    Ford to report record losses?

    It ain't only GT-500s. I was at 3 different Ford dealers over the last week. All 3 of them said the would not sell a Mustang GT on X plan. They said "We're getting full sticker for Mustang GT's" WTF? :bang: Ford had $1,000 rebates on them and the dealers are still pretending that...

    Thinking of selling...

    This is a joke, right? What exactly do you miss about a CRX, that "like I'm riding a skateboard" feeling? :lol:

    Thinking of selling...

    You have backwards logic. We already think that you are sick in the head for trying to sell it. Maybe if you gave us an honest reason we'll change our opinions.

    Ford to report record losses?

    These ADM dealers are their own worst enemy. They are chasing some quick short term easy profits at the expense of putting Ford out of business. Have they thought through what they'll be doing once Ford is gone?

    would this car be ok to buy??....

    Have you tried to buy any of those 05 Mustangs and made the owner or dealer an offer? There are many, many 05 GTs (coupes)sitting on dealer lots with $23K - $25K asking price. But they've been sitting there for many months and are not selling at those prices. One of the local Ford dealers...

    would this car be ok to buy??....

    Ditto, do not buy a flood car. The Ford dealers around me have lots of 05 Mustang GTs with less than 10K miles on them. Asking prices are around $22K, but the are not selling (sitting on their lots for many, many months). You should be able to find a non flood, low mileage used GT for $20K.

    07 Shelby for sticker

    Good to hear that GT-500 prices are beginning to get reasonable. On another Mustang site someone who's family owns a Ford dealer said that they expect GT-500s to typically sell at MSRP by this summer.

    Why buy GT500 over Saleen PJ?????????

    I agree with you elburrito99. I've tried to make this point many times before. Whenever 6,000 of any vehicle are made, it is NOT a collectable, never will appreciate in value. Only 14,368 Shelby Mustangs were built from 1965 to 1970. And the only Shelby Mustangs that command really big...

    Mustang GT vs Nissan 350z

    The top 3 things you can do to a 2005 Mustang to improve road course performance are: #1 Brakes #2 Brakes #3 Brakes It also needs better tires & springs. FRPP handling pack is a good starting point. C&D commented on how much better the Shelby GT-H was on a road course than a stock...

    Mustang GT vs Nissan 350z

    If by "track" you mean drag strip, you're OK. If by "track" you mean road course, you don't have a chance.

    Wanting a little feedback.......

    Well, one can put an aftermarked TC on a 5R55S too and make it even faster. The discussion is really about stock to stock trim. In that case a S197 Mustang with auto is only a couple tenths slower vs the 5 or 6 tenths of a SN95. Plan and simple the extra gear in the 5R55S makes for faster...

    Ford Interceptor concept

    There is a big difference between making a concept car out of existing Mustang hardware and putting into production a 4 door model based directly off the Mustang. I'm sure D2C could be redesigned to make it suitable for larger 4 door vehicles. But by the time it's production ready it will be...

    Ford sells mustang rights to TOYOTA

    Thanks for warning me to NEVER hire your brother's, father-in-law to represent me for anything, because he appears to have his info totally screwed up.

    Ford sells mustang rights to TOYOTA

    Where have you been Rip Van Winkle? Ford has rebates on Mustangs, including the GT. There are rebates on both 2007 models AND left over 2006s that STILL have not sold, even though 2006 production ended 6 months ago.

    04 vs. 05+

    I hate my SN-95. It shakes, it rattles, it rides horribly, the front seats suck, road noise is horrible, etc. etc. Maybe you'd like to buy my SN-95. only 29K miles on it because I can't stand to drive it anymore.

    Wanting a little feedback.......

    I wasn't talking about the strength of the internal parts in the different auto trannies. I was talking about performance of the vehicle, that is acceleration, downshifting, etc. We can argue whether most drivers will be faster with a 5R55S auto or TR3650 manual. But take a step back to a...

    Ford Interceptor Concept... I photoshopped some new colors!

    I'll still take mine in Blue, although the Pewter is a close 2nd. IMHO the other colors are not even close to being as good.

    Ford Interceptor concept

    Thank you. Interesting that Ford's designers knew where the market was going but Ford's screwed up corporate culture prevented Ford from capitalizing on the designer's vision. How different would the automotive world be today if Ford had been able to but something like the 427 into...
