    Best way to remove antenna

    The only bad thing MIGHT be that the empty threaded hole might fill with rainwater and the threads MIGHT rust because maybe Ford didn't design it to be directly exposed to the weather.

    06/07 Mustang SVT

    I agree, but how about this scenario: -- Boss version: supercharged "390"-hp, beefed-up rear, not IRS, rear-seat delete, spare tire delete, trunk-mounted battery... with simple mods, easy 500-hp 11-sec street/strip car. -- SVT Cobra: naturally-aspirated 400hp, IRS, etc... blow the GTO into...

    Ford Racing says Supercharger kit is coming!

    I'd still be wary, especially if you plan to race with bigger wheels & stickier tires.

    how easy to remove gt fog lamps?

    Wait a few months. I bet this becomes a common swap for V6 owners. And it should cost you nothing... whoever wants your GT grille/lamps might even have the skills to do the swap for you. Personally, I like the look with the driving lamps. But if you like it without, go for it. Also, unlike my...

    So what is the deal?

    Just got my Nov issue of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords. Nothing about the '05 Stang. No publicity, no shipments...? Certainly seems mysterious. Next up, Blue Oval crop circles?

    The cat err...Charger is out of the bag.

    That's Daimler-Chrysler. 2 years ago I thought Dodge had a winner with the Charger R/T concept car: http://www.acarshow.com/chgcpt.html The Chrysler 300 is a runaway success (at least here in SoCal). So I know DMC has someone in charge willing to take a chance with some style in a 4-door...

    New magazine articles?

    October magazines should have road tests for the new Mustang. But nothing in the Oct MM&FF. Anyone seen anything?

    Cancelled: 05 Mustang order.:(

    C'mon, don't blame the wife. Be honest. Your profile says it all: "GM guy from birth."

    The under 20k Gt really does exist!!!!

    For months I've been following the action over on the CorvetteForum.com. Similar situation to the '05 Stang, only sooner (new '05 vettes are now being built). Some screaming deals on new '04 vettes especially if you're willing to buy out-of-state. Dealers can always find buyers for a great...

    2005 Automatic GT Suppose It's Possible????

    Might also depend on how Ford "tunes" the auto tranny. I expect they will be VERY conservative, for smoother shifts and especially to avoid durability issues during the warranty period. The resulting downside for performance will probably include: -- reduced engine power during upshifts --...

    And now... a completely hypothetical question...

    Ford, if you're listening, the Wish List is simple: More power for '06. More power for '07. More power for '08... Don't care how you do it. Just make more power available at a reasonable price. And a "Drag Pak" with 4.10s, beefed-up rear, rear-seat delete, drag radials, 6-sp... did I...

    2005 Mustang or Subaru WRX STi

    Sounds like you already made up your mind :nice: Nothing like a V8! Good news for bad weather: Engineers took Four '05 Mustangs to Sweden for a couple months this past winter to fine-tune the traction control. Other info I got from a late-April presentation by Ford Engineers (Team Mustang)...

    2003 cobra or 2005 GT=which should i buy?

    You should be able to get a great deal on a used '03/'04 Cobra -- especially after the '05 debuts. For the power, that's what I would do. But find a used Cobra that hasn't been driven hard? For about the same money you will be able to get a never-abused new '05 with a warranty. And if it doesn't...
