    GT500 tested in the new Car and Driver...

    If you read the full thread that was in response to mrdci's comment that the GT500 has ancient suspension components. I was just saying that the Vette has ancient components as well and they work fine. As well as the GT350 race cars have basically the same setup as the GT500 and they have been...

    GT500 1/4 times?

    The people in magazines generally drive conservatively. They don't powershift, they don't warm up the tires, sometimes they don't turn traction control off, and more often than not they run the cars on regular pavement and not a prepped track. Their numbers are typically not where they should...

    GT500 tested in the new Car and Driver...

    I think if they did anymore to it they would have had to bring the price up. The MSRP on the car is already almost $42,000 for the coupe, any more and you would be pushing corvette/M3 territory, which is not what Ford and the SVT team wanted. I guess they figure a large percentage of people who...

    GT500 tested in the new Car and Driver...

    The vettes suspension components aren’t exactly cutting edge. They still use a horizontally mounted leaf spring, same basic setup they have been using since 1984, and the same basic setup Shelby used on Cobra Roadsters in the 60's. The GT500's suspension is actually a very good setup both for...

    GT500 tested in the new Car and Driver...

    If I remember correctly that test was done using a detuned pre-production version. I would wait for tests of the production car.

    2007 Mustang! 28 pages of official info...

    When they say cloth top on the convertible, does that mean it's a real cloth top like on the '03/'04 Cobra Convertibles, or is it that ugly vinyl/plastic like on all the other convertible GT's?

    This is pretty funny

    Haha! My Lincolns comming out for the first time in 16 years this summer. I've got a '73 Mark IV with a 460 big block. If I get 8mpg I'll be happy, but I don't care. I restored it, I should be able to drive it. :D

    If it's not there check the glove box, I know BMW puts their aux/Ipod connector in there.

    This is pretty funny

    The best is when I got a note on my diesel truck saying I cause global warming, which, if they knew anything about diesel it's completely false. Gas vehicles produce much more Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide than diesel vehicles do, which is the cause of global warming. It would help if these...

    shelby gt-h...possible future gt350?

    To be a GT350 it needs to have atleast 350hp IMHO, personally I think the GT350 should have a N/A version of the 5.4L making 385hp. Just like the Mach 1 had a N/A version of the Cobra's S/C DOHC 4.6L.:flag:

    Ford officially announces the GT/CS

    This thing is like an answer to a question nobody had.:rolleyes: But, you see what the purpose of this mustang is for Ford right? When people go to buy a GT500 and discover they are all already sold or spoken for the nice man at the ford dealer will take them over by the CS GTs and say...

    A can of Fix a Flat..oh boy

    Actually, that's not too bad. Most of the high performance cars now don't have a spare and come with run-flat tires, which arn't the best for performance. Since they are going the fix-a-flat can route they can save money on tires not having to buy expensive run flats (and pass the savings on to...

    2007 CorvetteZ06 Vs 2007 GT500

    Why does everyone always want to compare the GT500 and the Z06? They are completely different cars. The Z06 is meant to be competition for the Viper, Ford GT, 911, ect. The GT500's competition is the 425hp Charger and 300C, Challenger (?), GTO, Camaro, E55 AMG, BMW M3, Maybe the M5, ect. High...

    more new stangs?

    I'm hoping they make one with a N/A version of the 5.4L making around 380hp. 320hp and 340hp is nice, but I want to actually be able to beat 5+ year old Camaro's and T/As without voiding my warranty. :D I wish Ford would make an announcement soon about other models, with people hearing about...

    coupe vs. vert - need feedback

    For me the difference was in being able to fit or not. I do not fit comfortably in the hardtop version of my '03 Cobra, my head hits the roof. The convertible gives another inch or so of headroom which was enough for me to be completely comfortable (though I can never put the sun visor down or...

    06/07 Mustang SVT

    All that info has since been changed. Most all of the other high performance vehicles have been canceled and SVT is done and gone in about a week. An updated letter was sent out to dealers not too long ago, you need to get your hands on that one.:D
