    Is it true???

    Here is the final definitive explanation of the "posi" thing. It is a tradmarked name, but not by the car manufacturer, but by the manufacturer of the differential unit, Eaton. Positraction, or Limited Slip Limited slip rearends work in exactly the same way, but, they resist this "turning at...

    Is it true???

    Umm, actually, SVTpilot is kinda sorta almost right. It's not GM's trademark, but it IS Eaton's. Eaton positraction units were used almost exclusively on GM products throughout the 60's and 70's, which is why the name "positraction" is so closely associated with GM products. See below from the...

    can any N/A stang keep up with a newer vette?

    I eat C5 vettes for breakfast! If I decide to use the juice, then Z06's start to look rather tasty!

    Maryland?

    I think I have to question your sanity Mike! Why in the hell would you want to be smack in the middle of the middle east with all the **** going on over there? It's one thing as a soldier, it's completely different as a US citizen! Who's gonna be watching your back to keep you safe from the...

    I'm Done

    Some people have nothing better to do than whine to anybody who'll listen to them. Hell, I waited 7 months from the time I ordered my 03 Mach 1 until the day I picked it up, try that on for size, then come talk to me. :rolleyes:

    THE SVT PLAN IT'S OVER...

    Wrong! What do you think, Carrol Shelby builds the cars himself by hand? LOL! He doesn't build these cars himself, anymore than Enzo Ferrari builds his, or Ferdinand Porche builds his! Shelby American, or whatever they call themselves today, will most likely continue to build high performance...

    Safety check turns into joyride for 02 Cobra

    I think he might be referring to the new 2005 GTO's with the 400hp LS2 in them.

    Safety check turns into joyride for 02 Cobra

    Safety check turns into joyride for Cobra Some buttwipe service tech, who happens to be a GTO owner, posted this on a GTO message forum! I feel sorry for the poor unsuspecting Cobra owner who has no idea this clown has been out joyriding in his car! :mad...

    Went to look at 05 Mustang Today...my thoughts pictures...sticker shock

    I saw a real sharp all black 05 GT last night at a local dealer. It was around midnight when I was on the lot, so nobody to bitch to, but they had a "market adjustment" of $3300! I like to crapped right there! They took a 26k and change GT and made it 30K! I'm like WTF, in a couple of months...

    Mach 1 Mach 1 or an 04 cobra

    Yeah, we're all crazy that's why we bought Mach 1's. :rolleyes: Does it ever occur to some people that it's not always about having the most powerful, fastest car in the fleet, but maybe the overall package that is the main selling point? I can line up against 90% of the cars on the road, and...

    Interior plastic disappointment...

    Seems to me, you're going to have to wait until the new cars are a few years old then before making that an absolute statement, aren't you? Fit and finish on this car isn't any better than it was on the previous models. I saw an 05 the other day that the back seat didn't fit flush against the...

    02 GT exhaust same as 03 Mach1 ?

    They are the same, except for the 3" stainless rolled tips on the Mach 1.

    Interior plastic disappointment...

    I don't know about that. My wife and I took an 05 V6 auto for a test drive, and neither one of us thought that the interior was "MILES" over my Mach 1. Matter of fact, I thought it was pretty chintzy when balanced against all the rave revues it's been getting. I tried to give it the benefit of...

    PHP 2005 Dragstang!

    I came across these pictures while shopping on the Pauls High Performance web site! This has got to be the baddast 05 I've seen yet! Enjoy :nice:

    Mach 1 CnL CAI with TB tube...

    Yes I do. If you look at those last two pictures above, you can see the purge line running under the intake tube into the fender, then if you look real close, you can see it attached to the pony's tail in the grill! :D

    SVT RUMOR NOT TRUE!!!!

    If you say so. Started looking through my old catalogs, and damn, there's one from 1983 that clearly says "Ford Racing Parts" There's another one from 1983 that says "Ford Special Vehicle Operations." So how are they the same? The SVO catalog has two cars in it, the SVO Turbo Mustang and the SVO...

    SVT RUMOR NOT TRUE!!!!

    And after the SVT Focus was canned, they came out with....nothing! Now the Lightning is canned, and they came out with.....nothing. Only one rabbit left in the hat! At one point in time, SVT had 3 vehicles available, Focus, Lightning, Cobra. Count the number of vehicles they have available in...

    MACH1 owners..can I get a picture posted please?

    I don't think anyone said it wouldn't work. The Bullitt cluster has the correct redline on the tach for the SOHC GT motor, whereas the Mach 1 has a redline of 6800 for the 32V DOHC motor. I believe the Mach 1 with auto trans has the lower redline on the tach also, but I'm not sure if it's...

    Another cool 05 picture

    That car has so damn much potential built into it, you know the aftermarket people are killing each other just to build stuff for it!!
