    05 Stang vs new GTO?

    While the gto is bland, it really is a blast to drive. I drove one for a while, and even if the mach 1 can outperform it, the gto has Independant Rear Suspension. So they have different takes to motoring. Where the 05gt/mach are def gt cars, they are more oriented to the strip than the open...

    Why no 6 speed love?

    Become like the rest of the lemmings...WOW. With the money that ford is already saving on giving us an archaic suspension, (on the upcoming 05), I bet they coulda thrown in a t-56. Sure a 5 speed will do the job for three hundred horsepower, but encroach on 400, like the svt, and you will need...

    Why no 6 speed love?

    Well I used to say all you need is 5 gears until my started driving my freinds ram air ws6 and realized he gets better gas mileage than my saleen with LESS POWER, and we have similar rear gears. OH yeah and the fact the ford 5 SPEEDS SUCK ARSE. The one in my Saleen went at a wonderful 15k...

    Roush need more power in my 281SC, what to do?...

    Well not sure what you are dynoing right now, but I have a 99 s/c which uses a somewhat inferior eaton M90, where as you have the M112. These are my numbers. I have 308rwhp and basically 380rwtq. I have the pulley upgrade which did not net me as much Hp as i was expecting, something like 10...

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

    The 95-03 maximas basically had a live axle setup as well, and they were FWD. If i am not mistaken, the sentra spec V even has the same setup. Two old roomates of mine have these exact cars, and underneath are just one big rectangular type bar connecting the shocks/struts (whatever). So the...

    05 with hood up

    The battery location is finally where it needs to be. As far from the front tires as possible. My sisters 300z has it in that same place as do many other cars. Less weight over the front end is good.

    Ford GT Ebay Prices

    Thats true about the modena. My sister dated a guy that already had 2 ferraris and wanted a modena at msrp and he was told he would still have to wait as long as the first time buyers. He was pretty pissed to say the least. BTW great name SHATNER. I assume the refers to the pool incident?

    Ford GT Ebay Prices

    Apparently MSRP is $139,000. But we all knew that no one will ever sell them for that price. Big shocker on the $200+ tag though. People will pay in upwards of 250 for a lamborghini that wont even outperform the GT. So don't be suprised if any reach $300 grand.

    05 Leather

    Iwantmynewgt: I am pretty familiar with the katzkins stuff cause a lot of people here in Atlanta use it. Its pretty good stuff. But what you gotta look out for is who installs and how tight their finish is. Lotsa places here in atlanta do it and its real loose and shortly starts to get...

    05 Leather

    My full time job is interior repair, and I have seen everything that is out there. I do not replace, i restore or repair leather, cloth what have you. Yeah the American leather does typically suck. But today i had to repair the red leather on a 03 m3 convertible with barely 20k on the...

    06 Cobra vs 06 Saleen

    As an owner of a Saleen I will have to disagree with some of whats been stated already. Though I am a very disgruntled SALEEN owner, I feel I have good insight into this. First off, I will just mention a few general things I have noticed about the Saleen compared to other mustangs, especially...

    2005 Blower?s

    I would have to say Vortech. They are always on top of their game, and have usually been first with all the mustangs since the mid nineties. Problem with the KB's will be that new intake seems much more difficult to make a roots type blower out of. Its very LS1 like, and as with those cars...

    Atlanta International Auto Show

    When i was like 5 my dad worked for neal pope here in atlanta and he worked the show. I got to meet lee Iacoca and got to sit in the testarossa, and at that age, it was the biggest thrill of my life. I too have literally been to it every year, and it seems to get worse a little each time
