    My advice would be to get an '08 Bullitt Mustang instead of the GT then. You'll find some "get up and go" in that sucker.

    omg...It's HIDEOUS!

    I can't understand why you would purchase an automobile that is "cheap" and "hideous" on the inside. If I don't like the looks of something (much less $20k-plus on an automobile), I don't buy it. That's a helluva lot of money to spend on something that you only kinda like. Isn't it?

    Yeah it's hard to tell exactly what Ford will do until they actually build the things. Remember a couple years ago they said they'd be putting the Hurricane V8 in the Mustang but later recanted. That would have been a sweet motor.

    Ranger... Are you sure you're not talking about Brazil making a large oil find recently? I haven't heard about a discovery in Colombia. I agree. There are a lot of places we can drill for oil, but environmentalists are against it and it screws everyone. We should be extracting oil from...

    Gas Prices

    A couple things... 1) How much does it cost roughly to convert a gasoline engine to E85? 2) Where do you find gas stations that sell E85?

    Gas Prices

    Truer words have rarely been spoken. The oil execs' JOB is to maximize profit for the company and its shareholders. As long as we are in a capitalistic environment, this will continue to happen and the profits will continue to grow. Good for capitalism... bad for consumers, though.

    Gas Prices

    One of the biggest troubles I see is the nation's healthcare system. I cannot believe how much doctors and hospitals charge these days. $20 for 2 tylenol, when I was in the hospital 1 1/2 years ago. You gotta be kidding me!! My total cost was about $10,000 and I stayed for just one night and...

    Post pics of atermarket tailights installed

    Tell me about it man! I was halfway into installing my headlights when I learned that I needed to pull the bumper. It was a massive pain in the ass! I was seriously frightened when I saw my new car there in the garage with no bumper, no grille and no headlights. looked like it had been...

    Metroplex... The manufacturer is IPCW... and they weren't cheap (unfortunately). About $300... but the installation was about as easy as I've ever seen. Total of 15 mins for both lights. But the LEDs are great. One of my favorite mods so far. http://www.lightlens.com/ford.htm

    2010 stang in car and driver!

    I agree with 06 stang... I don't really dig it. The headlights are worse than the current model... and the pony emblem on the grille aint great. Fords gotta do better.

    Return of the 5.0 Mustang

    I'm not sold on this. I think the oil companies have higher margins than average corps.

    Problems at the pumps

    I've noticed that that happens occasionally to me... but it is actually the fuel gauge that doesn't register the full tank for a while.

    So...what you gettin with your stimulus check?

    I would like to get a dual exhaust but I doubt the wife will go for it.

    Well done. The GT500 spoiler is great. I love mine.

    Return of the 5.0 Mustang

    I couldn't disagree more. That argument is like saying gasoline won't run out someday.

    Your '04 wasn't an S197.

    new car delima

    I love both of the cars you are considering... but in the end I would get the Shelby. It's just a classic in name and performance. I think they are much more distinguishable than the Bullitt. You get the shelby name on the car... the plaque on the dash... the whole nine. Not to mention some...

    Are you kidding me? I've never seen a Bullitt that expensive.
