    I agree, HIDs a must for me on any new vehicle we purchase. I have HIDs on my 06 Lincoln LS. My previous 03 LS did not have HIDs., big mistake not getting HIDs on my 03 LS/ The HIDs on the 06 LS are significantly better than the standard halogens. The HID's on my wife's Murano are fantastic...

    Any 2005 GT's for under 20,000??

    Prices are insane where I am. Dealers are still asking $24K - $25K for used 05 coupes. Private sales are rare. But the same used 05 Stangs seem to sit on the dealer lots a long, long time waiting for some sucker to come along. These high priced used 05s don't have much for options either...

    Several pics from the Car of Tomorrow race at Bristol this past Sunday

    Where you been Jen? Yes I'm a NASCRAP fan of yesterday. I used to be an addict, but haven't watched a race in a couple years. NASCAR has become like pro wrestling, all sound and fury signifying nothing. LCD as they say. Yes, I've moved on ALMS & SCCA. I can't even take the France...

    Several pics from the Car of Tomorrow race at Bristol this past Sunday

    On the first part, "common templates" they get an A+, all the cars look exactly alike. In the 2nd part " distinguish the brands " they geat and F-, it's now nearly impossible to tell one "brand" from any of the others. Time for NASCAR to nuke everything and start over with real production...

    Ford brakes stink (especially when they're on FIRE!!!!!

    Ford needs to offer a factory big brake option like Nissan does with the 350Z.

    It's additional interior lighting, possibly by LEDs under the dash, in the cup holders and maybe other places.

    No more cashback incentives?

    The incentives shown of Ford's website are often incorrect, which can be very frustrating. The correct incentives will always be shown on Ford's Vincent system at the dealers. The only problem is that you have to ask the dealer and then are dependent on them being honest with you, and you...

    cut off date for 2007 mustang orders

    I don't know the exact 07 Mustang order cutoff date, but I'd guess it will be Friday April 13 because the 08 order banks open on Monday April 16. Job 1 date for the 08 is Monday June 25. At this point I'd get an 08 as it will only take about 1 month longer to get one and it will be a model...

    Midlife crisis???

    The S-197 Mustang seems to be very polarizing. Millions of people appear to like if not love the S-197. On the other hand many, many people, for whatever reason appear to be very hostile to the S-197. Maybe it's just old fashioned jealosy.

    How to go about Special Ordering??

    Any Ford dealer should be happy to order you the Mustang you want. It's a high profit sale for them. First you walk in knowing exactly what you want, they don't have to sell you anything. Second, they have no carrying cost on your car because they know the day it arrives it's sold. The...

    Future of the Mustang Survey from Ford

    I must have missed the place in the survey were Ford said the next Mustang will be a small, FWD hatchback.

    Future of the Mustang Survey from Ford

    The Mustang platform has virtually nothing in common with the Jag S-type. The Jag's all aluminum and very expensive IRS will not drop in a Mustang.

    Future of the Mustang Survey from Ford

    In the auto industry today, if you are standing still, in reality you are moving backwards and loosing ground to the competition. The S-197 Mustang is already starting to show its age and by 2010 will be in bad need of an update.

    Future of the Mustang Survey from Ford

    Bingo! Unfortunately I feel the survey was to figure out if V6 TT would fly instead of a V8. Ford needs to offer both a more powerful V8 and a TT V6. On the first question, would you prefer 370 HP with 17/23 or 19/25, of course I picked the 19/25/ On the second question where they...

    Future of the Mustang Survey from Ford

    Here's what I put. I'm not intersted in a stripper model: #1. Independent rear suspension #2. 350+ HP normally aspirated V8 #3. Better brakes, even if optional #4. Hidden radio antenna #5. HID headlamps #6. Adaptive headlamps #7. Power Driver's seat memory #8. Adjustable pedals #9...

    important...how much will it handle?

    The problem is not bending a rod, but breaking a rod and sending the resulting schrapnel through the side of the block.
