    First Road Trip, a Couple of Issues

    A few years ago C&D tested the speedos on ~20 cars from different manufacturers. EVERY one of them read high (car going slower than speedo indicates). All the Fords they tested were pretty consistant @ 2 MPH high. Most GMs were 3 - 4 high and most imports were 3 - 5 high. They checked with...

    That has to be one of the dumbest web sites I've ever seeen.

    Used GT prices are ridiculous....

    :bang: Simple solution to your problem. If you don't think an 07 Mustang GT is worth what they are selling for, don't buy one. :doh: Being "affordable" does not make a car great. 99 - 04 Mustangs sold for less than 05 - 07 Mustangs because they aren't worth as much. The old Mustang...

    GT-500 = Boat

    You missed my point. What I was saying was that Chrysler sells 100,000+ 300s per year. The 300C SRT 8 is just a 300 with some parts added on. The Challenger will be much lower volume, most likely less than 30,000 / year and it will be sold for fewer years than the 300. That means to...

    Used GT prices are ridiculous....

    First, it sounds like you need to find a new job. In my younger years I went through many jobs before I got a job at a company that paid me what I was worth. Life's not a free ride. If you want to make it you have to get out and hussle to find a good opportunity. Second, the price of the...

    you guys seen latest November Road & Track?

    That is NOT the next generation Mustang. Look inside and there is a credit to the studio that did the photo chop. Reliable sources say the 2010 Mustang (delayed from 09) is going to have hips. I do not see any hips on that photochop.

    Used GT prices are ridiculous....

    I hate to burst your bubble, but the Mustang had another excellent sales month in September with 14,341 sold. This was the HIGHEST Mustang September sales since 1986. August 06 was the HIGHEST Mustang sales month since 1981. So my point is that in calander year 2005, 160,975 Mustang...

    Used GT prices are ridiculous....

    The 2005+ Mustang is an example of the marketplace at work. Mustang sales by calander year (US only): 2002: 138,356 2003: 140,350 2004: 129,858 2005: 160,975 2006: 166,000 - projected sales for year, based on Jan - Aug sales. Mustang sales for 2005 & 2006 are running 20% higher...

    Used GT prices are ridiculous....

    Sounds like it's impossible to please everyone. The American auto companies, and especially Ford have been crucified over the past few years for the poor resale value of their vehicles. So Ford finally has a vehicle, the 2005+ Mustang who's resale value is holding up and you guys are...

    Jenn's Muffler - Part II

    Oh, so you were coming on to me, but I was too stupid to pick up on it. :D In anycase, I'm happy to learn that you have the latest updated muffler on your Stang now. :nice:

    GT500 value

    Rick I agree with your analysis, except that any savy investor who can afford to ride out the stock market or real estate market over the long haul will be able to make at least 5% over inflation and as much as 8% over inflation. That means you are making the car investment look far better...

    GT500 value

    Gas prices were not the reason for the end of the 1960s muscle car era. In 1971 the average price of regular gas in the US was 35 cents / gallon and even in 1973 it was around 40 cents a gallon (about $1.25 in 2006 dollars) and on the eve of the Arab oil embargo in 1974 gas was under 50 cents a...

    Jenn's Muffler - Part II

    A completely incorrect assumption, Jenn. I was not passing any value judgement on which Mustang model you drive, nor whether you should or should not be posting your muffler topic in the the "2005+ talk" section (last time I checked this was the 2005+ talk section, not the GT Tech section). In...

    Jenn's Muffler - Part II

    So the question is: What does Jenn have (auto or manual, coupe or vert) and what replacement muffler did she get? ( correct one or ?).

    Jenn's Muffler - Part II

    I thought that GT manuals and GT automatics had different mufflers.

    Screw the dealerships...

    You are right on. Yes the dealers can ask whatever they want, but sooner or later they will run Ford out of business by chasing away customers for good.

    DO NOT BUY FROM SIMI VALLEY FORD!

    I'm really dissappointed in your SVTdriver. You missed this one: I wonder what happened to the original aluminum "rims":rlaugh:

    What are you paying for a new GT500?

    You're putting us on aren't you? or are you just being a salesman? If Ford makes 8,000 / year for 3 years, the GT-500 will be in over supply. The market just cannot support that # of GT-500s. Prices will crash and a lot of people will be upset for paying $15K over MSRP. People who...
