    Bingo! It's all what you want from the car...... I've had both over the years, but both my current mustangs are sticks.

    Ponies in the Sun - Sun Country MC show

    I know this show isn't until September 16th (Sunday), but just wondering who's planning on making the trip to Yakima. We've gone to this show the past two years, and really enjoy it. The Sun Country Mustang Club folks are very friendly hosts, and the setting in Sarg Hubbard Park on the river...

    2008 GT vs. 2009 BOSS Possibility

    It's been confirmed that one SE model for 08 is the Bullitt. It hasn't been confirmed what, if any, SE model will be released for 09, but it probably won't have the BOSS name, since that name is owned by another company. Unless Ford and that company sign a licensing agreement to use the name...

    18X10 Vs 18X9

    Running 18X10's in the back with 9's in the front will give it a more aggressive look, but there are a few minor issues to consider.... Running different sizes means you won't be able rotate your tires, which means a little less life on the tread all around. If it's an issue for you, a larger...

    Help! Talk me into keeping the Mustang

    Hey, congrats! We've been there.... done that! If you can swing it, try what we did. Kept the Mustang, but got a Mazda 3 also for the family.... It's a kick to drive, and gets 31mpg.

    2008 Shelby GT pics and specs released today

    Those ebay sales are from dealers using the same tactics they would to sell them new off the show room floor, but the used market will take care of this pricing problem. There's NO WAY a dealer will take one of these cars in trade in a year or two from a private owner and give them more...

    What would you like to see in a S197 BOSS Mustang?

    Lots of great input relative to engine, power, suspension, even colors, but the most important thing is weight reduction. The most economical way Ford could produce a marketable Boss would be to utilize the existing 4.6, with decent intake, exhaust, and tune (and I mean a real tune, not the...

    2008 Shelby GT pics and specs released today

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you two talking about two different cars? The production numbers referenced are for the Shelby GT, not the GT500, right? And for reference, the GT500 is a car produced in a Ford factory (ala the old SVT cars), but the Shelby GT is actually finished...

    Albert Lee Car Show.

    Russ, I should never have doubted your word. :hail2: I got a call back from both contact numbers listed confirming the show IS on Saturday, the 23rd. The Eatonville Chamber of Commerce website is incorrect. I've updated my post info in the "upcoming events" sticky. We have a slight...

    Larger wheels and mpg?

    Unless you're going to an ultra-light type rim, you'll increase rotational mass when you increase your wheel size, which will always effect your mpg. The effect on mpg depends on the increase. I went from stock 16's to 18's on my 03 V6 coupe, and it decreased my mileage by 1.5-2mpg. You may...

    Albert Lee Car Show.

    The Eatonville Chamber of Commerce website says it's the 24th. I'll double check both sources and post what I find out.

    Albert Lee Car Show.

    Russ, do I have the correct info? Are the Issaquah XXX cruise-in and the Rodknockers Show and Shine in Eatonville both on Sunday the 24th? Do I have the right events here? If so, which will you be at that day? John

    Bellevue show?

    As a side note... those that are in the Saturday Judged Show that also show up for Sunday's People's Choice are inelligible for the People's Choice class awards. They are there for display only (not sure if the owners can still get a ballot to vote for others in the People's Choice classes)...

    Oregon State Police using new Mustangs?

    Does anybody know about the specs on these Oregon SP cars? Any special performance or handling additions? Might be a good pick-up when the state eventually decides to sell them....
