    Newer 05 pics and unofficial Cobra info

    I'm guessing 3v 4.6L with twin screw supercharger. Hopfully they will go with a lighter aluminum block

    v6 2005 - Don't Laugh

    The V6 stang with a Cold Air induction and a chip or gears would have no problem beating a new Accord, Remember the Stang maybe down in HP, but it is up by about the same amount in torque stock. The the Japanese make V8 cars, look at a Lexus or infinity. As far as an Accord with a V8, some...

    v6 2005 - Don't Laugh

    So if the Accord had a 260HP-300HP V8 you would buy that over the Mustang too then? I'd still go with the V6 Stang (after an 18" wheel upgrade) RWD = :hail2::flag: FWD = :nonono::notnice:

    Gas Prices

    Super and Premium are usually the same (93). Most stations go = regular(87), Plus (89), Super/Premium (93). Out in Cali Super/Premium is 91 octane. I'm sure someone will ask again, so I might as well say it again. The 2005 Mustang GT will run on 87

    v6 2005 - Don't Laugh

    Once you go V8 you can't go back :D The biggest flaw I see with the V6 is that you can't get the 18" rims :( If you drive a lot and are not that big of a speedfreak than the V6 stang is a good choice. I'd rather see someone drive that than a Civic

    Anyone use manual as daily driver?

    I burn more gas with a manual because I stay in the gear longer so I can hear that beautiful V8 rumble.:D THe only reason some manuals do better on gas is because they have extra gears. That should change in the next few years, more 6 speed autos are coming out, DC even has a 7 speed...

    last Mustang rolled out of Dearborn today

    At least the Mustang "hiatus" will be a lot shorter than the Camaro. SN-95 has been good to us, hopefully the next gen will be even better.

    Anyone use manual as daily driver?

    I have a Manual for a daily driver, somedays I love it some days I hate it. I think my next car is going to be an automatic (hopfully 5 or 6 speed with paddle shifters)

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Lets not forget that the bus stops every 100 yards to let people on and off :mad: :fuss: When I was in College it would take me 90 min. to go to blockbuster and rent a movie round trip on the city bus vs. 15 min. once I got a car. And those are the actual figures, I timed it many times.

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Do you own stock in the Bus/train company or something? Mass tranisit only works efficently in tightly packed cities of over 1 million people, like Montreal or NYC. Opec is raising production, prices should start to drop or at least stabilize http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4943789/

    5 Speed Automatic Transmission

    I'm not happy to hear that, I was hoping the new 5 speed would put Ford back on the automatic performance car map. Maybe it is time to start outsourceing RWD automatic trannies.

    next generation hwy patrol car?

    Many PDs are now using Tahoes. The Magnum would be a good mix of Tahoe, Crown Vic, and Camaro. You get the big RWD V8 Sedan feel of a Crown Vic + The storage and utility of a Tahoe + the HP and speed of a Camaro out of the 340HP Hemi. Plus the Magnum has optional AWD for those places that...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    So you Don't have to shift :D Some people have to deal with heavy stop and go traffic and don't want to ride the clutch all day. In the Camaro, the Automatic was about a dead heat with the manual.

    Which engine you rather have in the next Mach 1/ BOSS?

    Comparing HP/Liter is for Ricers and magazine racers. If you are going to compare HP per liter you need to compare it at the same RPM and also mention compression ratio and mpg Honda engines low tech compared to Chevy. Chevy can get a 3200lbs. with 405HP/400tq to get 28mpg hwy, Honda...
