    Price re-negotiating

    Get your deal in writing and put $500 to back it. Until they get $ in their hands, they have no incentive to put in an order. Especially one under MSRP. Be happy that your deal is under MSRP. Now put some $$$ down to seal the deal.

    Hemmings Muscle Machines - most luke-warm review to date

    That's funny. 95 out of 100 cars in that magazine have solid rear axles. They have plain 60's dashs, or crummy 70's plastic dashes. They have 400HP but can't get it to the ground with stock tires and lack of traction. I guess they can't stand the fact that a stock 2005 Mustang turns heads and...

    G-TECH on your '05

    I got my car weighed at the local Transfer Station. For those of you who don't know what that is, we don't have a local dump. There is a Transfer STation where you (and the garbage trucks) go to do your dump run. They process the stuff there (recycleables, green waste, etc) and the truck the...

    G-TECH on your '05

    Luckily I do have a road that I can use, however 1/4 mile runs will not be safe. I will have to limit it to about 0-80 runs or so (I could squeeze in a 1/4 mile, but then I'd be approaching a mild turn at 100mph, and you never know who is coming around the corner over the line). By keeping it...

    G-TECH on your '05

    I have an Escort G-Timer inbound. It will be fun. It's not got as many features as the best G-Tech, but it will help me more accurately measure my 0-60's and other runs in order to help me measure the affects of my modifications.

    SCREWED BY DEALER TODAY!!

    If you have anything in writing (email suffices), it will stand up in small claims court in most states. In California, that's $5,000 for your club. Just tell them "You can stand up and be a good businessman and live up to your contract, or I can take this to Small Claims Court and let...

    Newbie with spoiler dilemna!!!

    Actually, bcoon has a good idea. It may take a while to find the Mineral Grey V6 buyer, but it will happen. Bcoon- Talk to your local dealers. They may even do a part swap with a Mineral Grey V6 that they have in stock in order to make it look more snazzy for their buyers.

    Cool Video!

    Fast car. Now exactly WHAT does this have to do with the 2005 Mustang? Did you post this on the Dodge Turbo Diesel forum as well?

    Hydrocarbon trap removal, dyno results.

    No need to post the detail twice, see the original post here: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=10795 Additional info: I dropped the car off with a Flowmaster axle-back system (not a kit they are selling, but off the shelf parts), and the HC trap removed. The dyno shop did...

    Time to reveal your personal "MY COLOR"

    I run 551 or 541, can't recall which.

    Alright I'm New..But got a story

    Dude, I'm not mad, and I'm certainly not jealous. I'm concerned that a kid can ask for, and receive, a brand new high performance V8 just for holding out his hand. It's not the kids fault. It's the parents fault. Life isn't about giving your kids THINGS, it's about teaching them lessons that...

    Alright I'm New..But got a story

    Must be nice to be able to just have your dad buy you one. My parents had the money, but they certainly never would have spoiled me with a brand new car. When I was 17, my dad helped me buy a beater Mustang. By helping me just a little, he helped me out the MOST in the long run.

    Custom Stainless Full Exhaust!

    Flowmaster doesn't yet offer a kit for the 2005 Mustang GT. So don't hijack the thread, please.

    Break-in period of new 2005 stangs

    How far is it from where you pick up the car to the freeway onramp? That's the break-in period! ;-)

    Flowmaster Axle-back

    I have a hard time "feeling" 5hp. I suspected a loss considering that Flowmaster wasn't readily giving me the dyno charts. Can't blame them really, I mean, this wasn't a kit advertised for use in the Mustang, they aren't done with R&D, so they shouldn't advertise a failed attempt. I should...

    Flowmaster Axle-back

    I got my car back from an independent dyno shop today, and the Flowmasters actually COST me 5 horsepower across the board. Not to knock Flowmaster. This is NOT a package they are selling for the Mustang. They WILL come out with a muffler specifically for the Mustang, later. My car is now...

    '05 GT Handling

    Let me clarify: There are awesome handling cars that don't have the roadholding of other cars. I'm not going to lecture everyone here. Go do some research, and stop confusing sheer roadholding (grip at the limits) with handling (objective and subjective characterizations about the quality of the...

    '05 GT Handling

    Do people really still confuse roadholding with handling, and do they really think that wider tires equate to a better number (considering the rest of the car is 100% different... different suspension components, weight, weight distribution, wheelbase, the list goes on). By that reasoning...

    MUSTANG GT,MUSTANG COBRA,PORSCHE BOXSTER S

    Sure, if someone is giving away Boxster S's, I'd take TWO, because I'd need one of those little buggers for each butt cheek. But seriously, if price is no object, sure, take the Boxster S. If price is important, then the Mustang has the bang/buck. In my case, with the mortgage and kids and...
