    Live axel saves $300 on 2005 Stang

    I'm glad they cut costs, but an IRS costing Ford 300 dollars in parts is bull. Just cause it might cost the consumer standing at the parts counter at Joe Blow Ford 3 bills to buy the whole setup doesn't mean thats what Ford really pays to make thousands of the same thing. I would find it hard to...

    What details have you noticed on the 2005 V8 Stang?

    Best thing I've noticed is they seem to FINALLY have gotten the wheel spacing, (mostly in the back) and by that I mean being flush with the fender, right. They look very flush and like they actually fill out those gorgeous fender bulges. I use 1.3" spacers on my '01 Cobra coupe that is...

    saw a gto

    Huh?? :shrug: I don't often mistake an M3 for a Camry, but that's just me. This is not directed at Ron... Most people that bag on a BMW or many other well-engineered cars have never driven one. To each his own indeed but a lot of people do all their test drives from the seat in front of...

    POLL: New GTO

    I've driven it, both the auto and the 6 speed. It's definitely fast and I did not like the looks at first, but it has grown on me big time. :nice: What I particularly respect is GM not slapping tons of plastic body cladding on it like most of their cars, it's a nice, clean look even if it isn't...

    Need opinon- Carbon Fiber Or Aluminum Driveshaft?

    Ok any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated on this. Got 4.10s going in my '01 Cobra coupe in march or so, I'm at least putting in an aluminum driveshaft, but I've also been considering carbon fiber. I can get one for about 600 bucks but quite honestly, I just don't care about the...

    Logical decisions...

    I drove an SRT-4 this summer. I gotta admit, it impressed me in a few respects. The seats are awesome, the brakes are like running into a wall, and the shifter was better than I thought it would be. But the thing is still not that fast, I'm sorry. They make a lot of noise but the only reason...

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    Those are 390 horse!? God those things are slow, just like everything else with a Jaguar badge on it short of the XJ-220. -Chris

    Antenna: Powered or not??? Why not upgrade this area?

    Earlier this year at the country club I work at someone put a golf ball through the rear window of an Audi in the parking lot. I took care of the owner of the car, getting her a new piece of glass installed and everything. That A4 had the built in antenna in the rear glass. It kinda runs down...

    Ugh... Makes me sick.

    As for paint and stuff, you may be right. Leather you may have a point too, I like the leather in my Cobra more than most bimmers. As far as power, I kind of disaree. Of course all the M's are powerful, but even a manual 540i is a pretty fast sedan and a 330i moves well too. The new 7 series...

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    Geez kick me when I'm down, and holy crap he brings out the pictures in case there was still any doubt I was wrong, lol. Still reinforces what I said though. If they can beef up the current IRS from the LS and S-type, and BTW an LS handles very well, then thats a big plus for those who want...

    05' mustang Rear spoiler POLL

    About the spoilers-downforce-import thing... I dated this girl who saw a ricer with me one night... it was a Talon or something with the huge standard-issue ricer aluminum wing. She goes "What's that for?" I told her that IF the car could do 150mph, it would help the rear wheels, which don't...

    Ugh... Makes me sick.

    Well there WAS Brazil.... hahaha poor Fisichella didn't even get to stand on the podium. I'll abandon every single rule on the website if a Minardi finishes on the podium. -Chris

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    I stand corrected. My buddy's dad is a service manager at a Ford dealer and told me it's the same. I'll thank him for embarassing me next time i see him, haha. -Chris

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    They ended up using the IRS from the Cobra on the Explorer, slightly modified, obviously. I'd be willing to bet the IRS becomes optional in the near future. Couple things to consider: With the advances in traction control and tire technology, cars are going back to RWD. Cadillac has made it...
