    What size rims do you want on your '05?

    I have 17's on my Hyundai. I could go with either 17's or 18's on the Mustang. But I think 18" would be best, especially since the overall tire size is so large.

    take out the supercharger and replace with turbo (more)

    You could benefit either way. A turbo has its pros & cons. Turbo lag is the biggest con. But lots of potential for lots of horsepower is the best part. The Eaton supercharger you have on there is a roots-type supercharger which provides a good boost at the low-end while a turbo would not...

    05 with hood up

    It could use a hood kinda like this... A mix between cowl induction and regular forward-facing scoop. And it looks cool. :nice:

    2005 Mustang Spec's

    Even my '97 V6 Mustang had better handling and felt more nimble than my 2,600 pound Hyundai Elantra... that is, until I modified the Elantra. But 3,400 pounds is still good for a Mustang GT cranking out 300 hp.

    Some lovely 2005 Mustang bashing for you guys to comment on...

    One of the best parts about the solid rear axle is that it's strong... very strong. An independent rear suspension setup is sometimes a weak point when you consider the car's horsepower potential. So, when Ford was doing research as they were developing the '05, they asked some devout...

    Mach 1 Comfortable seats?

    Awesome... I hope they carry over the same seats for the '05. It was more comfortable to sit in than all the BMW's and Porsche's at the car show -- and that's saying a lot. But really, I just wanted to drive it. :D

    Mach 1 Comfortable seats?

    Is it just me, or did Ford really get it right when they designed the seats in the Mach 1? I sat in one at the Dallas auto show, and I was impressed. I used to have a '97 Mustang, and it wasn't THAT comfortable. But in the Mach 1, the side bolsters are perfect, and the seats have a really...

    So How Stupid Will GM Feel If....

    A few years ago when the Mustang and Camaro were competing, the Mustang was putting the Camaro to shame in terms of # of sales. More than twice the sales I believe. I think this trend will continue unless Chevrolet really comes up with something amazing for the new Camaro. The GTO is a nice...

    05 V6 power potential

    Yeah, the tranny, brakes, and rear-end weren't designed for the extra power. But I bet they can still handle it. Personally, I'd probably upgrade the clutch and the brakes... but leave the rest. The tranny in my 4 cylinder Hyundai Elantra can support upwards of 400 whp, so it's hard for me to...

    05 V6 power potential

    If you decide the V8 'Stang is too expensive, but you still want similar performance, then I'd suggest turbocharging the 4.0L V6 model. The beauty of a turbo is that under normal driving conditions it is hardly being used. It's a similar effect to power-on-demand. Therefore a turbo'd vehicle...

    05 with hood up

    I don't know, I'm more familiar with MAP so I don't know what to look for other than a wire coming out of the intake... and I do see that.

    05 with hood up

    Ahh... geez, you Mustang guys are so lucky these cars are MAF. So much easier to boost. Now I really want one.

    05 with hood up

    It does look tight. You just might be able to fit a very short 45 degree short ram pipe w/ a cone filter on the end... or use an aftermarket CAI.

    05 with hood up

    Probably not. My understanding is that the car at the show is basically going to be exactly the same as the production model. I don't see what the big deal is though. Black is a neutral color, it doesn't look bad under the hood at all.

    How would the '05 look with a set of these?

    I think they would look good if it wasn't for all that extra black material between the spokes. The Mach 1 wheels are most definitely better looking than that. But... I'd rather just go w/ the optional 18x9" wheels they'll offer for the GT model.

    05 with hood up

    The intake does look a little restrictive because of that bend. But it's still a whole lot better than most cars in stock form -- plus, it looks like it's going to do a good job of pulling in cool air. But a lot of cars will have an elaborate intake resonator & snorkel which is designed to...
