    Radar Detectors Are Now Worthless

    Many specifics around this whole topic will vary from state to state, as laws on how to fight traffic tickets vary significantly. Additionally, some states use "absolute" speed laws, which mean if 65 is posted, 66 is a violation, where others don't. In those situations, you can argue in court...

    Radar Detectors Are Now Worthless

    There are lots of ways to fight it, but you really need more information on what type of radar, etc. he was using. The police are legally required to give you this and other information (model, calibration info and dates, etc.) upon request (even after the fact) and your ticket will be thrown...

    Best Prices on New '08 & '09 GT

    That's definitely high for what you are getting for those specific cars. Stripped down Mustang GTs with nearly no options. Just because I might be selling an Enzo for $15 million, that doesn't mean the price isn't high if I'm the only one selling one. :-) If you are considering a 2008...

    What would you get? 07 Saleen s/c or 07 GT500

    GT500. Saleen is no longer in business. Parts will be harder to come by for any Saleen-specific part issues. If you had any intent on keeping the car stock for any time period, the remaining warranty is most easily executed with the Shelby. Steve Saleen said his new company (SMS) will honor the...

    Iphone 3G Apps

    I think one of the mags did a test on a 0-60 iPhone app and it was actually really accurate. I have Trapster on my Blackberry Storm and I've found not nearly enough people use it for you to rely on it telling you when there is an actual speed trap set up. Every once in a while it will, but...

    2008 Mach 1?

    There is maybe $4k in parts on that car. Looks nice, but where are the rear window slats!?

    New 400 HP Engine for 2010 GT at mid-year

    Keep in mind a large portion of that cost are what I call "fluff" options. Options that are nice, but few people actually order them on their mustang. There is $2k for the glass roof, $2200 for the Nav system and $400 for the rear view camera. 18" wheels are also now standard with 19" as a $1k...

    New 400 HP Engine for 2010 GT at mid-year

    The article on the homepage seems to insinuate its a question between 2011 or 2012. I'd love it if it came out sooner since I'm just about ready to change cars. I had been considering a preowned sporty luxury car, but an earlier release will make my choice a lot easier.

    U3 paint code - 2007 vs. 2008?

    Another possibility - general fade of the paint. Paint will fade as the car gets older, especially if stored outdoors. It is a possibility that this is what happened on yours as well.

    Went to see the 2010 Camaro

    I've seen one driving by a Chevy dealership but didn't stop. The exterior looks pretty good. My buddy works for a major performance parts company and they just recently got a SS in to develop a supercharger package for it. He said the interior is crap and after sitting in mine, he felt like...

    Where do you live?

    I moved away from there about 2 years ago when I graduated college. Had lived there my entire life.

    WOW IM MAD!!!!!!

    I agree on the paint - I haven't noticed some of the issues you mentioned (like seeing the primer), but on my 2000 Mustang, I had it for 7 years and 30k miles of lots of highway driving and when I was on local roads, they were usually pretty sandy since I lived on the beach. I got one stone chip...

    2009 or 2010?

    I'm guessing you'd be buying a GT... You could get great deals on the 2009 without question. The interior of the 2010 is nicer, but I'm not sure if it offsets some of the awkwardness of the exterior. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the bumpers on the 2010.

    Options in trading or selling my '08 GT

    You'll definitely be upside down if you trade in with $21k left. I've been semi-trying to sell mine and I've only been offered $17k for mine as a trade in with 11k miles. I don't really have mods, and usually when you do dealers offer less. I see them listed for $20-$22k private party around...

    How much did you get for trading in your 05-07 mustang gt?

    I've been trying (not so hard) to sell my car, and three dealerships offered me between $16k and $17k before negotiating for my 2008 with 11k miles. I swung by the Ford dealership last weekend just to peek at the 2010's (didn't have any GT's on their lot unlike their ads...) and asked for a...

    Next Upgrade: Headers and Exhaust, Which is Best?

    I don't know Louisiana's rules, but often even when emissions aren't tested, there will still be a visual inspection. You may or may not fail based on the visual showing no cats. Someone from the area can probably give better insight. I think the general consensus is 20-30 rwhp with full...

    V8 Camaro Death Watch Poll

    Well here is the final answer. Car already has a VIN and is slated for delivery in 2 weeks. Looks like it is definitely making it into production...

    V8 Camaro Death Watch Poll

    That's another reason why they killed the Z/28. But at the present time, the government is a little more interested in making them a viable company to help save the economy. They wouldn't force a company they are trying to rescue into cutting a profitable line.
