    New Mustang will finally have some competition...

    So true, so true...

    Competition at the stop lights and on the highways

    Confusing answer! :) How is the T/A still competition yet the Camaro is not? Same chassis, same engine, same tranny. My 2002 Z28 is still plenty fast :) I'd still like a new Mustang, but have to delay the purchase for a while due to external issues...

    New Mustang will finally have some competition...

    True. The new rear-drive platform that would have hosted the rumoured new Camaro has been killed (or at least delayed a long time). There will be no new Camaro for years, if ever. GM is just F***D up overall. The article I read said that GM ****canned the new rear-drive platform to get...

    05GT v. WRX

    No matter how fast it is, you're still driving a Subaru :)

    05GT v. WRX

    I know it comes that way from the factory. It's factory rice. Funny how a 2005 Corvette can do 180+MPH without needing some big, 3 foot tall ricy wing on the back of it. I seriously doubt that spoiler has any real functionality in the real world.

    05GT v. WRX

    That big-ass factory hoop spoiler on the STi just screams "rice" :)

    300hp, eh?

    Yeah, happens to me all the time :) Even though I still have a 2002 Z28, after a while it doesn't see as "fast". However, after a week of driving my 4x4 Colorado, driving the Camaro again feels fast! Also, anytime I take someone for a ride in the Camaro, the first thing they say is...

    Shaker 1000 worth it or not?

    Thanks for the input. Decisions, decisions :)

    Shaker 1000 worth it or not?

    A local dealer has an unclaimed GT coming in within days that I can pick up at MSRP, and I may be tempted to go look at it :) It has the Shaker 1000 stereo in it. Is this really worth the extra $1,000+? If I were ordering the car myself I probably wouldn't get it, but this is a nice red...

    Mustang GT below Sticker!!!

    Probably explains the nonsensical ramblings of the original post :)

    Very Disappointed, Diguisted, etc....

    I had a 2001 Cobra, and the driver side power window went out within 2 weeks of owning the car. In fact, here's a list of the problems I had with that car in the first 12 months... Driver’s electric window broken Body squeak due to faulty welds, Dealer had to use epoxy to stick it back...

    July 2005 Car And Driver

    The GT500 is a nice looking car as well. Have you been anywhere near a 2005 Corvette? IMHO anyway, they are one sweet ride. 400HP, awesome styling, nice interior, well balanced chassis and handling that the Mustang can't come close to (but then again it costs 2x as much). If I end up...

    July 2005 Car And Driver

    I don't doubt that, and the GT500 will probably outperform the Vette in a straight line. I have little doubt that the 'Vette will probably outhandle and outclass the GT500 in almost every other category though. If someone were to offer me the choice between a free GT500 or a C6 Vette, I'd...

    July 2005 Car And Driver

    My guess is at least $10-15,000 over MSRP at first...

    Perhaps. The GT 500 is simply a brute-force car. The Vette is in another league entirely. It is a much more sophisticated sports car than any Mustang will ever be. Not that there's anything wrong though with pure brute force :)

    RX-8 VS 2005 GT What do you think?

    Or a Subaru WRX STi :D

    Just talked to a dealer

    3 letters? :D They're the same thing.

    RX-8 VS 2005 GT What do you think?

    The RX8 is a good handling car, but it's no match for a V8 in raw power. It also redlines at 9,000 RPM - it takes a sec or two to get into its powerband.

    Very Disappointed, Diguisted, etc....

    I know who owns them, but they're not domestics as far as I'm concerned. They're generally not built in the US and not by the UAW like a "true" domestic. They probably also don't have the UAW culture to contend with... Regardless of corporate ownership, SAAB is still a swedish car and Mazda...

    Finally raced my cousins Trans Am

    I should hope so! The LS1 is giving up at least 60HP to one...
