    2008 bringing us the Boss & the Bullitt

    Well the Bullitt was mentioned by Ford Execs during a "way ahead" presentation, but nothing about a Boss was mentioned, except that they would release other special editions each year following the Bullitt So it might be Bullitt in 2007, and a Boss in 2008. Also, the last time I heard, the...

    2008 bringing us the Boss & the Bullitt

    There was some debate a while back about what a 400 hp Boss or Mach 1 would be like in the market, and many felt it would cut into the sales of the GT500 because of its potential performance. I think this might be a sign they were right. Consider the performance offering of a "stripped down"...

    C6ZO6

    I don't recall ever seeing that happen myself, but I certainly understand how selecting too low of a gear is a bad idea too.

    C6ZO6

    I have seen some people completely botch racing from a roll too. People that mess up racing from a roll usually make the mistake of not selecting the proper gear. For example, someone cruising along at 55 mph in 5th and only downshifting into 4th before running. Or there are others who are...

    Comp cams Stage 2 and 3 questions

    I'm not sure, but it seems you are taking what I said personally. I think my statement/question is valid. I believe I understand what you are saying and I certainly understand the whole HP=(torque*rpm)/5252 equation. I just don't see why a cam alone presents any more stress on the rods...

    Comp cams Stage 2 and 3 questions

    Installing heads, cams, forged crank, rods, and pistons is going to seriously flay your wallet unless you are rich. The cost of labor alone will be huge.....but if you want to eventually run a super charger up to 650 hp you will need the forged internals.

    Stock shifter bushing???

    What are you bringing the car in for? I am curious to know why the dealer would be looking at that area close enough to notice a difference in the bushings on your otherwise stock shifter.

    Comp cams Stage 2 and 3 questions

    While I agree with the principles that you are talking about, I don't know that a cam adds enough torque in the upper rpm range to significantly threaten the longevity of the rods. There are many people safely running power adders on the stock rotating assembly. And just about any...

    WTF is the Deal with Clarkson

    I will still say that stock for stock a mustang will take a 350Z at the drag strip. The argument always changes when driver skill is brought into the equation. Variations in driver skill is always a given. A good driver in a Mustang GT can outpilot an average driver in the 350Z at the road...

    Trying to purchase a GT500 for MSRP

    Very true. The Roush mustangs and Saleen Mustangs will probably be just as collectible and/or rare in the future. Not to mention that the Roush and Saleen Mustangs have more of the original flavor or the Shelbys in the 60s and 70s and the contemporary Shelby GT-H and the Shelby GT.

    Trying to purchase a GT500 for MSRP

    If all else fails, there will be used ones on the market in a few years, when some of the people with too much money decide they need the next new hot toy.

    4:10 questions

    I forgot to bring my Xcal2 with me when a buddy installed my 4.10s and drove 2 hours home with out adjusting the speedometer and no problems. After adjusting my speedo, I run about 2800 rpm @ 80 mph and still can get 23.3 mpg on the highway. 70mph should run around 2400-2500 rpm

    Boss302

    Yeah the only special edition that has Ford has specifically mentioned was the Bullitt for 2008. I hope whatever they do to massage 350 horse out of the facelift in 2009 will be compatible with the 05-08 Mustangs. Kinda like the PI heads and intake were for the SN95

    WTF is the Deal with Clarkson

    Exactly! This 350Z/Mustang GT debate has been going on for a long time now. If anyone hasn't been paying attention, the majority consensus by far is the Mustang is faster in the 1/4mile and the 350Z is faster on a road course. There was even a thread where I guy who owned BOTH cars agreed...

    Clarkson rants on Americans and Mustang

    I think you missunderstand me LuS1fer, I wasn't making any attempt to dog on the UK, I was merely rebutting a few of the more stereotypical statements you made about the US. I think I have been more than fair in highlighting what I do and do not know, in fact I made no claim about the UK...

    Clarkson rants on Americans and Mustang

    I would like to point out that many Europeans in fact want to move to the United States. I won't speak for our friends in the UK, but it isn't uncommon for German and Italian women to marry American soldiers for the sake of moving to the United States. So certainly there is a population that...

    ?????...3 MONTH SERVICE MAINTENENCE....??????

    I usually perfer to do things like that myself as well, but I usually take it in at all the recommended mileage just so I can keep records, and prove it is "dealer maintained" if/when I decide to sell it in the future.

    Headers for cheap....

    I see you are from Cali also, actually not all that far from Modesto. Anyway I know Longtubes won't pass smog in CA, but I don't understand why. If you are still running catalytic converters shouldn't that still allow the car to pass the sniffer test? What are you planning on doing when you...

    Ford Racing CMVC Delete under $100

    Are you saying you had better low end torque with the Bama tune? And when you say you didn't have the SOTP feeling do you mean when compared to the stock plates? I'm just wondering because I noticed no bottom end loss whatsoever after I installed the plates, but I've also been running just...

    Clarkson rants on Americans and Mustang

    You have to import a Mustang to the UK correct? Here in Germany, folks have to import Mustangs if they want them since Ford of Europe doesn't sell them. Or they buy them from Americans like me. Also, when I tell my German friends that I paid the equivalent of about 20,000 Euro back in the...
