    The best news we could get beofre the 05 bows

    AHA a mechanic huh? Well actually you are wrong. A blown head gasket can casue whit or blue exhaust. White is from coolant, blue is oil. Ever notice that oil in the antifreeze of cars that have this problem?

    The best news we could get beofre the 05 bows

    Bull crap. I drove a neon to work every day for 7 years. Got 28 mpg and it had 220k on it when it was totaled by an explorer. It still had a stong motor and I neve had one problem. FYI, I was sitting still behind a car that stopped for deer....the explorer hit me doing at least 40 mph and...

    05 GT as quick as 02 Z28's?

    I agree that the z28 would win with slicks but not on street tires. The bet I ever saw one run is a 13.5 and 5.5 to 60. That means it will like ly be a toss up on without slicks.

    What does Japan think?

    Japanese design??? Who do you think comes up with these Japanese designs??? Sure as heck not them. Thats why there is a big push over there to infuse "japanese DNA" into cars. They clearly admit that they have done nothing but copy and rely on westren designers. Starting this year, all of...

    Comparison to Mustang

    Canada had a vote about 10 years or so back on weather they wanted to join the US. They voted it down by a large margin. It was not even close. Mexico would love to be part of the US.

    Comparison to Mustang

    mp67, japanese cars have not always been high quality. The 70's and early 80's cars were good on gas but total crap. Look around and see how many you still see. Of the ones you find ask the owner how many rust holes he had fixed.

    Why did my dealer quote me 27,000 for 05GT? Anyone?

    mball, I dont see a whole lot of people trading in their "gas guzzlers". Just as many SUV's and trucks out there during my drive to work this morning as always.

    WtF???? What chicks do you think are trying to pick up guys driving a honda accord??? People shopping for the mustang are not going to cross shop the accord. I dont understand where you would link the 2 at all.

    Z28x, forgive me if I am wrong but I think the cobra weighed 400lbs more them the fbodys.

    What does Japan think?

    Actually,mball, you are right. The fast and the furious website (when the movie was first released.) had the charger running 3 tenths ahead in the 1/4 mile then the supra.

    05 GT as quick as 02 Z28's?

    The 05 should win to 60 with a good driver but it likely will be a toss up. The best I have seen a fbody run is a 5.5. The fbodys ran 13.5's in the 1/4 on street tires stock. We can only hope that the 05 can better that with a good driver. The reality is that even before the numbers are...

    05 vert caught on the street!

    marcus95, this "retro" aversion that some people have is just stupid. Every car is "retro" unless they completely scrap the current design and go another direction. 99% of cars out there carry over styling from one generation to another. Thats how the car is recognizeable as that car. The...

    The best news we could get beofre the 05 bows

    I was just reading how brands that cost 35% over the average spend a disproportinate amount of time in te shop. That includes BMw, Mercedes, and land rover. Hows that for quality?

    Why did my dealer quote me 27,000 for 05GT? Anyone?

    Sicarius428, no one ever said a thing about the GT being at or even close to 20k. Everything from Ford say between 24900 to 26900 loaded.

    I have owned only American cars for 15 years and never had an issue. 2 of them were 1st year cars.

    Why did my dealer quote me 27,000 for 05GT? Anyone?

    When the 05 is released, peak travel season is over and gas prices will be way lower then the projected highs this summer. Dont bet on gas creating artificial discounts on the new mustang.

    I hope you are wrong about that. Hopefully with all this testing Ford has learned not to release a car before its ready.

    Why did my dealer quote me 27,000 for 05GT? Anyone?

    I think he is quoteing the MSRP that Ford is giving dealers in their seminar. I also heard this price at the Baltimore autoshow during the presentation.
