    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    Who in there right mind would want this car back after all its been through in only its first month of existence? I personally would never be able to feel confident in a car rebuilt by dealership mechanics that hardly have any experience with this new model. Unfortunately, the dealership...

    FORD SUED FOR MY COLOR

    Like this is really some kind of technological break through. Any car maker could add this option a million different ways, and decades ago.

    04 Cobra or 05 GT

    Sure are alot of fools in here, always jumping on the latest bandwagon, and trying to make every else feel inferior. First it was the F-bodies, and now it's even the former stangs. Few points I would mention: The Fox body on the 94-2004 stangs is hardly the original Fox body. It is...

    GOOD DEAL ON COBRA ?

    Nice set of mods which saves you the trouble and expense of modding yourself, but also means the car has probably not been babied in terms of the way it was driven. Looks like it's been well taken care of though. I think 15 is a decent deal if it has not been abused. You could probably find...

    05' Mustang vs 350Z

    You know what, it's a nice start. And it's the type of issue that should never make it to the market. And where there's smoke, there's fire. The issue is, Ford lets this happen. Toyota, Lexus, Honda, infiniti, would never let this happen. They live by their reputation of quality. Ford on...

    05' Mustang vs 350Z

    But were there any misaligned parts? I suspect not, because those kinds of problems would never even make it out of the factory. My brothers 2001 Mustang GT on the other hand looks like it was assembled by the blind. You've got to question Ford when they let this type of crap happen. It's...

    05' Mustang vs 350Z

    I guess we should all expect such bias on a Mustang forum. Hell I'm a biased American car lover too. But wake up, the japanese cars have been far superior in engineering and quality for years. I think we're all just hoping that Ford has finally come through with the 2005, but I will remain a...

    05 GT vs MACH1 race RESULTS.....thats right...RESULTS!

    Who cares which one is slightly faster. I can never understand why people attach so much pride to their cars. You didn't design it, build it, or have much at all do with it, other than you purchased it. You might have put a few mods on it, but anyone with a little mechanical ability can do...

    Not enough power... In 2005

    The F-bodies are no longer in production because they were designed poorly and they were ugly. If GM would have put the LS1 in a decent car that was around 25000, they would have sold like hotcakes. Low end torque is what makes a muscle car fun. Who wants to always have to rev the hell out of...

    Not enough power... In 2005

    I just find it so frustrating that this latest generation muscle car still can't compete with its only competitor's previous generation. OHC or OHV, who cares, they both get the same MPG, but the GM pushrods are way more powerfull (and more fun).

    Not enough power... In 2005

    The 2005 Mustang GT will unfortunately get owned by all those LS1 F-bodies out there, many of which cost well less than 25000 when they were available.

    Not enough power... In 2005

    I personally think the 4.6 is just too small for a muscle car. Unless it's supercharged, its going to be a dog when it comes to low end torque. I have to agree with some of the above opinions that the latest Mustang should at least compete with the LS1. Torque is what makes a muscle car and...

    Confused about the GT Engine...

    I highly doubt that the single cam will out-rev the twin cam, which is a major factor in horsepower. Obviously a twin cam is a superior design, cost not considered. The advantage of this new engine is it runs on 87 and is cheap to build. Sometimes technology doesn't make something better...

    Confused about the GT Engine...

    It will be around 300 HP +/- 5 HP. 99-01 Cobras are 320.

    isnt 1st year of new model a wait & see??

    Absolutely there's going to be bugs with anything as complex as a car. Even a new model Lexus will typically have at least one issue. The other unfortunate thing is first year cars also become less desirable used cars later on. Go and see how unpopular 97 Vette's are, even the one's with low...

    SVT/Mach 1 vs. SRT-4 Decision

    Wait for the 05 Mustang GT which is only about 2 months away. It will be cheaper than the Mach, just as fast, better handling, much more refined, much safer (gas tank is in front of rear wheels, side impact is far superior -has optional side air bags and and safety cage. What can I say, it's...

    Should I trade up? Help!

    There will always be something better on the horizon. Seriously though, wait for the 05 or greater -its that much better.

    Are cobras dangerous?

    Like someone said above, the rear-end collision is dangerous. This is because the gas tank is back there. Most modern cars have the tank in front of the rear wheels for safety reasons. All Mustangs since the beginning have had this flaw and Ford has never seen fit to correct it. If someone...

    Shorty Header ?

    Headers would be alotta work for minimal gain. The real problem is the cats and you can't touch those in Cali.

    Huge wheel wells?

    I was wondering why the wheel wells are so large, as if the car was designed for 18 inch wheels. There is so much clearance that it makes the car look like a 4X4 with the 17's. Some people obviously lower their cars to take care of this, but maybe getting 18 inch wheels is a better...
