    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth had always had that exact quality. When the Magnum first came out I considered it. (I hadnt seen the 05 Concept yet) but having never suffered through a Chrysler product as many of my friends had, I decided to pass. Boy am I glad.

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    Just a couple comments.. dont forget Volvos engineering in the New Mustang ride etc, Also how much more were comparably equipped F Bodies than Stangs of the same generation. YOu say GM made the GTO for next to nothing, yet it is stickered 5000+ more than a GT. Im not sure GM has learned...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    I fail to see how this car being so popular relates to a lower resale. Ford cant make enough to meet the demand. With demand, resale is good. Though I seriously doubt my GT will ever be sold while Im alive.

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    The Old, and I do mean OLD 360 Dodge is a world behind in the technoology dept. The new technology 281 Mustang V8 is faster than a Boss 429 was in its day on the street in stock form. With similar technology, displacement on similar cars will win out.

    Here we go again---GTO vs. GT

    I dont see the dilema.? They are 2 different classes of cars. Which class are you in the market for? If you need a midsize car with some git up, the GTO hands down. If you want a sports coupe, the GT. I bought the GT just because of the styling so reminiscant of the early Mustangs plain...

    Aftermarket hood vibrations

    The problem is the hood catches too much air through the grill openings. It needs to be vented with louvers or something. I definately wont put a glass hood on mine without hood pins. I have been researching hood twist lock pins like on 70-71 Mustangs.

    Retro Styling or is it just American Styling?

    If you follow the styling from 64 1/2 to73 then throw the 2005 in. It seems like a natural progression, retro or American.

    Cool Quote From Ticketing Officer

    Wasnt in a Mustang and was a long long time ago, but in retrospect it was funny. 1969. I had just graduated (at 17) and was working the summer in Harrington Kansas. Lot of local teens were on the crew, laying underground telephone cables. Didnt have my car there (56 Chevy 365 hp 327, had...

    Engine Internals

    The weak spot is thought to be the pistons as the distance to the first ring is short. Personally my opinion is if you want to have a supercharger, replace the pistons, rods and crank with forged pieces, no matter whose blower you use. The engine will last much, much longer. And if you are...

    Gt - Auto

    One of the reasons I ordered was there were Zero Auto GTs anywhere close. 4 dealers in a 50 mile radius and none had had any Auto GTs.

    Dodge dropped the ball.

    Dont hold your breath for a two door anytime soon from the folks at DC. They are on record as saying the 2 door is dead. Also the rear wheel drive program from GM is dead. No Camaro/Firebird in the near future. On the other hand, the GTO, bland styling and all will return for at least 06.
