    What do you make of this car?

    That 2006 Saleen for $46k seems pretty overpriced, although its also modified. A standard S281 S/C'd Saleen puts out 465 hp, and they claim 500 hp plus. The extreme puts out 600+, so we know its not that. The 2008 Saleen S281 RF (not exactly sure what it entails, but its supercharged) has an...

    X-Plan

    Ask your HR if your company has a purchasing program (X-plan) with Ford. Aren't they doing an employee pricing deal right now anyway?

    are 356 miles on a new 08 Mustang from a dealer a lot?

    My car had 8 miles on it when I picked it up. Almost all mainstream production vehicles have around 4-7 miles when unloaded at the dealership. My first mustang had about 120 miles, but the dealership from which I purchased it traded with another and it had to be driven across a couple states.

    StangNet Releases THE Official images of the 2010 Ford Mustang

    Well looks like I'm either keeping my car or trading up to a Vette next summer. I like the interior, but I need to see the nose in person. I'm also very disappointed that for now its only 315 horsepower. An extra 15 horsepower and 5 ft-lbs of torque don't make it worth it to me to buy a new car...

    Remember the Saleen fire sale in August?

    Sorry guys, I don't want the name to get out there unless its more obvious it will happen or I'm told its OK to say something. Based on what I've been told, they only have the cash to operate for between 2 and 4 months.

    Remember the Saleen fire sale in August?

    The performance industry is being hit pretty hard. There will be a pretty big performance parts company (all of you have heard of them, and a decent amount of people on here have their parts) going out of business within the next month or two. The company is nearly out of money and all the...

    Ford News

    Seems like a pretty short run for the 2009s. Didn't they really only start selling them in June? Although I also don't know how long it takes to get from the line to the sales floor.

    Does anyone know how to lower the seat?

    Finally, being short (5'9) is good for something!

    Hood... What gives?

    As everyone else said, its normal. I DON'T have the scoop and it still shakes.

    Does this Logic Justify a Corsa Axleback?

    Chances are unless you move to another 2005-2009 Mustang it won't fit without custom work. Remember this also requires you saving the original exhaust. I think that if you like the sound, then that alone justifies it.

    As always, amazing pics. The 3rd one down (pony reflections in the water beads) is by far the coolest!

    Interested in buying a Mustang

    What insurance company is this? I'm 23 with a perfect driving record and great credit, and I pay about 125/mo for full coverage through Allstate. As a frame of reference regarding insurance, I was paying $99/mo for my 2000 V6 and it only went up $25 for a brand new V8 mustang. I often...

    My Roush Project Car (Pictures Inside)

    Looks great! Just curious... if you are going that custom, why did you start with a Roush rather than a base GT? It seems like a lot of the cost of the Roush was wasted by "undoing" a lot of the Roush mods.

    Hood and window scoops

    The 3M tape is pretty standard for most of the side scoops and is a supplement for many spoliers. They stay attached extremely well.

    how many miles...

    I've never bought a new set of tires because of wear. Although my only other car/mustang was sold with 30k miles on it, and I had replaced the wheels (and subsequently tires) between 5000 and 10000 miles.

    need You guys's HELP!!!

    I don't think 8 PSI will be enough to get you to 550 hp even with the other mods you mentioned. Maybe I'm wrong.

    What is the proper color?

    Saleen at least used to have an option for their own paint colors... if they did repaint it, it wouldn't have been to a Ford factory color - I believe the closest color to Torch Red was called Lizstick (not lipstick) Red or something like that. Is that a possibility for your car?

    New parts installed..... ;)

    So you have trouble getting in your driveway? How does that effect your lip? I only have about an inch clearance on the front bumper pulling into my driveway (I park in the street most of the time since its low traffic dead end, but if there is snow, I need to put it in the driveway). I've been...
