    Possible to find an 05GT for less the 17,000 next summer?

    haha, so did I, the same time frame and price in fact. But I tell ya, I looked hard, for quite a while. Used GT's out here on the west coast don't go cheap. Not nice ones with low miles. And I wanted a black car with black leather and a manual trans. Took 6 months, and I still negotiated w/the...

    Mustangs in Germany?

    it's only illegal in the USA (if you get caught that is). Even our neighbors to the north in Canada have no collusion laws.

    Cobra badges with Roush body kit

    since we can't control how anyone but how we behave, maybe we can start by not ridiculing him or calling them 'poser badges' ? If I don't ridicule him, and you don't ridicule him, that's 2 of us. It usually takes 1 person to start then the rest of humanity follows that lead. A group of 5 guys...

    Throttle Body Spacer

    you've gone far enough now to start thinking about which way you want to continue. Do you drag race ? Road coarse on track days ? Planning on doing a lot of showing your car ? Or strictly a street car ? Maybe even a combo of all the above ? That will more influence where you want to go from...

    Cobra badges with Roush body kit

    hardly, adding Bullitt wheels is just like adding a Bullitt, or Cobra badge. Why put stripes on your car ? Cause it looks good to the owner. You guys are all so hang up on worrying about whether someone is a poser or not you're missing the whole thing that makes owning and fixing up your car so...

    swapping 07 v6 to a v8

    everyone would agree with that, it's not worth it. But that wasn't the OP's question. He asked how difficult it was.

    Good Deal on a 09 GT?

    tru dat, I'd add the 70 in there as well. The 10's look less aggressive, more feminine, more 'aero' to me. I like the muscular fender wells and the rear end on the 05-09's much better.

    swapping 07 v6 to a v8

    well to answer the OP, yes it can be done. I saw a V6 to V8 conversion in one of my Mustang magazines I read. But that being said, people have also gone to the moon. It will be a HUGE undertaking even for an extremely experienced mechanic. Don't let that stop you if you are determined to find a...

    Good Deal on a 09 GT?

    I sold cars for years at a big 'system house'. The old saying 'sell the car on your feet and the deal on your seat' still works. No matter what a guy says to you on the lot, and the old; "we haven't sold a car today, this week, this month' is all BS, there is no firm price or deal til you get...

    I prefer the running pony side emblems over the GT emblems. Think I'll buy a couple and replace mine.

    Cobra badges with Roush body kit

    asking for opinions is good, I do it too. But ya got take all the opinions and info in, and make your own decision. I wouldn't put cobra badges on a non-cobra, but if I wanted to, and thought they looked good, I would. Even if someone called them poser badges. People are proud of their cars, why...

    I like that style too, but if you're adding a center fog grill you may want to check out how that will look.

    Horespower Gain from just a tune??

    thank you, so are you saying (I think) that in reality, even though the EEC 'thinks' it's in a lean condition (which is where my question about CAIs come in) it isn't really ? So most all us layman who deduce that if; you get a CEL from a lean condition by adding a CAI, then the claims of...
