    2010 Mustang?

    I would not hold your breath on a 400hp V8. Unless things really change in detroit quick, your not gonna have ford spending capitol on a new V8, especally for a mustang only app. We're at the end of the HP wars, not the beginning. Last time around they didn't last long either.

    2010 Reveal - What a Joke

    I could not agree more, 45 minutes of b.s. then they barely show the cars. It really stunk. They could have taken some of that time to reveal the "magic" behind the massive h.p. gains made for '10.....or not.

    Let's rate the new Mustang

    Yeah, through frpp catalog, same as the last generation. It was avaliable when I bought my '08. Dealer installed s.c. The more I see, the more I think that the '03/'04 cobras were a high water mark in performance and value. The gt 500s are overpriced, and I'm sure will also be in this new...

    Let's rate the new Mustang

    Horsepower up their sleeve, thats as sad as a little boy staring out the window waiting for his astranged father to come home. Shall we look back over the last 20 years at GT hp ratings, or would you rather not. With a 400 hp camaro on the horizon, what better time to up the hp ante on the gt...

    'Cuda concept

    Weight really is the killer these days, imagine a rs camaro, turbo 4cyl, stripped down to 3300lbs. at 300hp, it would perform very well. How much does that little ecotech 4 weigh? Personally I'm looking foreward to a ss427 to fight with the KR.

    'Cuda concept

    That 'cuda looks awesome, I must say I'm not all that thrilled with the initial pics of the camaro.(camaro5.com) The lines seem muted and the proportions look off. At this point I'd say I'll be keeping the c6. This should get interesting in the next year, hope ford knows what they are doing with...

    Best decision?

    You definitely need to go drive a new one before you get all excited about a trade. They are totally different cars, the '197 is a softer ride and feels much larger. Your mach will probably "feel " faster, and may very well be. I second the vote for a clean '03 /04 cobra if your looking for a...

    Does the GT 500 suck?!?

    I've had the car a year and it has been trouble free, don't beleve everything on the net sir. I remember reading all kind of horor stories over at svt performance.com prior to buying my cobra. It does come with a 5yr, 100,000 mile warranty if something does happen.

    Does the GT 500 suck?!?

    I think we all are a little disappointed with the gt 500. I LOVED my '03 cobra, I paid under 30k for it new, had an amazing motor, and weighed 3505 lbs at delivery. Still no lightweight but a damnsight lighter than a gt500. I'm one of the many that jumped over to a vette after seeing the...

    sirius 2 xm

    Is there an xm module available to swap out with the stock sirius? I know gm offers a gm-siri module that swaps sirius for xm in all of their sat ready decks. I've had both so don't even start with the sirius is awesome argument. I'm in the OnA camp, and have been for years, music wise it really...

    From the sixer to the 8.

    What makes you think you'll have the gt for many years to come? Your upgrading for more hp right? What happens when the mach 1 is released, or if there is a meaningful hp jump in '10? It's never over, if you were jumping to a gt500 you may be content for a while, but I doubt 300hp will suffice...

    '10 refresh

    Thank you, I knew there was no way ford would run a refreshed 197 for 2 years only. The wife likes the current car, so what the hell, she's gonna be driving it anyhow. I drive an ugly duckling, the interrior is light years ahead of a c5's. I love it, and like the way it looks. Thanks for the info.

    '10 refresh

    Is it at all posible that we'll see the refresh this year as opposed to '10? Why would ford do a refresh for just 2 years of production? 2012 is gonna be a new animal right? I hate to buy the wife an '08 or '09 with the new bodystyle so close.Can someone explain the logic behind spending all of...
