    Drilling through the firewall

    I need to drill a 1" hole through the firewall of my '06 for some 1/0 awg power wire (for stereo equipment). What's the best place to do this on the new mustangs? From the inside, it's difficult to tell what a good spot would be since there's so much padding and insulation directly behind...

    Got my New Tungsten Gray '06 GT! *Pics*

    I took it home for about $26,500 out the door, but I got it on X-plan because of my employer. I've seen several other Tungsten Gray GT's on the streets of Austin too. Haven't seen anyone else with the spoiler delete and medium parchment leather yet though. I think Invoice on it was about...

    Got my New Tungsten Gray '06 GT! *Pics*

    Here she is, 1 day old. Special ordered it Jordan Ford in San Antonio, Great dealership! Just a Base GT, only two options were leather and spoiler delete! Keepin' it simple. So far, I'm one very happy ford owner. Now I just need to get on the Stereo Upgrades and Cold Air Intake...

    How important is the interior color to you?

    Personally I went with the medium parchment. Living in a hot climate, I'm tired of black interiors. Plus I like heaving leather seats that look like a real leather color. I don't get it when you say black interiors are easy to keep clean. To me they look like crap when they fade and any...

    Brits Review Mustang GT

    The mustang is a bargain for the money and an american classic....you can't expect a brit to fully understand that. When I was shopping for cars, the new stang simply blew away any other sport coupe, or sports car for tha matter in its price range. Look what it's up against in the sub-30k...

    yay!!

    Nice one! I should be getting mine in that same color in a month or so. Only differences from yours are the medium parchment interior and spoiler delete....

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    I also need to give a major thanks to "The Extreme" for hooking me up with a dealer in my area who would honor X-plan pricing. Thanks man!

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    Thanks again to everyone for all their help! Yesterday I put my deposit down on a Tungsten Grey '06 Mustang GT deluxe with medium pachment leather. Add leather and spoiler delete were my only two options. It was a very tough decision, and like I said earlier I test drove both the Ford and the...

    Pics of speakers inside door

    Sorry to ressurect this, but have any of you seen the door panels on cars without the shaker system? How difficult would it be to cut a hole for a 6.5" or 7" midrange where the shaker 8" usually goes? The reason I ask is I will likely special order the car if I get one, and don't want to...

    After five months of waiting, I got mt GT!

    If you don't mind my asking, how much did you end up paying and how did you get it on the X-plan? If your dealer is a good one to work with I would consider doing business with them, regardless of where they are in the country, since most of the ones around here turn into total douchebags when...

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    Yeah....the M3's look awesome, although they're too far out of my price range at over 40k. Maybe a good car to shoot for in 5 or 10 years when I'm in a better place career-wise.

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    I also drove an Infinit G-35 coupe today....t'was definitely a nice, quiet ride but I didn't like the tranny as much as the GT or the RX-8. It definitely didn't have the balls of the GT either. I'd give it a pretty significant edge over the Mustang in terms of creature comforts (seat controls...

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    Well I test drove both cars again monday and tuesday, but this time I really got to open up the GT a bit. I must say the GT has gained ground in my mind and if I can find a good dealer to order an 06 from I will do it. I took some corners at decent speed and the GT pulled it off no sweat. My...

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    Most RX-8's are dynoing in the neighborhood of 190 HP, rated at 238 HP. From what I understand you're supposed to lose 10-15% when you dyno a car at the wheels due to drivetrain effeciency, so a mustang at 270 would be right on with only a 10% loss whereas the RX-8 would be pushing it with a...

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    I really want to test drive the GT again. The first time I had a nervous ford salesman next to me and he really wouldn't let me open it up around any corners. I'm not sure how much the difference in handling would decrease my daily driving enjoyment of the mustang. It did feel a bit...

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    Realistically, how much do you guys think I'd need to spend to get an 06 GT deluxe coupe bare bones with no options? The '05 retailed for $25,140 from what I understand. I'm pretty sure I could get an RX-8 for 26k out the door, don't think I'd be willing to spend any more than 27k for the...

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    I can get an '05 right now without ordering it. There are a few here and there, but most dealers want nothing less than MSRP + 3k. I'm really in no hurry to get my new ride, so I'll probably just find a dealer who will honor the X-plan and order an 06 through them. If that's not possible...

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    Help! I think I love both of these cars and can't figure out which one is really the best fit for me. I want a decent sports car for under 30k and have pretty much narrowed it down to these two. I'm not the type of person who races or goes to drag strips, but I'd classify myself as an agressive...
