    Bigger V8 from Ford

    The Mustang has always had relatively big power and a big engine compared to every other non F-body coupe on the road. Even today in 2004 the Mustang is the king of sub $30K performance cars with its 310HP 4.6L V8. Compare that to the closest sub $30K performance car the Evo with its 271HP...

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    The Camaro was set to be killed in 2000, but there was a good amount of demand for it so they kept building them until 2002 (the last possible year). The pre-Lutz GM management seamed to be all about trucks and FWD cars. There was also a lot of political BS with the Quebec gov't and within GM...

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    That is correct, the Ford GT was built to be a Halo car, and a damn good one it is. High end Mustangs like the Cobra and Mach 1 do the same thing for the Mustang line. Even if the Camaro SS was the most profitable car in the auto industry, GM would have stopped making them because of 2003...

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    Correct, HP isn't the #1 thing that sells cars, that is why the bulk of Mustang, F-bodys, and the 300 will be V6 cars. The Camaro always got bad ass engines because it was cheaper/more profitable to use a Vette hand-me-down than to build a smaller V8 just for the Camaro. The HP niche models...

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    I kind of agree with Scot_94GT, Ford needs a displacement boost. The 8 year old LS1 engine is still putting out a lot more power than the brand new 3v 4.6L (350HP/375tq vs. 300HP/315tq) even if the new 4.6L is underrated by 20HP/20tq it is still 30HP/40tq behind the LS1 and will be in an...

    Car of the year?

    I think it will be between Chrysler 300 Corvette Cadillac STS Mustang The 300 and Mustang have a better chance since they have a wider model and price range.

    Poll: '05 Mustang!!!!!

    Since the car isn't out yet all we can due is Bullshat with each other. Once the car hits the street and some people on here actually own one then I expect the nature of this forum to change.

    Camless Engine

    Some Info I found on the international camless engine: http://www.dieselnet.com/news/0004navistar.html The GM Camless V8 was to be out in the Vette towards the end of the decade and be in a special edition Vette, ZR1, Z06, or what ever they call it.

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    http://www.detnews.com/2004/autosinsider/0405/27/b01-165355.htm New 6.2L V8 from Ford, I wonder if it will fit in the Stang. This would be a good engine for the new Navigator and Lincon Mark LT to help set them apart from the Expedition and F-150. Plus the Navigator needs to catch up to...

    Compression ratio?

    I don't know anyone who has ever had a problem with insurance companies paying out. 3rd party extended warranties on the other hand are a nightmare. I'd only get a Ford backed extended warranty, Warranty Gold is the biggest scam out there.

    Manual is better? Ok, but what about..............

    Buy what makes you happy, Manual tranny people are 10x more loyal than people are to Chevy or Ford, you can't trust their opinion. I was raised on automatics but 50% of the cars I have own have been manuals, I've seen the best and worse of both worlds. I could one own one car and it was my...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Yup, get ready for a double dip resession. Presedent Bush didn't help by adding more instability to the Middle East. What happened to this "war for oil"? I thought the war in Iraq was going to make gas cheaper than water :confused:

    Compression ratio?

    He is right, stuff like exhust and CAI are not a big deal, but some insurance companies can be a PITA. Read this article: http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat_code=carnews&loc_code=index&content_code=02910534

    GTO or Stang

    Or if dealers just sell them at a reasonable price they will sell great, Now a days people HATE paying MSRP for a cars let alone $5,000 over MSRP. Even the twice as limited Cobra could be had for $1000 under MSRP. Ford seams to have done a better job of keeping dealers inline. Many GTO...

    GTO or Stang

    Mustang will sell more b/c Ford will build more of them and have different versions ranging from $18K V6s to $30K V8s. The LS2 GTO is a Cobra like product built in low numbers, 18,000 GTOs and 7500 Cobras. They will never sell in the #'s that low cost V6 cars will.
