    04 vs. 05+

    Those are the key words Mike. Forget how much better the 05+ handles or how much HP the 3V has, the 05+s are far better every day cars than any prior Mustang.

    best 3.55 gears for auto. GT

    I doubt that the difference to 3.55s will be worth the cost. What are you trying to accomplish?

    2008 or 2010?

    None of us know enough about the 2010 Mustang to know if it's worth waiting for. However the one thing I do know is that with all the new competition that's on the way, if Ford doesn't make some big improvements in the 2010 Ford is going to be in deep dog doo doo.

    Wanting a little feedback.......

    The 5 speed auto is a quantum performance leap over the old 4 speeds. In the old days of 4 speed autos, most anyone could drive a 5 speed manual faser. But with the 05+, acceleration times are very close between the manual & auto. I'd guess that there aren't many drivers who are really...

    04 vs. 05+

    There is no comparison, the 05+ is incredibly better than the 99 - 04s. A bone stock 05 GT handles better than ANY older Mustang except for the Cobra R. The ride of the 05s is way better, steering feel is way better and the 05s have an overall "solid" feel that is light years ahead of the 04...

    new '07 or new '06 GT?

    Sounds like a mistake on the KBB web site. NADA shows trade in value on an 05 GT about $2K less than an 06 GT (same mileage & options)

    new '07 or new '06 GT?

    The 2006s are a model year old, so the instant you drive an 06 off a dealer's lot it's worth $3,500 less than an 07. That's why Ford has the extra incentives. Chrysler has the same thing, $3K more incentives on 06 300Cs. If you're planning on keeping your Mustang for a number of years...

    2005-07 Engine

    The bold moves flop is just another bad ad campagin. I'm distingusing between some more bad Ford ads and the greater issue of Ford's mismanagement of whatever brand equity it has succeeded in building over it's history, The failure to brand and market engines has been a 60+ year screw up for...

    Next Gen Stang to include 4 doors/wagon variants?

    Of all the stupid things Ford has done over it's 100 year history, a 4 door Mustang and / or a Mustang station wagon would be at the top of the list. Talk about a bonehead move what would destroy the brand. :bang: :bang: :bang:

    2005-07 Engine

    Ford has not done an acceptable job of naming & branding its engines.

    To Mustang or to Not Mustang...

    Good advice. The Taurus is a great car in the snow, very easy to drive in the snow. I've never come close to getting stuck with a Taurus even with very worn standard issue all weather tires. I do not see any need for an AWD vehicle. A FWD car like the Taurus will go anywhere an AWD vehicle...

    Shelby GT Mustang Info From Ford

    Tremec can only make a ceratain # of T3650 trannies and doesn't want to invest in more production capacity. It's an economic issue. You spend $100m to build a factory that can turn out 50,000 transmissions a year. Your customer now want's 60, 000 trannies / year but won't commit to that...

    Shelby GT Mustang Info From Ford

    Sounds like a bargain, asssuming you can get one without paying dealer markup. I wonder if there will be 2 shipping charges Ford to Shelby and then Shelby to Dealer.

    More concepts....

    Try 1972. The front end of that photochop is someone's interpretation of the front clip from a 1972 Gran Torino Sport.

    GT-500 = Boat

    You're right on that - dreams. When was the last time GM sold 100K F bodies? And when they sold that many it was against a much weaker Mustang product. I think many people are going to be shocked as to how expensive the Challenger will be.

    S197 Mustang ||| Black Box?

    The reason why black boxes (EDRs) came about in the first place was the manufacturers wanted to protect themselves from people who did stupid things with their vehicles, crashed them and then tried to blame the manufacturer.

    Hood Scoop Problem

    Hey, I was being helpful, I pointed out how the middle of the hood is the wrong place to put a scoop. They don't work even if they are open. Besides that, I was just checking to make sure you weren't trying to play a joke on us. Mellow out dude.
