    300 coupe and vert

    Charger is said to be a suiside door coupe like the Saturn Ion and RX8. Making a 2 door coupe is a possibility. Don't forget the Charger and Magnum are taking over for the Intrepid.

    C6 cheaper than C5!!!, will this help keep 07 Cobra prices down?

    That is true, on the C5 it was $900 for the M6 on the C6 is it free :D even the automatic C6 is cheaper but only buy $390. Most cars go up by 2% a year just due to infalation, so it is pretty remarkable that they can make the car more powerful, lighter, add HIDs, and a number of other...

    C6 cheaper than C5!!!, will this help keep 07 Cobra prices down?

    My friend bought his 2003 Cobra the first month they were out and he paid sticker, people were paying sticker for the Z06 when that came out too.

    Mustang SE - you will want to look at this

    Lots of rumors going around, I thought the Ford GT engine in the next Cobra idea was dead :shrug: The latest rumor that came out of SVT was that they were trying for a 400HP+ N/A engine. Who knows it is still over 2 years away and SVT has so many engine choices anything could happen.

    http://autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat_code=carnews&loc_code=index&content_code=09324469 The 400HP C6 Vette will be $1,305 cheaper than the 2004 C5 with manual tranny. Hopfully the SVT team relizes that if they give the Cobra base Vette performance, they still can't give...

    Anyone heard of the "6.2 Hurricane" V8?

    Yup, old news, we had a thread in here about the 6.2L over a month ago http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=467950 Seems like this 6.2L V8 will have a lot of overlap with the new 355HP/450tq 3v 6.8L V10 in the Ford trucks. The V10 is only a $600 option over the 5.4L in the F-250, I...

    And now... a completely hypothetical question...

    I blame the poor cougar sales of lack of support by Ford and a weak powertrain lineup. This car sould have owned the sport compact segment. unfortunatly a lot of 4 cyls put out more HP than the couger V6 :( . SVT should have done a cougar instead of a Focus. Ford could have made the SVT...

    2005 Mustang or Subaru WRX STi

    STI sucks in the snow, unless you put on 4 snow tires. Mustang GT will be about $6,000 cheaper. For $32K the STI doesn't even come with a radio :( that is a $600 dealer installed option. Performance wise both should be about the same. STI has the advantage of 5000rpm clutch drop luanchs...

    we gotta wait 2 years for a cobra??

    The are putting all SVT resources into the Ford GT. If it wasn't for that car the new lightning would be out now and the Cobra would probably be out next spring/summer Yup,, and the Z51 C6 will probably be faster than the current Z06. Base price is going yup $1000 (which is on par with...

    we gotta wait 2 years for a cobra??

    Latest "rumor" is 400HP+ N/A V8 for the Cobra. Since it is still 2+years out things could change. 2004 to 2007 is too big of a gap IMO, but not as bad as 2002-2007 like the Camaro at least there will be a 400HP GTO and 425HP Hemi 6.1L Charger to fight off the Imports until then.:nice:

    isnt 1st year of new model a wait & see??

    1st yr.< 2nd < 3rd < 4th........etc. You can wait for ever if you always need that slightly better car. 1st year cars arn't as bad as they once were. I'd get a first year but I'd probably wait 4-6 months, that way they can get those first shippment bugs out and the prices will drop a...

    Power Outlet In New Mustang

    Yup, so is the Viper. Wow, I can't beleive the hate for Chrysler around here, you guys are rough. You guys are almost as bad as the Ricer crowd. :D ;) Glad too see the new Stang has more than 1 power outlet. Has anyone seen the 110 volt outlet on the Vibe and Matrix. I thought that was...

    wtf is car and driver smoking

    Yup, the V6 should be a mid 15's car. The new Stangs are a bit bigger and heavier. The 2005 Mustang GT curb weight is 3475, the old mustang GT is just under 3400

    wtf is car and driver smoking

    VERY VERY conservative estimates. THe current 260HP GT runs 13.9-14.1 I expect the extra 40HP should put the new GT in the 13.6-13.7 range.

    Sunroof

    I'd love for the Stang to have some sort of open air roof on the Coupe, Targa Top is my first choice but a moon/sun roof would be cool

    Wheels and Tires

    The V6 Mustang gets 215/65R16. 65 seires tires DON'T belong on a sports coupe.

    Buy a V6 or V8???

    V8!!!!!!!!! The GT will be about $3000 more than the V6 when equally equiped. It will cost you at least $3000+ to make the V6 300HP plus you won't have the factory warranty or reliability anymore. GT is also better b/c it comes with a beefed up tranny and rearend to handle the extra power...

    The interior...

    That is interesting, reminds me of the Stealth/3000GT interior, I'd say the final design is better too. I hate how new cars that would be perfect for Summer come out in the cold months. '03 Cobra, XLR, SRT-10 and GTO all came out in the fall/winter months :(
