    Love the new design but..........

    While over 150 the aerodynamics will start to come into serious play, I suspect that it wouldn't be hard for a company to build a new front grille/bumper/airdam setup that was smoothed out enough to remove that problem. I'm just curious as to how stable the car will be above 170, which was a...

    No sub 20k 2005 V8

    Uhm... I don't believe the $20k V8 rumor anyway. However, I'm going to point out that listing only two models does not exclude a third. Murderers have gotten off on lesser technicalities, so I'd just like to state for the record that you're only inferring there is no $20k V8. Until such time...

    Is there a current vehicle that uses the '05 V-6 4.0?

    It seems slow in the 4200lb Explorer and 4000lb Ranger because it has an extra 800+ to lug around compared with the V6 Mustang!

    How much boost can the new V-8 handle (theoretically)???

    Not sure if somebody said it already, but the way to calculate how much power you gain from boost is this: at 1bar (14.7PSI), you double theoretical horsepower (usually it's 5-10hp lower due to various reasons). So here's the formula: hp ------------- boost/14.7 Running 10PSI...

    Buying a mustang

    The PT Cruiser is a bad example anyway. Anything Chrysler is a bad example, really. I still consider most GM products to be American made, even though many are actually built in Canada. This is simply because Canada is more like the US than anything else, and our economies are closely tied.

    Buying a mustang

    Oh, and I'd get a Ford GT if I had that sort of money. Screw the Vette, Viper, Porsche, etc.

    Buying a mustang

    Two cars? What besides the Mustang fits that category? The GTO is made in Australia.

    Turbo V-6

    I wouldn't mind seeing a return of the Probe, but not at the expense of what made the Mustang great. The Probe was a decently handling FWD import slayer, but I think we won't be seeing a return of that vehicle unfortunately. It sure would be nice to have a proper two-door hatchback with a...

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    Er... a 5.0 DOHC w/ VVT would make WAY more than 350hp. Something closer to 425hp. Of course, for reasons already stated, the likelyhood of ever seeing a 5.0 cammer in a factory car is about as likely as seeing a $15,000 V8 Mustang again. Now, the 351 is possible. IIRC, the V10 prototype...

    Clarification of IRS v. Live

    Well, there's no telling how the new Stang will perform, because there haven't been any tests done independent of Ford. It will definately out-handle the current Mustang. It might actually keep up with an M3 on the track by virtue of having more power, but I think that the M3 will still...

    Let's have some fun...name the special edition varient of the 05.

    You know, both would sell pretty nicely.

    POLL: New GTO

    The Aussies have much more impressive muscle cars than the US will be seeing. Why? Because federal regulations make it awefully hard to squeeze big motors into cars anymore. Power comes at a price here.

    Eleanor

    An Eleanor model would be nice, but it would have to have nitrous and a "Go Baby Go" button on the shift knob. But seriously, though, if they did a Bullit Mustang, I don't see why they couldn't pull of an Eleanor. I'm just hesitant about the idea of a GT-350 or GT-500 remake. If they do the...

    '05: why the 2 piece driveshaft?

    No, as much as I love AWD, the Mustang should never have it.

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    I'm not referring to the specs list I posted. That was just for BOSSJIM to get a reality check for him. I gather from his posts that he's not against a new BOSS, as long as it's true in spirit and execution to the original (am I correct?). But it would seem that this is becoming a personal...

    Problem with new mustang

    Reliability and fuel economy? What're you smoking? The WRX has one of the weakest transmissions ever to see a "performance" car. The EVO and STi have similar real world fuel economy numbers to the Mustang. And the Mustang is in no way competing with these cars for sales. Yes, on the street...

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    I don't see how producing a new BOSS Mustang would take away from the legacy of the original. The notion that producing a new one would do so seems to suggest that we should be calling the new Mustang by a different name (Mustang V?) for fear it would take away from the legacy of the first gen...

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    Uh... please tell me you're just joking. I really thought the average Stangnet reader would be able to connect the dots, but maybe not. My point is that yes there are 4's that can outrun V8's, and yes there are live axles that can outhandle an IRS. Which has the potential for better power...
