i know back the in the day the lx and gt 5.0's were the same car except for some trim, the the gt was more to insure
lodom said:Higher priced cars generally equate to higher insurance costs, but not always. I can insure a $45K Vette, for about the same amount as a GT Mustang (I'm not kidding). Claim history for the vehicle, has a lot to do with the insurance rates along with the age and driving record of the owner.

Go test-drive an '04 Mach 1. You'll recant your original statement immediately. The 3V VVT in the '05 should be even snappier.

Accident rates rule the day, not the engine, not the number of doors, not power to weight ratio, etc....
spectravp said:Gender
A young man under age 25 generally pays more than a woman of the same age. This is because young men are involved in more accidents than young women and have more than three times as many fatal accidents.

TomServo92 said:The only problem is that Chrysler has seen fit to only put that engine into trucks or 4000+ lbs, $30K+ sedans or wagons with auto trannies. When they drop into a 3400 lbs coupe with a manual tranny that only costs around $25K, they might just get my attention (operative word is "might"). It'll be interesting to see what the new Charger has in store.

Rumor has it that the 300HP is underrated. Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords reported that clandestine dyno testing of an '05 yielded 290RWHP which would put the flywheel power well north of 300. Again, that's only rumor. I guess we'll know for sure in a few weeks.
