Thanks for the pictures. I know that most of us have seen pictures of these cars for months but for some reason seeing someone's real car in a real setting seems somehow more, shall I say, "real". Nice looking car.

No spoiler. It is just a tacked on silly looking thing that adds nothing to the performance of the car. I have lived with one on my 1994 Cobra for 10 years and hated it from the first day. It blocks my rear view and looks stupid. Someday I just might remove it.

Doesn't look like a Mustang??? I know that I am an old guy but this is the first new Mustang the 'looks like a Mustang' since early 70s. Everything since then copied the general trend of the era. The boxy Fox platforms and then the jelly bean shape of the SN95. Followed by the edgy shape...

Good question. I originally heard that it was going to be a 2007 model, available in late 2006. MT said that it was going to be out as a 2006 model in late 2005. Autoweek stated, in the article about dropping the Lightning, that the Cobra would be available about this time next year...

For those of you that have actually seen the 05s, how big are they compared to the SN95s. According to what I have read they are an inch higher. My 94 is lowered about an inch so this would mean that the new car is 2 inches taller than mine. The pictures don't look like it but I guess you...

Go to tirerack.com and look for the selection for that size tire. There isn't much available. Maybe that will change when there are thousands of new Mustangs needing tires.

See my response to the following link, http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=500608 I have had problems with this combination.

Be careful about Tokicos and MM CC plates. I have this combination and I can't get rid of a loud clunking noise when going over large bumps such as speed bumps. I have read others complaining about this on one of the Mustang forums so I know that I am not alone. Do some research first...

I replaced mine with Ford original equipment recently and they make a similar noise. The install was done by a Mustang shop locally but I still suspect that the arms weren't loaded when they were installed. They should have the car weight on them before being tightened. The noise was annoying...

Magnecor is definitely superior. I put in a set to replace OEM at 90000 and they haven't failed so far at 210000 miles. www.magnecor.com

I bought an 89 new and then traded it in for a new 1994 Cobra. The biggest difference was that the 94 was a much more solid car. I now have 210000 on it and it still feels solid compared to many other cars that I drive from time to time. I guess it all depends upon what you want the car to do...

Pretty good actually. The guy made up a cute story to get your attention (silly enough that no one would actually believe it), created a product that no one has seen before, and is marketing it. Free enterprise, the American way. Everyone can get new toy cars but who has anything like...

I didn't realize that there were any new 2003 cobras still for sale. What dealer is this, do you have their web link? Your price is as good or better than low milage used 2003s. Thanks

Has anyone heard anything about whether Ford will have a Sirius radio option in the 2005 Mustang. They supposedly are going to include this in all of their new cars but the available options for the Mustang don't mention it. Thanks

Check Maximum Motorsports at www.maximummotorsports.com. They recommend and sell only Ford cables. I tried replacing mine with a $50 AAP cable when I thought it might be worn after 200000 miles. The thing would bind from the beginning. I put my old one back in and got my money back. I...

It won't matter what the appraisal is if your insurance company doesn't agree to insure you for that amount. I checked with State Farm a while ago to see if they would value rate my car but they wouldn't. I figure my car would be worth less than $2000 so it would be totaled with 1500 damage...

Exactly. Its most noticable when I accelerate hard away from a stop and turn right. Then the hop starts at about 3500 in first gear. I tried removing the pinion snubber just to test if the diff was bouncing on it. It made no difference. The hop was no worse or better. I sort of expected...

I didn't do the work myself, I had it done by a local Orlando Mustang performance shop. But you got me thinking about the install of the arms. I can't remember whether the suspension was put at ride height when he tightened the arms. I guess I could loosen them and retighten, this takes some...

The Steeda comes with poly for the axle and rubber for the body. The uppers were installed at least six months before I started having problems so I don't suspect they are at fault. I just recently changed the lowers when the axle hop got unbearable. The old ones were very worn, the...

The uppers have a harder rubber bushing installed, this is the FMS part that Steeda puts their name on. The lowers were replaced with OEM which contain new bushings. I first had the problem with almost bald Kuhmo ECSTA 712s, I replaced them with the same tire and the problem didn't change...
