    05 release date?

    The Fox Mustang came to be in 1979 replacing the 74-78 Mustang 11. It was based on the Fairmont platform. That same basic platform is still used although they did make some changes with the SN95 in 1994. Take a look under the '04; it is very much the same set-up as a 1979. The new S197 is...

    Best magazine for the S197?

    I take all of them. Each has good months and bad months. MMFF 5.0SF (5.0 Mustang and Super Ford merged a couple of years ago) M&F (Mustangs and Fords--mostly older iron) MM&FF had the best article on the new S197 (5.0&SF had awful coverage). Would the market support a new rag for the...

    05 release date?

    Job 1 Job 1 is 9-7-04. That is the day the plant will start making the cars. The assembly lines are still making the Fox car. They will need to stop production, install the new tooling, etc. before they start the S197. :shrug:

    Roush Saleen production?

    Thanks :nice: Thanks, exactly what I needed. How many 95R were done by Saleen (I noticed you have one)? Were the other (96-99) S-351 cars made from a 6 cyl. car? The 94 SR? Which one(s) are your favorite?

    Roush Saleen production?

    I've searched the site with no luck. Anyone have the total production (by year and model) of the Saleen? I understand Steve Saleen no longer owns the company? Will this affect future production? Thanks! :nice:

    Prices & Options? Here's your Stink'in Prices & Options

    It seems you have a plan. A couple of questions. Exactly what is the insurance costs of the V-6 vs. V-8? You may need to sell it at some point. What is the difference in the resell of the V-6 vs. the GT? Is there good aftermarket availability of V-6 speed parts? According to a quick...

    05 Mustang info sheet

    It reminds me of the '65 GT350R. The car is gorgeous. 300hp and a 5-speed for 25K.

    Prices & Options? Here's your Stink'in Prices & Options

    I'm not sure why you state that? You can get a 300hp 5-speed for $25K. The options listed don't make the car faster. They make the car heavier and slower. They add to luxury and comfort only. IMO, buying a car is much better than leasing. If you lease you have to return the car as stated...

    302 vs 5.0 ?!?!? HELP!!

    I agree with everything already posted. Is the 1970 302 already rebuilt and running well? I wouldn't put the '94 motor in before rebuilding it. What is your budget? Rebuilding the 94 motor and buying all the new parts to fit the 94 302 into your car may get expensive in the short term. In...

    What's my 4 speed toploader worth?

    I need a toploader when you decide the price. I actually need one for a small block but would consider yours if the price is right. Does it have the mustang-type tail housing? Thanks

    Sorry, I should have asked: Can the 5R55S auto take the additional hp/torque of the 4.6? The 5-speed in the wife's T-Bird is great but the 4.0L is way underpowered. Everyone on this site would probably get the manual anyway? Does the 5-speed auto have aftermarket shift kits, etc.? I...

    Is there a Car Magazine Shortage?

    Ford quoted that they expected the '05 would sell 180,000 up from a 130,000 average. I predict more than the 180K. I saw the MT and HD, and Autoweek articles. Where are the Mustang Mags (MMFF, 50FF, M&F)?? You would think they would know about the '05 :shrug: I think the Hot Rod...

    Prices & Options? Here's your Stink'in Prices & Options

    Good post. All the mags/media are guessing a 26-27K base on the GT. Bill Ford was quoted as saying it would be less than $25K. I thought they said that the 5-speed auto was not ready? Isn't ABS standard on current Fords? I wish they would give us rear gear ratio options. I love the...

    1965 road race Mustang

    The first year of Trans-Am racing was 1966. The Mustang won the championship that year and several more in the years that followed. The sedan was popular since guys thought it was a little lighter. The class was AS (American Sedan). Shelbys ran in BP (B-production) due to it's 2 seat...

    What details have you noticed on the 2005 V8 Stang?

    the '05 9) That is a coilover front suspension. Allows much better handling. reduced weight, ability to corner weight, set ride height, run higher wheel rates. Someone mentioned the 5W20. Ford went to this since it reduced power loss to the oil pump. More power, better MPG. It is a...

    05 GT Base Price of $26,900...

    price Thanks for the link. I agree it is an estimated price. They may make some options standard equipment. Drive out price is the most important number. Sticker, less dealer discount, less rebate (if any), plus tax and title. A friend bought a new '03 Cobra in the fall of 2003 (the...
