    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    Can you imagine pulling away from an AWD SUV/Truck on a snowy day in a Mustang?! Now that would also be cool. Can't do it in a GT though. ;)

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    I agree, that AWD Mustang probably won't happen, just dreaming. I do think ford needs something to compete with the STI's and EVO's out there though. An EcoBoost AWD Fusion would be pretty sweet, still not a Mustang, but pretty sweet. Only if they price it right though. The V6 sport...

    Colors in 2011?

    I wonder how they are going to add 600 or so lbs, when there isn't even going to be a body change?

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    I know Ford probably won't build an AWD Mustang, but I can't see spending $40K+ on a “Taurus”. Albeit, one Bad A** Taurus, but a Taurus nonetheless. I think I would consider spending high $20k’s on a Fusion with the 2.0L EcoBoost and AWD. Although I think it will be more expensive than that...

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    Definitely not knocking the 4 cyl. I just want AWD. I would rather have the V6, but maybe a slightly larger 4 cyl. (2.5L vs. current 2.0L offering) would be ok.

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    Still have my cougar...maybe I should make IT AWD. :D Really couldn't drive that in the winter. Isn't really designed to battle the salt. Plus I would be afraid of other drivers. Replacement parts aren’t too easy to come buy and insurance would probably total it, even if someone just bumped...

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    Do they still offer IRS on any of the mustang models? I think one of the old Cobra Mustangs was IRS? I wouldn't be surprised if Ford already had an IRS setup and just hasn't spit it out for a production car. The 4cyl EcoBoost (2.0L) is only 275 hp. That would be a drastic reduction...

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    I too would rather have a RWD V8. Like you said the way it drives and the sound is just something to behold. I also agree with you about the only option for transmission being Automatic, but I have two words for you paddle-shifters. :D However, due to the fact that I would have to park...

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    Don't get me wrong; I would in no way want to replace the GT with the AWD. The RWD Mustang is something that belongs and should not go away. I was thinking of how awesome it is going to be when I win the lottery though. I'm going to buy a Taurus SHO and a 2010 GT, swap drive trains and...

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    I haven’t really seen this discussed here, so I’m bringing it up. I’m sure I will probably take some heat, but here goes…I want an All Wheel Drive mustang. I live in Northeast Indiana and cannot have a Mustang as a daily driver. I know some of you guys are driving your Mustangs year-round...

    Foghorn, Edbert, anyone else who's done an Autometer install...

    I'm thinking about doing this also, what do you have to do about the mileage on the new speedo (legalities). If I ever sold the car I wouldn't want to have to get a salvage title or something. Can you have the swap notorized or possibly match the mileage some how?

    Are these parts useable???

    Hypothetically speaking, what is the most you (or anyone else for that matter) would offer for it knowing what I’ve told you? And you much does it usually cost to have it diagnosed?

    Are these parts useable???

    So you think I could sell this stuff? I don't even know what I can expect to get for it. What is broken? Someone tried to tell me it could be the pump? I have no idea when it comes to transmissions.

    Electronic speedo question

    I realize this is an old thread but... Is there away you can modify the signal from the VSS so that it can correct for and AOD transmission and 4.11 gears without having to change out the actual gear in the transmission?

    Are these parts useable???

    When I started to put my AOD in my cougar I bought an EDGE 3000 Stall converter and a Lentech Manual Valve Body. The same day I brought the car home from having the engine wired up the damn bushing that connects the TV cable to the Throttle body broke and the TV cable came loose. The TV cable...
