    What about that Boss article?

    Well I guess the CS6 that Shelby puts out is pretty much the same thing as the rumored GT350 mentioned above. How long is Saleen going to make their Parnelli Jones car? I don't think Saleen will still be producing that car whenever Ford is readly to release a Boss (assuming they release...

    ford come back

    Gotcha, I understand your point now. :nice: Thanks for all everyones support too. I wasn't trying to wave my service in anyones face, I just wanted to point out I wasn't defending unions because I was in a union. Thanks again for the support though! I'm positive there are plenty of other...

    what a joke...

    Another thing that makes America so great is our freedom to complain about things. Especially about overpriced cars that we really want.

    Yeah I know I am correct that there are unions in Japan. You are the one who said Japan had NO unions...meaning zero unions. Go ahead and change your argument and say that Japanese unions are different than American ones. It is much better than what you said before. However I still...

    I think there are some gross generalizations in that statement with the only thing to back it up is that you have a friend in the Unions. Schlitz-420 pointed out some false assertions himself. Germany has some very strict labor laws and everything you criticize, but yet they have successful...

    Chrylser has made my decision simple

    Exactly what I am doing. I'm even interested in what the production 2009 Camaro will look like, and what the SS model will offer. I am going to wait until all three are on the market at the same time. However, the run of the GT500 may be over in 2009, and then I will have to figure out...

    4.10 Gears...Again!

    Theoretical top speed, based on math equations, for a Mustang GT with stock tires and 4.10s at 6000 rpm is 174.15 mph. You won't get to 174 without some serious extra power.

    ford come back

    Interesting read. I once read a statement that jokingly referred to American car companies as health care providers which dabble in cars on the side. I guess that is a truer statement than some would like to admit. Some kind of healthcare relief/reform whatever would go along way for Ford...

    Real Review by Actual GT500 Owner

    Good read....Is the interior really that good? From the pictures it doesn't look too much more sophisticated than a regular Mustang GT interior. Either way I am still waiting. For one I can't get one here in Europe until next model year. For two, if I get back to the states, I eventually...

    Chrylser has made my decision simple

    I have seen a few quotes of the Charger SRT8 1/4mile being 13.3 in both Road and Track and Motortrend. And the Charger is an Automatic. Perhaps since the challenger has the 6 speed, they are projecting the 13 flat based on that. :shrug: Not that it matters I guess, it is all magazine...

    ford come back

    I think Ford probably conceptually understands what needs to be done strategically, but I believe their execution is lacking. Which is why I think we are talking about smaller issues. The basic formula for a successful high volume car is simply a reliable quality car, with attractive...

    Mustangs conflict with Mustangs

    To avoid beating a dead horse too much, I will just say that I never said it was impossible to market a GT500 and a special edition at the same time. I just claimed that Ford would need to take it into consideration if they produced a special edition Mustang that was $10,000 less than a...

    Mustangs conflict with Mustangs

    I'm not going to deny that. When I say openly advertise I mean on mainstream commercials and what not. Like the GT500 "Go" commercial with ol' Kelly. They make no mention of tuning, exhaust work, or pulleys. This is my perception of the GT as it was marketed. It was marketed to the...

    What kind of E.T should i expect?

    It also depends on how well you know how to use the 4.10s you have. I've seen people in the mid 14s with 05+ Mustang GT, just because they lacked experience and/or couldn't launch very well. I'd say if you personally can pull sub 2.0 60' times you could break 12s, otherwise low 13s. I see...

    ford come back

    You aren't kidding man. I am stationed in Europe currently and I was blown away when Iby the number of Fords on the road when I got here. I hadn't even heard of the Mondeo until I arrived in Germany. Ford also has a vehicle called the Ka and Fiesta over here, which are really affordable...

    Why do they call it a Cold Air Kit?

    I imagine it is called a cold air kit, because modifications like this have always been referred to as cold air kits. The gains from these "cold air" kits come from the generally larger inlet tube and the filter coupled with a tune. There have been a few posts on this site that say the...

    Ford could have made 500+hp naturally aspirated on the GT500

    Agreed....I was just using that guys logic applied to the LS7 to illustrate how absurd it was. Ford has hidden a lot from us, and they are still even playing around with the idea of that 6.2L hurricane engine. As far as the 6 cylinder 350hp focus with AWD....I haven't seen that here in...

    Mustangs conflict with Mustangs

    I agree many people have unrealistic auto performance expectations, but I think the point is that to have the option of a 5.4L in a GT would be great. I think jlisle01 would accept the fact you had to pay more for a 5.4L option over a 4.6L in the GT. The GTO had a nice LS2 in it, and its 400hp...
