    Dissapointed in the new Stang

    I think thats one of the crappiest reviews i have ever seen. If you go to a Kia dealership looking for that good old A/B car are you gonna start analyzing minor things like the interior is cheap. If you go to look at a Mustang you are looking for affordable performance, not some artsy done up...

    Looking for Eleanor pics???

    I think what was more frustrating was when your looking for a nice minor restoration project Fastback 67-69 and every one is buying them all up for premium money so they can make Elenor's like the movie. I'm sure with the classic look of the 05, it will be no time at all before you can buy a...

    Looking for Eleanor pics???

    The car company you are looking for is HERE. They are the ones that made the "Gone in 60 Seconds" car, although i think they bought the actually company that made that car at the time. The link is to the actual Elenor body kit which they are no longer producing.

    GT- Auto or Manual in the snow?

    There is no way an Auto is better in the snow. No matter what you have more control over the power applied directly to the tires with the manual. In the auto you try to guage the power to the tire and be light on the gas. While the manual you can be light on the gas and feather the clutch. You...

    Possible Mustang Lineup

    I think we are all way too optimistic in the current future. Ford is just begining the 05 Mustang which was completely redesigned. I don't see them in any hurry to push out special edition Mustangs unless the 05 flops (which it won't). With the future of the Cobra already a definite (although no...

    Dodge really muffed the new Charger

    This is what it will look like. Although the pictures are drawings other magazines have had live photos of these designs. This is the current production design as of now. Who knows, manufacturers usually want public opinion before they release an anticipated model. Supposedly Dodge will unveil...

    05 GTO or 05 Mustang GT?

    Actually someone stated before that the nicely loaded 05 GT would go for around 26k and change,invoice. The GTO is 29,410 at invoice. I bought the Manual so that $695 option and is the only option as the car has many standard parts. That give you a grand total of $30,105. GMAC rebates are...

    05 GTO or 05 Mustang GT?

    If you haven't driven one then you can't compare the GTO. I decided to trade in my 2001 Mustang GT for the 2004 Pontiac GTO. I didn't pay anywhere near 35k for the car and with the rebate i paid almost the same i would have for the 2005 Mustang GT. First i don't know why people are comparing...

    2005 GTO Judge : RAM AIR 6 (official pics)

    Actually its a LS2 bored out to 6.4 liters (389 Cubes) making 575 hp and 500 torque. From what i have heard this car is either a possible 05/06 judge or its one of the Pontiac Engineers having stuff done to his car. Its actually been called the Woodward GTO as that was were it was unveiled...

    The new GT: Stupid Ford Dealers

    Just to let you know Ford cannot tell any dealer what price to sell the car at. They can only suggest an MSRP. Its called price fixing and is against the law. The dealers operate independently from Ford. The best way to hurt the rogue dealers is to get word out that they aren't a quality dealer...

    The under 20k Gt really does exist!!!!

    Earlier in the year you could get a brand new 03 GT for 20k and an 04 GT for a little more.. It was offered to me when i was looking to upgrade to a newer 5 speed. I would have gone with the deal if the dealer didn't lie to me about other things. The Mach1's had similar rebates offered, but i...

    auto or manual fastest?

    From what i have seen first hand in my 2001 Mustang GT AUTO, the shifting isn't setup well at all for normal cruising. When i hammer the gas it shifts smoothly and, most of the time, you don't notice it. There are occations when i think the tranny just doesn't know where it is. A good example is...

    Dyno numbers from a 5.4 3V

    Trucks are tuned for Torque not HP. Even in 5.0 Mustang they took a 5.4 Expedition engine and placed that into a 2001 Mustang. It was an easy swap with all things considered. When they ran the engine the base 4.6 was putting out more power. After tuning they were able to get it close to 300 hp...

    2005 Depreciation Rate

    Thats not a really bad price for a 8 year old car. I think everyone needs to remember that all cars are worth as much as the next person is willing to pay for it. If you think of car depreciation based on the cars around you will see that the Mustang holds it's ground for the type of vehicle it...

    2005 Depreciation Rate

    Every car that i have ever owned is used. My next car will be new. I think you can't look at it that way. When you buy cars its a big investment and almost alway a loss. Even when you buy a used car you will buy it at a loss. In some cases you can buy a car and sell it later for profit, but...

    Popular Mechanics says a new Cobra by mid 2005.

    I don't remember reading that C/D said it would be out. They only said that Ford will be focusing on making the Cobra more into a BMW M5 killer instead. I don't remember them saying it would be out only that it was in the future. I'll check that issue since im a subscriber. Basically i see...

    we gotta wait 2 years for a cobra??

    I could of sworn i read somewhere that the reason for the Cobra hiatus is that Ford is looking to move the Cobra into BMW M5 territory. This isn't to say its going to cost the same as an M5, but be the performance equivalent. I think from what people have been posting that Ford looked at it this...
