    Given Ford's track record....

    Out of the 6 or 7 weeks I had the car, I drove it 4 times. 2 of the four it died while I was away from home. Tow Truck & taxi time. They just couldn;t figure it out. All my gauges would pin to the max and then no more. CPU dead. They couldn;t figure out why the cpu kept going. They even tried...

    Is this right?

    I agree with HairyCanary and blazinspeed. That price not official and some of the specs in there are simply guesstimates.

    Given Ford's track record....

    I'm with you on that! I have preordered Stangs twice in my life, a 94 and a 99, now the third time with the 2005. Knock on some synthetic material claiming to be woods of the forest, I have had no problems... zippo. Ironically though, I power leased a 2004 Mystichrome Cobra Vert about 6-7 weeks...

    Throttle by wire?

    Well put! For the record, just in case there is any confusion as to wether or not the Mustang will be cable or wire; it is indeed a throttle by wire system. There will be no cable in Mustangs anymore.

    Up-to-the-day Stang Info

    You're close, but not correct. The 05 will not be limited production. It will be limited distribution until January 18th. Ford does this EVERY new car launch. They only allow the dealers to have a limited number at first, regardless of dealer size. Reason for this is as the line is just starting...

    1/4 mile vid of 05 Stang GT

    You all have to remeber that these are not production Mustangs. Now, I'm not saying the pre-production Stangs are slow, what I am saying is look at from a logistics and PR standpoint. They ran the car there to get it in front of people, not to race. If they ran the hell out of it and anything...

    Radio controls on the steering wheel????

    The Mustang will not have audio controls on the steering wheel. The ironic thing is that the deck has a "Control In" port on it. Looks similar to a parallel port on a PC, but smaller. This port is exactly for that reason. Probably because Ford uses the same components on many vehicle and this...

    Delay Speculation

    I have noticed in all recent communiques from Ford that they are now indicating a "Late Fall" release of the 2005 Mustang. Originally, they stated a fall release. The Mustang website, however, still says "Coming Fall 2004," but I am beginning to wonder when they will actually hit dealer lots...

    ford should show pics

    Job one is what, 49 days away? They should have the 05 Mustang on the main page by now. I suspect they will put it there the day they start building.

    It's Official!

    Some will argue that those scoops are functional because they do go all the way through and channel air to the tire. Not that you would want the tire cooled, it adversely affects performance... but I guarantee someone will say they are functional just because they go all the way through, not...

    Tuning with the vct...

    Like I had said a while back in a similar thread: The aftermarket parts industry is a billion dollar a year industry. While I don't know the percentage of that billion that is performance accessories, I would tend to think it is at least 20%. I think the things being discussed above are...
