    price on 05 Mustang

    Thats what I have been going by(25.9k from athe ford team at an auto show). The thing is I have been looking at 04 GT's and most sticker for 27 to 28k! I konw with incentives and making a deal its much less. The comments coming out of ford in the last week speak of a tiny increase over the...

    05 identical gearing to 04 mach 1?

    351cj thats a big diffrence. Seems bigger then then horsepower and gearing would allow. MM&ff ran a 04 GT auto to 14.0! Ad it only had like 60 miles on it. Excuse my if I am imopressed by this.

    price on 05 Mustang

    If they are going to be 30k then I might as well buy an 04 mach now. I am willing o pay 26 or 27k with the red leather interior but no more then that.

    05 identical gearing to 04 mach 1?

    I had no idea the mach was this fast. The new car and driver has a mach with a supercharger kit that runs 11's. I dont so much care about that but they list the stock Mach as 4.9 0 to 60 and 13.2. That is the same as MM&FF. I test drove a mach a few weeks ago. I had no idea it could pull...

    Godzilla

    Speaking of Godzilla, the other day my mother in law said that 2 japanese men came up to her in a mall,said something and then hurried away. I quickly said did thay say "gahzrilla" (my best impression of what the japanese guy called Godzilla in the hollywood version)? And she said "Yes, thats...

    05 identical gearing to 04 mach 1?

    You are absolutely right. I did not factor that in. Still, 3 to 4 tenths off the STI is what I was expecting with the 200 to 300lb weight diffrence. I am not sure why mainstream mags are estimating so high.

    05 identical gearing to 04 mach 1?

    This months MM&FF has a comparo featuring the Mach1. They apparently were able to run a 13.1 with it(this seems pretty low to me , but hey they are pros!). Comparing it to last months MM&FF with the 05, the gearing and rear end is pretty much identical. If thats the case, they should be able...

    Buying a mustang

    s7v7n, have you even been in a a wrx or sti? The wrx's feel cheap(my brother in law has one and thinks its the greatrest car ever) and the STI feels like you are riding a skate board. You feel every little bump. I think the new mustang will be a better daily driver.

    Buying a mustang

    I was refering tothe 05 mustang havin 300hp fo 25k not the cobra. Also, I dnt put any stock in the magazine numbers for either the wrx or the sti. The are all over the place. Even Car and drive hinted tht they thought Subaru might be giving them ringers.

    Buying a mustang

    Yep even the japanese cannot do 300hp for that price. The STI is 32k with 300hp. Granted, its in a 200lb to 300lb lighter car.

    how do you justify buying a NEW car?

    Buying a 1 year old car makes no sense. Its likely got problems or the owner would not have traded it in. Buying a used v8 mustang itself is a crap shoot. People flog these cars. Think of what youy would do to lease if you were turning it in 3 years later. Its not like a family car.

    Buying a mustang

    sixstringthing....huh???? I wish i could feel like that. Then maybe I could get this car out of my head! When i saw the car in person (3 seperate times the same day) there were huge crowds around it in Baltimore. No one had one bad thing to say about it. I cant imagine looking at that form...

    2005 interior...WTF?

    MLC Stang, that how you drive a mini van (and even then its a lazy way to drive) not a Mustang. Its a performance car.......it deserves to be driven like one!

    do you like this 05' photoshopped ?

    ElCid2006, I use it to create textures for 3d models, modify original hand drawn scanned in art, and 10 other tasks. Photoshop has evolved from a app that reduced redeye into one that can do pretty much anything. Do a search on plugins to see whats available . I think you will be very suprised.

    do you like this 05' photoshopped ?

    Thats not the whole idea of photoshop. Thats why there are effects and plugins within to make it look like that! Photoshop allows an artist to make a picture look how THEY want it to. Just becasue you see a lot of Ford promotional stuff altered and still look like reality, that does not mean...

    2005 interior...WTF?

    I must be screwed in the head becasue I cant find a thing I dont like visually about this car. It's actually got me addicted to surfing the internet for info every chance I get. No other car has ever had this effect on be with just looks alone. I have fallen in love with it and have not even...

    Love the new design but..........

    Hmmm thats the first time I have seen the Aztec mentiond in the same sentence with style. Body styles change every decade or so. Angular cars dont have that much of a problem with drag or we would all be driving perfect ovals 1 inch off the ground.

    do you like this 05' photoshopped ?

    ElCid2006, what are you smoking??? It looks great. It suppose to have a hand drawn look. Its not "sloppy" at all.
