    Is this the 2008 Bullitt Mustang?

    This seems to be the 08 Bullitt Mustang, cameraflaged in red. Looks like it has, no spoiler, a grille without fog lights and a special emblem on the rear (taped over), all of which are confirmed for the 08 Bullitt. Also note the unique Bullitt style wheels...

    Amazing what some incentives will do.

    Thanks to the Ford incentives ($1,500 rebates or 0% APR), lots of inventory and more dealers who are finally willing to give reasonable discounts on GTs, the Mustang had its highest sales for the month of August since 1979 !:shock: 17,933 Mustangs were sold in Aug 06, not as good as the...

    GT-500 delayed? ?

    According to a report on Stang's Unleashed, the front snout is breaking off the crankshafts. The problem may be due to the very large and heavy vibration damper (different than the Lightning used). http://www.stangsunleashed.com/index.php?categoryid=18&p2_articleid=94 This could be why...

    Ford announces the 265 HP, 3.5L Duratec 35

    http://media.ford.com/newsroom/release_display.cfm?release=23109 3.5L, 265 HP and 250 lb ft on regular 87 octane gas. Sounds like a winner. Should Ford dump the 4.0L V6 as soon as possible and put the 265 HP D35 in the 2008 Mustang?

    Ford officially announces the GT/CS

    With very little fanfare, Ford has announced the GT/CS on their media web site. For $1,895 you get a ramshackle collection of fake scoops and decals. If you want more performance, the press release says to go buy the Ford Racing Power Pack. All I can say about the GT/CS is "whooptie f'in...

    Feb Mustang sales are best since June 05

    After 7 consecutive months of weak sales, the Mustang finally showed a bit of a sales rebound in February 06. But with 13,367 units sold in Feb 06, it was still a 5% decline from the 14,050 Stangs that were sold in Feb 05. The Feb 06 sales # should be of concern to Ford. Last year there...

    GT-500 production starts today 1/23/06

    Reportedly Ford is building a pilot run of 50 - GT-500s, starting today, Monday January 23, 2005. Possibly someone who works @ AAI can confirm this. The pilot run is usually cars for testing, EPA mileage, DOT crash, durability etc. Some of the pilot cars are usually loaned to the media so...

    4th month in a row of lackluster Mustang sales

    October Mustang sales were again mediocre with only 11,234 of them sold (US). Now before anyone goes crowing about how that was 21% better than October 04, remember that a year ago 05 Mustang production was just ramping up, the 04 model ceased production in May 04, so the dealer lots were...

    2nd month of soft Mustang sales

    31 days ago I posted a topic "Big discounts on Mustangs" In that thread I pointed how how sales of Mustangs in July were soft at only 10,577. I also said that anyone who paid MSRP, let alone one cent over MSRP was a fool as there soon would be an over supply of Mustangs and disounts will...

    Get your 05 / 06 Mustang at a BIG discount!

    It looks like Mustang Fevor is OVER! After a weak June sales #, July Mustang sales were pitiful at only 10,577, which is ONLY a 127,000 annual rate. If any dealer wants you to pay one cent over invoice, tell them to stick it where the Sun don't shine. Since the factory is producing 16,000...

    Before you start tuining your PCM

    There have been several threads showing dyno pulls posted here. One of the things several people have noted was how rich the A/F ratio on the GT engine is. Here is something I found on streetrodstuff.com. It was writting by someone who worked on the GM Northstar engine, but what he says...

    C&D tests an '05 Mustang V6

    Feb Issue of Car & Driver. V6 with Premium Pkg ABS+TC, IUP & side airbags = MSRP $22,890. What they liked. 0-60 = 6.9 sec 1/4 = 15.3 @ 91 MPH. They were surprised at how fast it was in a straight line, not that much slower than a 99-04 GT auto. Styling & overall package. The shifter...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    Car & Driver says 2005 Mustang is better than 2005 GTO ! That's right I said 2005 GTO. C&D had a muscle car test of the 05 Stang vs. the new 400 HP 2005 GTO. Both were manual trannies. They considered including the 238 HP RX-8, 240 HP Accord V-6 & 298 HP G-35, but decided that real muscle...
