    LS1 forum folks droolin over 05 stang

    They did put out something that rivaled the Ls-1, the 4.6L Mach 1 5spd is basically on par or at the least comes awfully close, and the 03 Cobra beats it. However, Ford did slack on the GT's part. You can have your 05 with the Ls-1, i'll take mine with the blown 4.6 and T56 from the 03 Cobra...

    2005 GT question

    Get a cheap rental or have a friend teach you on his beater. I bought my first manual before i ever got behind the wheel of a manual car. I didn't even drive it home since i didn't know how. Took me a whole 10min to get the basic hang/concept of it, and had it mastered by the end of the...

    Problem with new mustang

    Gotta remember,even cars like the Rx8, 350z, GTO, STi, EVO, WRX, etc.... can be conisdered competitors.They're all vying for a pirce of the 24-35k performance car market. Btw: When you're outsold 3 to 1, you stop being a serious competitors...and that's both f-bods combined. That, and the...

    Will it have HID's?

    Perhaps on the more upscale Cobra come 2006. I doubt we'll see them on the GT, even as an option.

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    I doubt we'd see that in a semi-30k production mustang. Isn't that like a 14,000 dollar engine? Pricey. Maybe a VVT version of the N/A 4.6 Dohc pushing 350hp? Or a N/A 5.4L Dohc pushing 350-400hp.

    The Complaint Department

    While i don't think it's better looking than the Sn95's (especially new Cobra's, Mach's, or even the GT), it does look good and the looks seem to have a lot more potential as well. The interior, chassis, etc.... should be light years better though.

    If the Shelby Cobra comes out, will it hold back the performance of the SVT Cobra

    This is some parts i'm quoting from the recent C&D mag.

    If the Shelby Cobra comes out, will it hold back the performance of the SVT Cobra

    I think it'll be like this. From 2004 to 2006 Ford GT - 500-550hp factory rating - actual rating probably closer to 600hp. in 2006 as a 2007 model Ford SVT Cobra- 500hp. Same engine as SVT lightning which should get 500hp mill as well. Ford already said they plan to use the GT's engine...

    With or without foglights?

    Looks a lot better without. Looks much cleaner.

    silver GT with white stripes

    For some reason, the red car seems to be coming up under your posts. Here's the silver one.

    5spd auto

    Stabilize and completely swap out are two different things in my book. I'll use my car as an example. IMO Stabilizing would be me rebuilding the T-5 with slightly stronger parts..... but that would only take me so far. Same with the other mustang 5spds. I get your point, but you're not getting...

    5spd auto

    The 400hp/400lb tq was in reference to the new GT. I was hoping the 5spd in it would hold up up under such power somewhat reliably. As for my car, you don't need near that much power to break the T-5;). I believe the T-5 has been passed on to the 99+ 3.8's, Lol. That should tell you a thing or...

    5spd auto

    I can't blame ford for putting a glass tranny behind the 5.0's??????? Look at the 93-95 Cobras and the changes that had to be made to the computer/tune just so the T5 could survive behind them. You can forget about the mid 80's T5's since those were even weaker. Look, we're all enthusiats...

    5spd auto

    Come on dude, you know well what i'm talking about. Lets not get into the trailer queens and the like. I'm not talking about all out drag cars, i'm talking about a high performance street cars. Not just on the strip, but around the corners and overall as well. I think most of manufacturers have...

    5spd auto

    You must be one of those oldies who balk at modernity and keeping pace with the times :lol:. A 4spd? Lemme guess, you probably think we should have stayed with carbs, leaf springs, speed density, drum brakes, and the like :rlaugh:. Obviously, the thought of a T56 being offered as an option is...

    5spd auto

    Of course they won't be held responsible. They sold you a 300hp car, not a 400hp one. But take a look at a 5spd like the T-5. Some of the earlier versions were barely sutible for even stock or bolt-on applications. Ford had to detune the 93-95 Cobra computer just so the T-5 could live behind...

    5spd auto

    You misunderstood my post. I wasn't saying that Ford should make those engines optional. Some of them like the 5.0 pushrod have been dead for sometime now, and it looks like the 2v 4.6 in the mustang is dead as well. Those engines are history. I meant Ford put out great motors in the form of...

    5spd auto

    Yeah to some extent everything can be considered optional since there's always the aftermarket, but i'd like to have that option from the factory. That way, the quality of install and everything would be done to factory OEM specs. You know...drive it off the lot and not have to deal with some...
