    Forged Internals

    Can the forged internals used in the 03/04 Cobra motors be used in the 05/06 Alum. short block?

    Kenne Bell 2.4L for 05 Mustang GT-Sick!!!

    Those are huge #s. Is the engine able to run 10psi long term? How much is that setup?

    gt-500 for 70k?

    Guys, these dealers are not stupid enough to think that anyone is going to pay 50 or 60 grand for a Mustang. This is real cheap psychology to get people to buy them for the sticker price. They did the same thing with the Mach1s which were to be a 1 year run of aroud 3k units. They ended up...

    Ok, so im confused...

    Talking about a joint venture or a collaborative effort between Shelby and Ford is about as plausible as an eighty year old playing in the NFL. Does anyone think that the Ford big shots are telling their highly paid MIT graduate engineers to go sit in the corner while an octagenerian calls the...

    gt-500 for 70k?

    70 grand indeed! They will probably do 25 at the auction 18 mos. later. These cars will be similar to the Terminators and ZO6s that took a huge 1st-2nd owner hit. I've been around this stuff for a long time and have seen this happen over and over. Bing, Bang, Bust. Be carefull with this one...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    I considered an 05 GT. After seeing many of these cars run at 2 different tracks and seldom breaking 14.0, forget it. A clean low mileage ZO6 is only a few bucks more than what these 05 GTs go for and are in another league across the board.

    Anyone Order An 06?

    Your dealer would have known the cut-off date at the time you placed your 05 order. Your 05 is being sold to someone else if you ordered before the cut-off date. Car dealers are notorius for doing things like that. Talk to 2 or three other Ford retailers about an 06 order or wait a few months...

    Proven 12 second combos and drag radial sizes

    I've watched numerous 05's at the track with various combinations of bolt ons, CAI,UDPs,SCT tunes etc. and none have done better than a 13.6. The stock 05's don't seem to crack 14.

    350Z or 05 Mustang GT?

    Nothing shy of an act of god is going to make a ricemobile more popular than these new Mustangs.

    350Z or 05 Mustang GT?

    The 350Z is just another overated import. Japanese manufacturers are notorious for making HP claims that don't perform to expectations.

    350Z or 05 Mustang GT?

    The interior quality of the 350Z is simply inexcusable at that price. The power is acceptable if your frame of reference is a 4cyl or V6 sedan. Anyone who has seat time with a V8 sports/muscle car will find a 350Z weak. This car really seems to be targeted for a female audience considering its...

    production time

    Several recent Ford publications have clearly addressed the production volume issue. There is no set limit. The car is to be manufactured in what ever volume will be consumed. This will eliminate their dealers ability to use terms like rare, hard to get, limited or other nonsense to justify...

    Is Your Dealer GT500 Certified?

    Ford could find that achieving their goal of selling this GT500 in higher volume than the previous 03/04 may be with any or all locations having the ability to sell. This would increase competition and hopefully reduce the initial price gouging that hindered sales of the previous SVT Cobras. The...

    How do you get on a list??????????

    Non refundable deposits. Sounds like the nonsense has started already! Ford has made it very clear that this is NOT in any way a limited production offering. They stress that they will manufacture as many Shelby Cobras as the public will consume. They are obviously attempting to squelch the...

    GT 500 Price From Dealer Connection

    The '03's were jacked 5K around here. Many of these cars sat for 18 months. Mine was one of those that had a $39,500 price tag. I paid 29K for the car with 20 miles on it. The GT500's will be greatly anticipated. This is an in house Ford offering where the addition of the "Shelby" nameplate...

    Local dealership recently sold their Ford GT after 4 months of marketing for msrp-did you buy it?

    MSRP and Invoice

    msrp There are virtually no dealers that remain in business by margin on new car sales. The availability of invoice/retail info on any make or model has forced sales of the overwhelming majority of new units at or slightly above invoice. This is simply the reality of new car sales. Dealers...
