    My 2005 GT got stomped 2x

    What gives is that practically ever type of car has an expensive version that runs 13's. Gone are the days where a handful of muscle cars dominated the roads. At least Cobras will still put just about anything away. And at least Mustangs are fast, RWD, loud, and American.

    Installed chip and now car wont start

    I bet the shaking was all due to the MAF, like stallion said. I had the same problem with violent shaking and weird idle rpms, only to find that my cold-air intake cracked open on the engine side of the MAF.

    0 - 60 times?

    Wow, what's with the hostile tone? 0-60 times are a cool measurement, but what they don't show is who wins a street race at a stoplight. A WRX will not run with a GT even with the same 0-60 time. Extreme example - Car A can do 0-55 in 1 second, and 55-60 in 5 seconds. That's 0-60 in 6...

    0 - 60 times?

    I don't think Ford, or any company, usually announces things like that. But yeah, it's 5.4-5.6. Don't get wrapped up in 0-60 times - it says little about the outcome of a race and it doesn't discriminate against rice burners with decent horsepower and no torque. A WRX pulling the same 0-60...

    Take a look at the GT DESTROYER

    Did he just say that a 300 hp Mustang with those tires did a 12 second 1/4 mile? Running with a Dodge Viper is quite an accomplishment for a naturally aspirated V6 with cat-back exhaust and little more. Isn't it illegal to lie about an item for sale? That's not running with GT's or even 2004...

    You're living in a bubble world where everyone has it as good or better than you do. I will try to protect what we have; you can bitch about not having enough and give it all up. At least you have a Mustang. That's cool.

    All human but not all living at the same standard. Are you willing to give up the stranglehold the USA has on the world if it means bringing everyone to a comparable level? Do you know how much your lifestyle would have to suffer to balance out the 1.2 billion Indians in their God-forsaken...

    PLEASE HELP!! 4.10/WRX question

    I'm 3-0 against WRX's from a standstill and about even from a roll. You need to remember where the V8 muscle cars always dominate, and that's torque. You have big torque and RWD - two major dragging advantages. I can't imagine an AWD or FWD outdoing you at the line if the power is at all...

    Thanks again drew. I agree with your logic. Integraholic, I'm going to guess that you're not a native-born American. You hate American workers, though you are one. So, if this was a conventional war and Japan had better fighter planes (like in WW2), you'd be on their side and say they...

    Thanks drew. That was the first reply that wasn't blindly insulting. I understand that foreign competition is a good influence on quality everywhere, though it does have detrimental effects on the jobless numbers in the US. Quality up, jobs HERE down. My problem is that slews of kids are...

    Wow, only one true American in this room besides me. TV's are made in Japan... this is true. But if you saw a display at Best Buy and there were several comparably priced TV's clearly marked as American and Japanese, I would hope you'd at least consider the American brand. Cars are...

    trade v6 for wrx?

    How about this? WRX... It's foreign. It looks ridiculous. It makes you a ricer whether you like it or not. It has comparable mileage to a GT but requires premium gas. It truly is NOT faster than a Mustang GT at the line. How can you people be supporting this? Is this stangnet.com? I...

    We're newbes because we haven't been members of a car forum as long as you? What great seniority you have over me since you've been a member for two years! I'm sorry, sir! So you're saying you support foreign companies overtaking the US auto industry simply because some of the manual...

    Umm, Mustangs are built in Michigan. More importantly, Ford is an American company headquatered in America. Buying foreign cars does not support the country as a whole, period. At the Chicago auto show, the Evo's sign was bragging that it is 100% japanese. Well, so are the people who buy...

    Subaru

    Well, like an economy car, it has 4 doors and a 4 cylinder engine. They put a dumb wing on it, a huge turbo, and put pink lettering all over it. Oh, and the intercooler was strategically placed directly above the engine, lol. Economy cars have 4 cyls. If a 4 cyl is more potent than an 8 cyl...

    Who me? It's still a WRX, and I'm ripping on the appearance and japanese-ness of it. STI is simply a better version of the same car, like a Cobra to a GT. I think the STI looks even more ridiculous. The whole idea of modding an economy car seems stupid to me. WRX's don't look any more like...

    I agree, the WRX's are the most hideous looking vehicles ever to be called "sports cars." They are nothing more than economy cars with huge turbos and improved suspension. It is a car for rice boys who do not want to rice up their cars on their own. Plus, they are foreign and you have to be a...
