    Shifter too close to dash?

    How, does Ford miss something like that. The last thing I want to have to worry about is my knuckles banging the center console on a 2-3 quickshift. I hope its not as bad as you say.

    2005 Automatic GT Suppose It's Possible????

    Low 12's in a stock GT, I don't give a damn if you got gears K&N and slicks. Unless you got some insane factory freak, GT's are not hittin 12's without some work.

    Tuning with the vct...

    I refuse to believe there is no way to alter an ecu. Is this ecu different than any other in the world? It took 6-8 months before someone broke the code on the VW 1.8T but after that, they basically took the ecu apart and put a piggyback chip on the brains. Then they figured out how to alter...

    2005 Mustang release rumours in Oz

    I'm not doubting you, or tryin to be an ass. Over here though 150 isn't too tough, but if you have some aerodynamic mods that could very well be the culprit. Do you have any pics? Also, gearing plays a big roll, what transmission is it. I'm not to familiar with V8's so if you know what other...

    2005 Mustang release rumours in Oz

    It shouldn't be too hard to hit 150 in that car or at least close. My bone stock SRT-4 can hit 153. The (stock)SRT-4 is a little faster than an 03 GT with basic bolt-ons. At a minimum I think an 03 GT could ring out 145. The 05 I expect to have similar performance as the SRT-4 so I'd expect...

    2005 Mustang or Subaru WRX STi

    Is there a difference between a Live axle and a solid rear axle?

    2005 Mustang or Subaru WRX STi

    My bad, brainfart! Renesis is it. It's an all new design, but my point was its still just a 1.3L Rotory, like the 13B. I believe its a twin rotor. What I was tryin to express is that, rotaries are known for their free revving nature and high power output relative to their size. For him to...

    Rebates on the 2005 Mustang?

    I've only bought 2 new cars in my life and I paid 600 under sticker for the SRT-4 and about 900 under sticker for the GTI. The GTI platform is like 5 years old, and the new model is almost here. Plus it was the end of 2003 so they were tryin to get rid of the 03's. The SRT-4 was an 04 but...

    Black, spoilerless 05

    I couldn't agree with you more. How much is the option on the V6 models? We should get either a credit or another option thrown in. As much as everyone says its not a big deal, I really need to know the prices of the options and such. I don't plan on spending much over 27K. There's only a...

    2005 Mustang or Subaru WRX STi

    Just a couple of comments. SRT-4 People are hitting 12's and 300whp on stock turbo and internals. 12's with 1K-2K worth of mods. With an aftermarket turbo the engine has hit 500whp on stock internals. RX-8 It's awful slow in a straight line, once the engine is wound up it's not as bad...

    Is IRS a dealbreaker?

    As much as I like the sound of a "stripper" version of the stang with a V8 in it. It's also a double-edged sword. By making all of these things standard in the mustang it allows them to keep the price of the stang down. My main concern is price.......the more things they stuff in the stang...

    Interesting

    Don't let me find a place in FL that needs an 05. I'll still have my Honda so they can keep it as long as they want. Free parts......I'm sold! My friend bought the new VW R32 and his car is the test mule for APR. It's a sacrifice but he gets all this awesome isht for free! They even plan on...

    Rebates on the 2005 Mustang?

    I think the military rebate is standard for any Ford car, and its like $750 or $800. I'll be using mine! WHOOP-WHOOOOP

    wtf is car and driver smoking

    Yeah this is true. This motor is really going to be awesome. My main fear is the new ecu. I have a 2003 VW GTI, it's also drive by wire and the ecu is a monster. I'm tellin you its going to take a while before someone cracks that ecu. For DIY'ers this ecu is going to suck, if its anything...

    wtf is car and driver smoking

    I know that the stang is going to have more power than the truck. I can't remember the specifics, but they changed some things around to allow the motor rev higher and make power higher in the rev range. It makes a considerably less amount of torque than the truck motor. However the only...

    C6 cheaper than C5!!!, will this help keep 07 Cobra prices down?

    I must agree with z28x on this one. Ever since the C5 came out, I don't think the vette has had any problem in the sales department.

    wtf is car and driver smoking

    As you stated thats an estimate. If this were true there's a couple reasons why. For one the 05 is supposed to launch better, hence the lower 0-60. The Cobra motor that you are bringing into question has the 4 valve heads that I would assume can breath better up top. Considering the fact...

    C6 cheaper than C5!!!, will this help keep 07 Cobra prices down?

    I paid 21K for my Neon and I haven't looked back. It's an awesome deal and its a great price for what you get. Most cars in that class cost about 20K loaded out so it really isn't that bad when you factor in the performance advantage. Almost all of the compacts start under 15K, Civic, Golf...

    Introduction

    I'm in the same shoes as you. Welcome but I've been here less time than you. I hate waiting, but this should be my last car purchase for a long time. I want to do the basic bolt on route and then eventually go forced induction.
