    anyone bought a used 05 GT yet?

    Either. Just curious. Obviosly the demand is still high and the cars are holding their value pretty well. I'm gonna have to wait a few more years before the values start to drop and I can justify it. I know some people that got some really sick deals on year old SN95s (this was before the S197...

    Dear Ford - - -

    Same for my old Plymouth, cept I added disc brakes so I can actually stop now... Still, I'm guessing your 65 doesn't have a lame prop rod for the hood. :rlaugh:

    How many miles, what options, and what did you pay?

    Fit and Finish - How's your's holding up?

    Agreed. I don't care how nice the interior is on some FWD econobox cause I'd never even consider owning one. Let's keep the comparisons to other performance oriented RWD cars with similar power and style at the same price. Oh wait...there aren't any. :rlaugh:

    Convertible Roll Bar?

    Well, Ford has a history of being stupid and cheap when it comes to safety--from the Pinto the the Explorer. So what do you guys think? Any good way to get this feedback to Ford? Sounds like it's kind of a deal-killer for several of us on the vert.

    Convertible Roll Bar?

    Yeah, Mazda is refusing to call the hoops in the new MX-5 (Miata) roll bars for this very reason. But like I said, Ford-owned Volvo has had 'em for years and they're really not that complicated.

    Convertible Roll Bar?

    I agree, Ford should make the pop-up rollbar an option. Pretty lame that they don't. Heck, they own Volvo, so it's not like they don't have acess to the technology. The problem with a bolt in rollbar is you (or your rear passengers) could bash your head on it in a front or side impact. On the...

    How important is the interior color to you?

    It has to be black. Grey is for econoboxes and family haulers and tan only works in high end Britsh and Italian cars with nice leather IMO.

    Are fewer people coming to the forums?

    What???? Hope that thing holds together for you. I've heard nothing but horror stories about those... Right now I'm mostly lurking to see what kind of things are breaking--so far it doesn't really sound that bad. I'm interested in people who are flogging the hell out of their cars and trying...

    2008 Bullit..?

    I don't care what they do as long as they bring back Dark Highland Green.

    Do wheels make or break a car?

    You're confusing art with bling.

    Pics of my '06 Mustang GT Deluxe

    The Mustang looks perfect--the wheels, stance, spolier delete. Very nice. The 3 series is nice, too, but ultimately the two cars are two similar for my tastes, and I'd have a hard time stomaching that much depreciation at one time. I'd use the Mustang as the daily driver and get something a...

    first year SN95 vert with reinforced windshield?

    Is it reinforced on your 99?

    first year SN95 vert with reinforced windshield?

    Did Ford reinforce the windshield on the SN95 to make it safer in a rollover? What year did they first do this? Anyone know? Thanks.

    Pics of crashed to crap '05 Mustang GT

    Actually, I think the back seat of the Mustang would be pretty safe. The two back seats are more inboard than the typical three seat bench in back of most cars so the kid is more inside and also protected by the wheels and lack of some flimsy door on side impact. Plus the new Mustang has a big...

    typical AOD rebuild cost?

    1100 parts and labor for a solid tranny? I think I can stomach that. When it starts getting into 1500+ range I start getting worried. I'll probably hold out for a 5 speed but if I come across a really nice one with an auto I'd be tempted. The 5.0 I drove with a stock AOD felt horrible--engine...

    typical AOD rebuild cost?

    Hmmm. How cheap? And what do you need to do to be able to drop one in?
