    2005 FORD GT WHITE BLUE STRIPES

    Seems like a typical car salesperson to me. What I can't see is the money that the new GT's are bringing. For $380K you could buy yourself a Mark V GT-40 and have $80K left over. For not much more you can get into a lesser Mark I car or a Mark III. The new GT is NOT a GT-40 but will have...

    Radar Detectors and License plate cover

    I have a V1 ($400) that has saved me countless points and $$$. From my experiences: If you're going to get a radar detector, get the best on the market. I learned the hard way. If you have a detector AND get pulled over, more often then not you'll get a ticket. If you don't have one...

    Bassani baffles

    My car is quite a bit quieter with the baffles in. It's still loud enough though.

    '03-'04 Cobra vs. Vipers

    I don't know too much about the newer Cobras and was just wondering how they compare to the following Vipers in straight line acceleration: '93-95 RT/10 '97-'02 GTS Assuming both cars are stock. Anybody race a Viper in their '03-04 Cobra?

    02-04 Mustangs look better

    I currently prefer the '99-'04, but the '05 is growing on me.

    Steeda, Roush, Saleen?

    Just my $.02: Saleen s281 -- High resale, collectibility, looks sweet, but have been known to dyno relatively low, and poor customer service? Roush SIII -- Good resale, good power, best brakes on a stang. Steeda Q400 -- Low resale, goodbye drivetrain warranty, long delivery time, but optioned...

    The true facts!

    pre-fix '99 cobras were slow.

    very high miles...5.0 vs 4.6

    I don't know too much about the 5.0's, but I have a stock '99 GT with 140K hard miles on it that gets around 25 mpg (highway). I use Mobil 1 and change the oil every 5000. I'll go through about a quart every 5000 miles. Just my .02

    Leaking oil and not sure where.

    Thanks, putting a piece of cardboard under the car is a great idea. I'll do that tommorrow morning. I'm also gonna check my tranny oil. Any other suggestions?

    Leaking oil and not sure where.

    Hi all, I've got 138K miles on my '99 stang. I have an oil leak coming from the front of the car. It's only a drop every couple of days but has been going on for some time. The worst part is that I can't find where the leak is. It's not from the pan or filter and seems more toward the...

    Differences in 93 Octane Gas?

    Hi all, Are there differences between Bp, Mobil, and Marathon 93 Octane gasolines? Are they all the same? The reason I'm asking is that I've always used Amoco 93 but switched to Bp when Amoco was bought out. Now I'm getting detonation with the Bp 93. I don't have any problems with Sunoco...

    Horrible Engine Noise

    Dude, Yea the same thing happened to my '99 GT last weekend after it sat for 2 days (I typically drive it every day). It sounded so bad I shut if off right away and when I started it again, it sounded fine. It sounded like spark knock or something, kind of a dieseling sound, I guess. I just...

    Bassani Xhaust?

    Have bassani O/R X pipe and cat back. I did the install myself and was very pleased with the quality. Personally, I love the sound of it. It's not a real throaty sound but it is definitely loud. AT WOT the NASCAR type sound describes it best. I drove around for a couple of months w/o the...

    I made a boo boo (drag racing)

    Yea, its 4 points on your license, which really isn't too bad considering you get 12. Technically, you can get caught a second time and still have a few points left over for speeding and such, if that makes you feel any better. :) My ex-gf was caught racing her T/A a couple of years back but...

    02 GT take on a 99 Cobra

    IMHO...If he's bone stock and still has 3.27's and if you can launch--You'll take him up to 60mph. Past 60, he'll go by ya. As been mentioned though, should be a drivers race.

    Help with 98 Cobra Needed!

    Something similiar happened to my '99 GT. Took it in when it was under warranty and they said they just had to replace a solenoid or something. It was a quick fix and they seemed to know exactly what was causing it. Sorry I couldn't be more specific about the part though.

    Kinda Gutless?

    My '99 will spin them through first and chirp second pretty well. Never gotten third on a warm day. My '97 cobra (stock also) would spin'em pretty hard in first, second and chirp third. Funny, cuz I feel that my '99 is faster to 60 than my cobra and considering I've taken '96 and '99 cobras...
