    next generation hwy patrol car?

    Actually it just might be on the horizon, Dodge/Plymouth used to be big in the police cruiser market in the 60's and 70's. I know last year Dodge was even sending a few concept law enforcement package Intrepids to different law enforcement departments and dealers around the country. Huffines...

    Hood scoops and side scoops ????

    Thanks RICKS, what I wrote was just all I could rember off the top of my head about those models. I didn't realize the shaker could be had with the 351 or 390. I cant recall ever seeing one those cars, they must be worth a lot if some one has one. Nor did I know about the manual function of the...

    Can the new '05 wear Bullitt rims or 2000 Cobra R rims?

    True they have been a part of mustang design and at many times a subject of ridicule of those designs from many enthusiasts. Now I can understand they do create a false since of sportiness to the average person who sees them on any vehicle. However its been my experience that many people who are...

    Hood scoops and side scoops ????

    Actually the 428 Cobra Jet Mach1 with the shaker hood scoop was funtional although the 351 Mach 1 scoop wasn't, so the origianl Mach 1 had the choice of either functional or non-functional depending on engine choice. And I am guessing you meant the Boss 429 which did have a functional scoop...

    Hood scoops and side scoops ????

    Did you ever consider that the major reason that more people bought the GT over the V6 special edition was that the GT has a more powerful V8 and not because the GT gets a fake scoop. And thats assuming you actually have sales numbers to actually back that claim up. So hold on your saying...

    Can the new '05 wear Bullitt rims or 2000 Cobra R rims?

    Hi texaco this is a forum where people post opinions :nice: , that is my opinion and I know I'm not the only member on this forum who thinks that fake scoops should go but I do know and respect the opinion of others who prefer them. And as last time I checked the mustang with the fake scoops...

    2005 Cougar

    I would love to see a new Cougar! IMO it should come with a bit more powerful engine than the Mustang GT and of course loaded with options standard. My brother has a 97 30th anniversary Cougar and with the 2v 4.6 it actually has pretty good getup despite its girth, but a new Cougar should be...

    Can the new '05 wear Bullitt rims or 2000 Cobra R rims?

    The bolt patterns dont match so the wheels don't interchange, although I'm sure aftermarket companies will be making similar style wheels for the new mustang eventually. Actually I am no fan of the fake hood scoop or side scoops on the Mustang or any car for that matter, if they are there...

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    new22003 you have some good points but I said stock for stock. It doesnt take a genious to figure out speed in a line comes a lot cheaper and a lot easier with the Cobra vs the STi or EVO. But these little rally cars are still damn quick and can hang with stock cobras period if the driver knows...

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    Apparently someone missed the Hot Rod cover story a few months back. STi vs. Cobra, the Cobra didnt do any smoking the STi did! I always thought the STi and EVO were a bit overpriced until I saw that article, for what they can do they arent overpriced! Mitsu is also comming out with a stripper...

    I don't like the V6 Mustang

    I absolutly love the GT, and the V6 looks anything but performance oriented compared to the GT in my eyes. The GT's grill lamps are just awesome! However I do like the V6's wheels with the spinners I think the GT should be able to have them as an option, they are very old school performance...

    05 Stang vs new GTO?

    Wow dude you sure are negative and without reason. For starters, cylinder deactivation for powerful V8's is just starting, at least at Chrysler and GM which turns a 8 cylinder into a 4 for gas mileage purposes until ya need to accelerate which adds at least 5-8 mpg if not more this is the very...

    Mercury Eliminator w/Boss 302 vs 00 GT

    The Mercury Cougar of '69-'70 with a Boss 302 might weigh in around the same as a Fox body mustang '87-'93, possibly less. The '69-'70 Mustangs/Cougars were not heavy weights compared to todays pony's. I hate to break it to you but with government safety mandates and computer controls our ponies...

    Confirmed Mustang GTR!

    http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/business/national/8354298.htm The Miami herald has a interview that gives power numbers and a few other details. 5.0L "Cammer" with 440HP! But it sounds like this is a concept for a race car not a street car: formula 1 controls, roll cage, one seat, racing...

    What does Japan think?

    The Cobra's mileage fell just under the EPA's 22.5mpg factored average which is the magic number to beat to not get slapped by the guzzler tax. Hot Rod's assesment of the poorer mileage from the STi is due to the lack of lowend torque verse the Cobra's motor, so the STi motor had to be kept in...

    What does Japan think?

    Spanky, check out the Jan.04 issue of Hot Rod with their article on the Mustang Cobra vs. the WRX STi cover story. You'll see within, even though it makes similar performance numbers as the Cobra the reality of turbo charging means more fuel to go with all that extra air, hence it basically...

    From LS1.com - Lutz says no new Camaro

    Well I doubt a well supported argument could be made that Turbo sixes will be replacing V8's as the norm for high volume performance cars at GM, since both can make similar power but the Turbo 6 would most likely cost a lot more to produce. How does number of cylinders have anything to do with...

    Turbo V-6

    Oh and FPV also built a 5.6L (347ci) derivative of the old pushrod 5.0L in '02 I believe before dropping the pushrod in '03 for the 5.4L DOHC motors. If I rember right it was hand built by FPV. I've been a big fan of Austrailian Ford muscle ever since I discovered these Falcons a few years...
