    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Countries in Europe are also a lot smaller, so there is less distance to drive. Other than NYC and Boston, Europe schools the US when it comes to mass transit. The US is too spread out and too rural in most places for mass transit to be efficent.

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    This is getting old and it looks like you do not want to listen to logic. The US Evo is a different version of the Evo, it isn't exactly an Evo 8 or Evo VII. It is based on the Evo 8 but with a lot of changes, they aren't 100% or even 98% the same. They have the same engine but different...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    The new GT runs on 87 vs. 91 in other 300HP+ Mustangs thus saving 20¢ a gallon. Plus the Mustang still gets better gas milage than every SUV and Pickup truck on the road. If you still need better milage than get the V6 Stang.

    Which engine you rather have in the next Mach 1/ BOSS?

    And even the Block is different. Navigator has an Iron block and the Ford GT has an Aluminum Block.... but not the same aluminum block as the Cobra R. The Ford GT block is made of a new aluminum alloy that is 30% stronger than the Cobra R block.

    When The 2005 Comes Out...Do you Think?

    Many are getting new 2004 Mach 1s for $23K-$25K. Plus with the brand new '04 you would get better resale since it is 1 year newer and will have 22,000 less miles.

    Which engine you rather have in the next Mach 1/ BOSS?

    The 5.4L isn't torquey enough so you want to go with a smaller displacment 5.0L? :scratch: The Mustangs have had bigger than 5.4Ls in the past, the early 90's Cobra had a 5.8L. There was a number of 4xx ci engines in the 60s/70s. You can't judge the 5.4L by the Navigator, it is tuned...

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    I'm pointing out that they are not the same, They have different drivetains. The biggest difference is the Japanese version has a 6 speed manual and the US version has a 5 speed manual. That is not the same to me. It is like a Z28 or Mach 1 owner saying they have a SS or Cobra. Sure they...

    Which engine you rather have in the next Mach 1/ BOSS?

    Which engine you rather have in the next Mach 1/ BOSS or what ever it is called that is a step above the GT? 5.4L 3v with aluminum block or 5.0L 4v DOHC "Cammer" tuned for CAFE and street use Both engine would be rated at 375HP, the 5.4L would have better torque on the low end but the 5.0L...

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    I've seen a automatic 1999 Z28 run a 12.2 with the only mod being a 100 shot of N20 ($600?) I'm sure the '05 Stang could do the same or at least come close.

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    Again, The Evo 8 an US Evo are slightly different. Japanese version has Active Center Differential and Active Yaw Control and a 6 speed Manual. Go down to your local Mitsu dealer and try to shift the US Evo into 6th gear and then come back and tell us it is the execat same car. THis article...

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    I beleive you are right, THe US Evo is a mix of the 7 & 8. Evo 7 = 5 speed manual Evo 8 = 6 speed manual US Evo = 5 speed manual A bunch of other little things make them different too. Evo 271HP/3263lbs. = 12.0lbs. per HP '05 GT 300HP/3425lbs. = 11.4lbs. per HP The '05 Stang...

    The Concept Mustang GT-R and the shebly cobra

    Why wouldn't everyone want all of them :D The compression ratio is too high on the GT-R engine to have a supercharger.
