    Why Pass 05 and wait for 06??

    The current news from Ford, is their plan for only a 2007 Cobra coming out in June 2006. :bang:

    Why Pass 05 and wait for 06??

    What chassis ended up being used? I remember that, initially, the S197 was going to share a "lite" version of that common basic chassis. Then there were newer rumors that the engineers just couldn't do it, and meet the required price point for an entry V6 Mustang. Does the actually...

    Why Pass 05 and wait for 06??

    Before I would become interested in IRS, Ford will need to design a much better differential. So far, I have not heard a word about any such project. The problems Cobra owners are finding, is that the differential in use, is very noisey. Before IRS, that didn't matter since little-to-none...

    How to buy a car Dirt Cheap(U.S)

    At an auction, cars sell for exactly what they are worth, no more, no less. :bs: That shinny, brand new, Corvette in perfect condition doesn't actually sell for just $100. :bang:

    Saw the 2005 at Lehigh Auto Show

    Probably the typical Lehigh Valley coal dust. :rolleyes: I bet they completely cleaned the interior just before the show opened that morning. What you see, is what can happen in just a few hours. :(

    Cig lighter and ashtray?

    It will probably just like the current Mustangs; you can buy it though the parts department. Just don't buy one through eBay. :notnice: Anyone can buy the ash tray insert for around $12 at a dealer's. I regularly see them on eBay with bidding starting at $20. :shrug:

    guage cluster color change

    One the list I was referring to, had it listed as an option; not standard equipment on either the V6 nor the GT.

    blue oval news!!! v6 from 20. and limeted edition 50.000

    I thought the Mustang was a pony car. The muscle cars are what were called "intermediate" sized family cars with one freaking big V8 under the hood. Like a Ford Torino with a 429 Cobra Jet, or an Olds Cutlass 442 with a 455. Big, heavy, seats 6 (with the typical front bench seat), and...

    From what has been posted elsewhere, this option is certainly not going to be cheap!

    question about 04 radio

    There is no satellite receiver actually inside the radio. The radio is only set up to accommodate an externally mounted satellite receiver. Ford dealers offer the Sirius receiver, but I am sure that other sources offer XM receivers that are plug compatible.

    need info on "a" plan

    Just have your dad walk into any local, participating, dealer and ID himself as an active Ford employee. The dealer will tell your dad the A-plan price for any eligible Ford vehicle. Plan prices are fixed by Ford, aren't negotiable and don't vary from dealer to dealer. However, don't...

    hood scoop

    There are a constant flow of GT scoop "take offs" on eBay. So, you might be able to easily find one in the right color there. The GT scoop fits onto a regular '96-'02 V6 hood ('03 and '04 V6 models use a different hood (the '99/'01 Cobra hood)). So, it should not be very hard to just drill...

    Why Pass 05 and wait for 06??

    At least from my experience in buying first year models, the biggest incentive to wait, is that some options and features aren't ready for the first "job1", and get introduced the next model year. Basically, the designers run out of time, and can't finish everything they planned and wanted...

    Why Pass 05 and wait for 06??

    Me too. :drool: That will give it two years to work out the kinks, before I buy my next Mustang in 2011.

    Seat Broke Please Help!

    Sorry read about it. :eek: I don't know if it is any comfort, but that is a reoccurring story, and with many other types of cars too. The driver leans back to get out his wallet and SNAP, something in the seat back breaks. :doh:

    AutoMeter elec. oil temp: sender doesn't fit

    13.200 millimetre [mm] equivalent to: 0.51968 inch [in]. 33/64" would be 0.51562" or 13.1mm, the closest I could come up with.

    Emissions are a joke!!! Easy PASS For PA!!!

    It varies depending on where you live in PA. Around here, 1996 and newer get a quick visual to ensure that nothing has been disabled or removed, and a computer based check. 1995 and older get a quick visual and the just gas cap checked. However, if you have less than 5K miles since your...
