    Would you buy a Mustang LX?

    Ford's not missing anything. The world has changed since 1965. Back in 1965, 1966 Ford sold over 600,000 Mustangs / year. Today the market is much more segmented with many more competitiors (foreign brands). As a result in 2005 Ford sold only 160,000 Mustangs and will probably sell 150,000...

    Mustangs conflict with Mustangs

    GT-H is an aftermarket car. It's a regular Mustang GT that gets modified by Shelby, sort of the way things were done back in 1965 & 1966. You can order all the parts from FRPP & Shelby and make the same modifications to any Mustang GT. Also, it is NOT available for sale to the general public.

    Mustangs conflict with Mustangs

    I have no interest in owning a GT-500. But give me a SE with 400 HP N/A that weighs about the same as a GT and my wallet is open.

    Would you sell this mint 66 Fastback (pics included) for the new GT500?

    I'd wait until GT-500 prices tank. Then and only then, sell your 66 and get a GT-500.

    "HOT off the press "

    How come all these writer "experts" somehow forget that younger people get older and their tastes, desires and their ability to afford a better vehicle all change as they age. Does this idiot actually think that somone who is 20 years old today and drives a Civic is going to want to still be...

    Ford could have made 500+hp naturally aspirated on the GT500

    And how much torqe and at what RPM does that Honda engine have? Why compare to the S2000 engine? Why aren't you comparing to some motorcycle engines that would scale up to 700 HP out of 4.6L? You are either a troll or someone who has zero knowlege of enginering & physics, or maybe both...

    Chrylser has made my decision simple

    You're dreaming if you thing a 400+HP Challenger will sell for the same price as a Mustang GT. 30,000 is[/ limited production. Currently Ford is making 160,000 - 180,000 Mustangs per year. The economies of scale are very different.

    Ford could have made 500+hp naturally aspirated on the GT500

    I just love the way emotion gets substituted on these forums in place of physics and sound engineering. The 5.0 Cammer has a larger bore. You can't simply scale up the Cammer's HPs to a 5.4 which has a smaller bore and much longer stroke. Besides the 5.4 not being able to flow the same...

    4.6 Block difference

    You'll need more than the heads. You'll need the front cam chain cover, cam drive chains, etc. There are also oiling changes in the 05 to handle the VCT. W/O the 05 computer you won't be able to run the VCT, but I imagine for your application you'll be removing the VCT anyway. Unless you...

    [new dodge challenger] sound off!

    The original Challengers and the last generation Barracudas were huge because they were made from shortend Coronet / Satellite unibodies. It was done to save engineering & production $$. As prior posts said, expect the Hemi Charger to be substantially more expensive than a Mustang GT. At...

    Is my dealer full of crap?

    There is a vaild argument against changing your oil too frequently. After you change your oil and then start up the engine for the 1st time after the change, there are a few seconds where the engine is starved for oil as the oil filter fills and the system pressurizes. More engine wear...

    4.6 Block difference

    For starters the 05+ 3V engine uses an aluminum block the old 2V a cast iron block.

    [new dodge challenger] sound off!

    The Mustang has a 107" wheelbase so if the Challenger WB comes in @ 116" we're starting out 9" longer than a Stang. that's large. Add on to that long wheelbase comments made by the Challenger Concept designers that any production version will use the concept's large front & rear overhangs...

    The new owner of an '03 Cobra

    The scoop is that cars are horrible investments. Yes in 30 or 40 years Shelby GT-500s that have been stored away and not driven or those that have been perfectly restored at an insane cost will be worth a bunch of money. Are you planning on waiting that long?

    Deluxe vs. Premium

    The question was about GT models not V6s.

    Deluxe vs. Premium

    Kilmar is correct except the leather seats on the Premium are half leather / half vinyl. Only the seating surfaces of the front seats are leather, the sides and backs are vinyl. The rear seats are all vinyl.

    My color retrofit instructions

    Because options such as the IUP with MyColor are highly profitable for Ford. All manufacurers play the option game as a way to boost profits on the vehicles they sell.

    new member! question?

    Test #'s I've seen stock to stock, .500" valve lift,28" water - CFM: 3V 235 intake, 159 exhaust 99 Cobra 4V 243 intake, 169 exhaust. PI 2V heads 170 intake, 150 exhaust. So, although the 3V heads (stock to stock) aren't quite as good as the 4V, they are a huge improvement over the 2V...

    Looking for info on the 05, 06, and 07 Mustang GT's

    The 07s went into production on June 5. As others have already said, 07s are now sitting on dealer lots.
