    Variant of the 2005 Mustang to be unveiled?

    I am betting a convertible, but would sign up REAL QUICK if it were a stripped down LX type car that came in about 3300 lbs, and $25K or less. Sir Hacksalot

    What's the perfect rear axle ratio?

    I was planning on 4.10's regardless:lol: Hax

    '05 Mustang: Pros & Cons

    First off, thanks for your service. I have family and friends in harms way right now, and my hat is off to you and your comrades. There really is not much known about how the new 2005 will handle. I imagine like every other mustang, it will be good, but can use improving. If you opt for...

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    I guess that's why Steeda's live axled Mustangs dominate the 24 hours of daytona and sebring in their classes, and kick the crap out of everyone else in SCCA and other road type events, and how a Maximum Motorsports equipped fox bodied stang whipped up on everything including a full race prepped...

    Wheels

    I am not worried, I would either be putting some 18" Halibrand III's or Edelbrock 454's on it anyway. Sir Hacksalot

    The Complaint Department

    I think you are right...even the 'vaunted' K Code Hi Po 289 was 271 HP, and those engine ratings were gross, not net like they are now. I had this debate with someone else in here, and the fastest of the fast 'stock' mustangs ran high 13's. Hax

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    Bob, you are as sick as I am. It's nice to know that I am not the only person that looked at the IRS and said, Hmmmm, that needs to go. :lol: Hax

    Exhaust--Whatcha gonna do?

    These would be my plans: Bassani Mid length headers (if they are available, or will fit) Bassani OR X Pipe 2 Chamber flow masters with turn downs New rear bumper that does not have the cutouts in it for the tail pipes. EDIT: read about a custom setup, and that makes sense too. Sir...

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    You know, I read all the pissing and moaning about a lack of IRS on the stang, and I just don't get it. From a performance aspect...almost every serious race mustang I see has a live axle in it. Bob Cosby yanked the IRS from his Cobra because he was breaking half shafts, some crippled lady...

    After Market

    Hopefully, it will be quicker than development of parts for the 1996-2004 mod motor cars, and I am not talking about body kits, wings, and other such crap. I imagine that people have figured that the mod motor is here to stay, so hopefully we will see some intakes, heads, cams, and other...

    Thinking of getting the new Mustang.

    Look, You can argue all day long about the ravages of boost on a stock car, but unless the thing is designed for boost, whether it has forged internals or not, you are running the risk of ruining your motor. It's all about not being greedy with these things. There are guys running...

    Logical decisions...

    Dude, just be patient. When the Mach I's came out, they were stickered at $29K or so. The two ford dealerships in Des Moines recently had them on sale for $23.5K...a HELL of bargain IMHO. When the new GT hits the market, they will be hot hot hot, and will go above sticker, yada, yada...

    An intresting article on the 05 in the Winnipeg Free Press.

    Count me in the 30% that will drag race. I am probably one of the psycho's that will end up buying a used 03 Cobra, and in the end, yanking the IRS to put in an 8.8 or 9" with some gears! I think we all just need to be patient...I think the IRS will show up as an option, also, we really...

    And how would you like that...?

    I don't care what the gear ratio is, or what the rims/tires are as I plan on changing them anyway. 4.10's, and some smooth 18" Halibrand III in the matte finish for me. As for options, I definitely want a 5 speed. I would like mine to be all black with black leather interior. Then I...

    Made a poster

    That is great...even better would be if you could fit a couple of badges/logos in front of the stang, such as Subaru's logo, honda, Mitsu, GTO, etc. Even though some of those cars could still whoop a stock 05...it would get the message across. Hax

    '05 aftermarket/mod speculations in here

    I imagine a Pro50, Triax, Kirban shifter won't be too long in the making...those will be out quickly. If I were buying one of these things tomorrow, the first few things I would do would be gears, exhaust, shifter, and maybe work out some sort of home made induction kit. If it is a sub-frame...

    Dilemma...what to buy? 2005GT vs. used 03 Cobra?

    You sort of summed it up exactly as I see it. Especially this part... :lol: Hax
