    Manual Trans/Stock shifters.

    I don't think its rare, but not sure that it is particularly common either. I have it on my 2008. I forget if it is a part of the Interior Upgrade Package or the Premier Trip package. It does get cold in the winter, but try having your car sit in 100 degree weather for an hour in the direct...

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    My first/previous car was a brand new 2000 V6 mustang. I bought it as I was getting my license. My dad wouldn't allow me to get a V8 - he lost his brother when they were teens/early 20s in a drag racing accident in a new 69 Z/28 Camaro. The whole "it's my money" arguement didn't work either - he...

    Should I have dealer fix damage done on lot new?

    Ha, I read last October, but for some reason I thought that was last month... I think I need to go back to school or something. That makes it even worse... no dealer will fix something on a car you bought a year ago!

    Should I have dealer fix damage done on lot new?

    I'd be surprised if any dealer would be willing to fix something on a car that you've had for at minimum two weeks if you had never previously pointed it out. If you take delivery in the evening, most will be nice enough to allow you to call them the next day if you find a defect in better...

    My GT500 is rusting and Ford doesn't care

    Isn't the rust/corrosion warranty longer than 3/36? I thought that portion was 5 or 6 years...

    Post pics of what you drove before your s197

    I think they are BBS wheels? Brand new vipers start in the $90k region. They are still in the same price ballpark as Carreras, but you don't often find people cross-shopping them. They are just two completely different machines. Aside from collectors, you will rarely find a new GT500 buyer...

    I'm embarrassed

    Top Speed, excellent points. Just remember the "rice" pieces on mustangs are optional. I also would never consider the STi (or even regular WRX) to be rice, until someone puts on an obnoxious coffee can muffler, Greddy Quad Turbo stickers, or 28" rims. To be fair, you have the STi - the top...

    Booze Brothers Racing Mustang

    I have heard of Booze Brother's Racing. They actually do/did significant work on a guy Fox in my local Mustang Club. All good reviews from what I've heard. To add on to Grey's thoughts: if they are all Ford Racing parts, you can have them installed at/before delivery and I believe they are...

    Traction

    No. Wrong. Just flat out wrong. On everything. Reread my post on how friction and tires work. Friction does depend on area in the real world. As someone pointed out before, the chassis is twisting - it isn't because of the torque not being split properly or weight not being distributed...

    Post pics of what you drove before your s197

    2000 V6 Mustang. I had bought it brand new, and when I sold it in 2007 (2 years and 4 days ago, to be exact), it had a hair over 30k miles on it.

    Traction

    A car will have the same contact patch if the tires are filled to the same PSI no matter what the size of the tire is. It is simple physics/statics - forces must balance. The "cross section" as you called it is completely dependant upon how much air pressure is in the tire. In your example, you...

    Nice day for some pictures...

    Looks good! No experience with blackouts though. And not to be creepy or anything, but I recognize the background in your pictures. When I first moved to the DC area, I am 99% sure that I lived in your neighborhood!

    I'm embarrassed

    Fair enough. You don't like the four door cars, that's fine. You are entitled to your opinion, but it doesn't make them POS's. Especially when there are many 4 doors out there that not only mutilate the GT in a straigh line (and corners), they cost significantly more and are significantly nicer...

    I'm embarrassed

    Guys next time you pull up to a Mack truck at a stoplight, you should be scared. Depending on the model, they come with anywhere from 325 to 485 horsepower! :eek: But seriously, the SHO is actually a pretty sweet ride. IMO, it is a little bit too expensive. If I was going to spend $40k on a...

    Which package do I have?

    The hood scoop, engine cover, and rolled exhaust tips came in the sport appearance package. The heated seats were part of the comfort group. Shaker 500 was standard on the GT Premium, and depending on exactly what you mean by aluminum dash accents, those are too. Most years, you weren't able to...

    14.618 @ 3192 ft (DA)

    Some wheelspin is good. My old 190 hp 2000 V6 mustang could run a 15.3, so something is strange if 14.6 is your corrected time.

    Which of these Stangs would you rather have?

    I agree with VthStang - neither. I'll take one of the identical cars listed on ebay for $10k less than those! 2 posts with three links to the same Salt Lake City dealership with the same salesman as the contact... smells like someone is trying to advertise for the dealership at which they...

    Sweet '10 Roush Mustang 427R!!

    Holy crap talk about overpriced. There's a new 2010 427R on ebay for $43k and almost all of the buy-it-now's are under $50k. Sweet car none the less. You can buy a 2010 GT500 for sticker ($50k). Check ebay - you'll find plenty for no markup, and I've even seen a couple slightly below sticker...

    Can you get a set of golf clubs in the trunk?

    I've fit two sets with plenty of room to spare. The opening might be a little small, but the trunk is actually surprisingly large. I don't have the subs that comes with the Shaker1000 though. You guys want to talk about skinny people... My best friend/roommate in college is 6'6" and weighs...
