    Time to call ford!! The phone #

    I don't buy that arguement one bit, it's more like another excuse from Ford. How come all the other cars sold in this country with 18's and low profile tires have no trouble? Including those sold by Ford? They could at least give us the same 245/45/17's offered on the current car. The skinny...

    "New" Pictures...nothing special

    Ride quality? The Lincoln LS has less wheel well gap, it's mind boggling why Ford after getting a whole new chassis and suspension can't make the car look right. Every other car I see on the road has very little gap between the top of the tire and the fender, heck, most other Fords are better in...

    Do you think that there will be a new Cobra R in the future?

    Sounds good to me...:) So do you know if the new 6.2 is a modular with increased bore centers? I am dying to know how they got the extra cubes and what the new block is based on.. :)

    140mph on the dash??????????

    The governor kicks in at 143mph thanks to the ****ty all season tires they are putting on it. I think it would hit 150 without it, which brings up the question... Why the hell is Ford downgrading the tires from the 04 to the 05? Curent car has a 245 width and 45 series sidewall, 05 GT is 235/55...

    I've been in, driven the 2005-Pics

    Sorry but I strongly disagree, the 05 has perfect shifter location. I sat in it Friday night and rowed through the gears, it is so much better feeling than the current car! Location is spot on. So don't worry people, I'd bet money that the vast majority will be surprised at how well it...

    Some lovely 2005 Mustang bashing for you guys to comment on...

    Seriously, that guy is just another dumb troll, and probably drives one of the Hyundai's he admires..

    IRS poll

    *cough* People... Realize this, this car will NOT ride or handle like a Fox body, not only will it handle much better, it will also RIDE much better due the vastly increased body stiffness, near 50/50 weight distribution, and the superior suspension design. Just think.. What is your...

    Best photoshop I've seen so far

    What's up.. Hope you didn't mind me posting that here, just thought it was an amazing job, and you have good taste too! Could you do one up in a glossy Black? :cool: I'm dying to see what it would look like...

    IRS poll

    I was hoping for a control blade IRS like the one in the Aussie Falcon. It is cheap, light, and works amazingly well, my stock Focus handles incredibly well thanks to the use of it. Hopefully the special editions whether it's a Mach or a Boss will use it. But I wouldn't damn the solid axle...

    Best photoshop I've seen so far

    Thanks, although that looks more like a dark charcoal to me, I was hoping for a nice glossy Black... :) Anyone that could do that for me gets a cookie.. :D

    Best photoshop I've seen so far

    Looks like it won't take much to make this car look amazing. Now if somebody could just photoshop this one Black.. Found it here http://www.focaljet.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB37&Number=866443&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 Hope he doesn't mind me posting it.. :D

    L.A. auto show and the new Mustang?

    I doubt we'll see it here in L.A. until it hits the dealers next September.. We always get screwed here in LA because our auto show is at the same time as Detroit. Every year it's the same old thing, the Ford section of the show looks like a damned Ford dealer, they don't even bring out the...

    '05 Mustang GT HP#'s from MotorTrend

    Well, I never thought it would get that much, but about 325-335 would have been perfect. If the Cobra is getting 500 horsepower you'd think they wouldn't leave a 200 horse gap between the cars.. :shrug: But regardless of power ratings, it's the weight that pisses me off most, I've talked...

    '05 Mustang GT HP#'s from MotorTrend

    Not impressed... better exhaust, VCT, 3 valve heads, LS1 like intake, dual throttle body, etc... It should make that over the 2 valve with just the heads alone... Hopefully it's way under-rated to make up for the weight gain.

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    No, not that they "need" it in the GT, it's just that the 4.6 without a blower isn't enough, in my opinion. And I do believe the new car will gain weight, not lose any. I think it should be optional for those that aren't impressed with a low 14 high 13 second car.. Wouldn't make a bad...

    Latest Chazcron rendering...

    I hate that rear end, looks terrible, nothing like the concept... But anyways, it's a nice render... But, wheels too big???????????????? You mean too small and skinny? I really don't think the next Mustang is gonna be riding on some 195's and 16" rims.. How about the above with some...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    I agree.. I am not impressed one bit with Fords ability to get power out of the modular engines in N/A form. The tight bore spacing which requires the ridiculously small bores and monster stroke to make up for the small bore shrouds the valves and at the same time makes engines like the 5.4...
