    Motor Trend's predictions for the next gen Stang

    "If you have a problem with the styling, that would be a complaint for the individual who actually styled the car. That would be Jay Mays, not Hau Thai-Tang." Thats absolutely right. This guy is an engineer. He was handed the body style and the mechanical requirements and told to fit them...

    v6 2005 - Don't Laugh

    We are goign to have to get away from the HP and numbers games soon. That v6 accords being made over and the new one will be a 300hp v6. The numbers dont matter. Its the car and the way it makes you feel.

    v6 2005 - Don't Laugh

    What year firebird was that? Even the old 305's had 170hp. But they still had v8 tq and could spin the tires at will. I test drove a 02 v6 convertable and it felt less powerful then a Neon!

    Tuff Decision....

    The current GTO could have 400 + HP with less then $1500 in mods. But again, thats a limited production car. The ssr is a pig that with do 0 to 60 in over 7 seconds. Its less appealing then Chryslers prowler was. I can't see it lasting very long.

    Tuff Decision....

    Yes there are convertable pics with the top up around. The gto is 350hp but at 3800lbs and $10k more. The numbers should at least be even for the gto and GT. What other Chevy are you sepaking of? Do you mean the Mitsu Evoloution?

    Tuff Decision....

    My point is a mass produced car only needs so much HP. It will be plenty fun for a stocker. For the guys that want more there are always mods. Or better yet a NEW COBRA that will be like your car was to the current stang. The high horsepower cars cost a lot more then the GT will which limits...

    Tuff Decision....

    I gotta say this is starting to irritate me. On the street, there really is NO need for more then 300hp. The majority of buyers will only use the 05 on the street. 300hp is ballsy enough for anyone. Especially considering the tires and suspension will put it to the ground efficently. How can...

    05 GT performance times

    First, the gt should be mid 13's easy. The 350z in real life runs 5.9 to 60. The g35 is 6.3 to 6.5.

    5 Speed Automatic Transmission

    Why? The irritating thing is pushing the clutch in and out. Shifting is cake.

    Off Topic: 1/4 Mile of 350Z

    Unfortunately, it drives like it has 27 horspower or so less. 350z = 14.1 with a good driver. I have not seen one break that.

    Off Topic: 1/4 Mile of 350Z

    Actually I have not seen the track run lower then a 14.1. Just becuase it has the looks and the paper numbers does not mean it can out them to the ground. It seems that a lot of people on the internet are starting to claim its a super car or something. I use to lurk on one of the more popular...

    My friend got to drive the Mustang GT

    I drove one as well. For like 6 and 1/2 hours until I woke up. It was pretty sweet.

    2005 looks nice,but,

    Onlt problem is the last generation of the 300 and rx7 placed them up in he 40k range. The new ones are significatly cheaper thent he old cars. Ford cannot do that.

    2005 looks nice,but,

    These guys are full of it. They are trying to make themselves feel better that they wont own the new car. I was no more then 2 feet away from it at the car show in Baltimore. The seats look at least 2 generations better then the current and the door handles have NOTHING bad to note at all...

    05 Stang vs new GTO?

    Asking why they would put the ls2 in the gto is like asking why they put the ls1 in the fbodies at the same time as it was in the corvette.

    loaded 05 GT to sell for more than $30,000?

    I agree, thats too much. What the 04 GT's are going for without rebates is too much. You cant find one that stickers less then 28500 around here. Granted a deal and rebates will take that much lower. When the 05 hits there will be no rebates. Last week, I came to the sad conclusion that...
