    We picked up an 05' GT...my opinion within

    I think you should actually DRIVE the car and then repost. Other than that, I enjoyed your objective commentary.

    05 Stang GT Traction Control

    I doesn't use more fuel and doesn't affect acceleration unless you start to slide or spin,. Then it will limit the power of the car, which would affect acceleration. Essentially, the traction control is always off. It only kicks in when it detects that it is needed. Excessive wheel spin, slide, etc.

    Any ford workers out there?How much time does it take to build a 05 Mustang?

    Well, if they're expecting to build 160,000 Stangs this year, divided by 365 days, that would be 438.35 Mustangs a day. If they have days off, that number would be higher per day then.

    '05 Head/Fog Light Performance

    I have to admit.. I think my 99 GT's headlamps work just great. Can see in the dark and haven't hit anything... good enough for me!

    When to order a Mustang Convertible?

    I ordered my vert a while ago and negotiated a deal of $500 over invoice. There is no reason why you can't order now and negotiate based on invoice and MSRP. When I say invoice and MSRP, I don't mean the numbers; they aren't set yet for the verts. I mean, "I'll only pay $500 over invoice!" or...

    Mustang Website Error

    For those who are not familiar with the colors of the new Mustang, beware: Torch Red and Redfire are reversed on Ford's Mustang website. It is correct in the "Build your Ford" section, but it is not correct in the Flash based site. It is correctly labeled in the Photo Gallery, but not in any of...

    Speed warning?

    I don't think this guys post is BS, as some have stated. But, I also don't think that it is a "speed warning" either. It would be a widespread issue and it seems to be only a few people having it. 351CJ seems to know, as always, what he's talking about here in regards to a very plausible...

    Looking forward to the Vert...

    Answers to a couple of questions posted in here: 1) The new Mustang's suspension is the reverse of the old Stangs. This time, the chassis was designed from the ground up for IRS and the live axle is the retrofit. Pretty safe to say, the SVT will have IRS. 2) There is no rollbar protection...

    Correct! Job 1 is slated for January 31. Expect to see them appear on dealer lots 3 weeks after that.

    05 Hydraulic or Cable Clutch?

    The 2005 mustang is in fact, a hydraulic clutch. And, for those who wish to make the pedal stiffer, there is an adjustment for this. Just requires two small wrenches and adjust the valve on the cylinder. Don't go too far though, you'll lose fluid.

    Yeah... that looks like the standard boiler plate! :-) If anyone wants to email ford about the lightning, here's the email addresses: [email protected], [email protected]

    I understand, and didn't take it derogatory. And, I agree. I'm sure SVT is collecting all this stuff to present to the bean counters to say, "SEE! SEE! You D**k"

    new to mustang and seek advice

    I have own many Fords, and have had 3 Mustang GT's now, 2 Verts. And I am in the same boat. I ordered a 2005 GT Vert, but I am still considering holding off for the Cobra. What I am personally going to do is wait until Feb and see what kind of mods are available for the GT. If there is some...

    Timeline??

    Cobra's are slated to begin production in Summer of 2006 as a 2007 Model Year. Aside from that, there is no details from Ford regarding the Cobra. Roush and Saleen information can be found in their websites. Roush unveiled a hideous (in my opinion) stang in the beginning of Sept. I beleive...
