    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    I do like the Sky and Solstice. They're a lot of fun but the egonomics of them are questionable. For being bigger than a Miata, I'd expect some more room in them, and the locations of things like window switches are just put in very questionable places. I highly recommend driving one of...

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    At this point, what the Hell's another 500 lbs on top of a car that already weighs 4000? I say, go for it, GM. It ain't like they could screw up the Camaro any worse anyway...

    Will Ford pass GM in sales?

    I think you're missing my point. :) What I'm saying is that it's all relative. For example, let's say we spend $100. $1000 may be the "equilvalent" to them of $100.

    Colors in 2011?

    That's probably the worst place to pick up weight, because that's all unsprung weight. Even though the brakes are upgraded, because of the addition of all the extra unsprung weight, they may cancel each other out for the most part. Unsprung weight will not only effect the handling of a car...

    The traction control? :D

    2010 Camaro

    Well, the best car isn't always the fastest. Have you ever driven a Miata? They are not the fastest cars in the world, but they are pure, unadulterated sports cars in every sense of the word. They are an absolute blast to drive, and if I just wanted a pure sports car, I would definitely...

    Will Ford pass GM in sales?

    Why should they have more rights than us? They make more money than we do, hence the reason they're paying more into the tax pot. When it all boils down to it, we're putting in nearly just as much of a percentage of our paychecks. :shrug:

    Colors in 2011?

    Good to know, and thanks for the info. Of course, we do need to keep in mind that when these vehicles are shipped, it's more than likely dry weight, which means there aren't any fluids in the vehicles; gas, oil, antifreeze, windshield wiper fluid, etc. Once you add in all those fluids, you're...

    :rolleyes: Dude, that'll be awesome! What are the specs on your car? 5spd? Gearing? Don't forget to turn the a/c off when you dyno LOL! :rlaugh:

    Will Ford pass GM in sales?

    I'm still wondering where my bailout is. :notnice: GM is constantly laying people off, which tells me they don't care about their employees, yet when I say, "I couldn't care less if GM goes under," I'm a jerk for it. :shrug: Don't blame me, blame Rick Wagoner. After blaming him, blame the...

    How about a Mustang with Wings

    Ummm, maybe a word along the lines of..."craptastic?" :)

    Colors in 2011?

    Well, I'd sure like to know what it weighs! Then I'll know what I'm up against for removing a little bit of weight. If they weigh 35xx lbs as claimed, then it shouldn't be super-difficult for me to drop the weight down to under 3500 lbs with minimal removal/replacement of things. For me, 3400...

    How about a Mustang with Wings

    That car is very ugly. I'd be flying in the opposite direction. :) I understand what it's trying to represent, but I think it could have been done better. Love the idea, hate the execution.

    which will the 2011 look like?

    The orange one was not even a concept done by Ford. It was a dedication to the Mustang done by Italdesign, I believe it was. All of a sudden, rumors started spreading that Italdesign was going to be designing the next Mustang, which was, of course, untrue, but the interesting thing is that the...

    Will Ford pass GM in sales?

    Hey, not my problem. :shrug: Why should I care what happens to a company? I didn't care when APC (Always Producing Crap), one of the "premier Pep Boys Dress-up Kit" companies went under cuz they sucked, why should I care that GM goes under? Seems to me that the employees of GM need to band...

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    No, it's only "in" for the domestics. Everyone talks about how these cars need to hit safety regulations for 2012, and that obviously also includes the imports. It seems that Nissan managed to keep costs at nearly the same level as the 350Z with the 370Z, yet found a way to not only meet new...

    2010 Camaro

    Actually, it's good for Ford that I hate the new Camaro. :nice: And yes, an accomplishment....FOR THE COBALT SS, and an insult to two V8 Muscle Cars that are $10,000-$25,000 more expensive and have nearly double the hp for one and more than double the hp for the other. :notnice: I don't...

    Will Ford pass GM in sales?

    You have your opinion, I have mine. Maybe your friends and family should start looking for jobs elsewhere. As long as I can still find parts for my Camaro, I don't care what happens to GM. I'll just feel bad for the innocent people who it effects.

    Everything I stated in my previous post is pure fact.
