    Anyone use manual as daily driver?

    I have had 6 cars of which 5 where manual. The only auto was my 97 Mustang GT, I didnt know any better, which was very nice in bumper to bumper traffic. But after I got my Cobra and found out how nice a manual is I havent owned another Auto. Sometimes in bumper to bumper the clutch action can...

    Off Topic: 1/4 Mile of 350Z

    Last time I checked its not that lite, 3200 pounds is not really a light car. 04 mustang gt is 3350lbs. As for a guess probably low-mid 14's.

    2005 Cougar

    Its a shame that mercury made the messanger to tell people "heh we are here to stay" and yet they arent going to produce it. HMMMM message received loud and clear right there. All that aside I always liked the way the messanger concept looked and would buy it over a normal Mustang. Rarity...

    16 year old in a 2005??

    Jeff Gordon and many other people where racing professionally at 16 so I dont think without know this person anyone here can make a definative judgement on weither he would be responsible/able to handle the car. Probably the best thing would be to get your dad to buy the car with financing...

    I am 5'11'' and I have to have my seat way foward with my legs sort of cocked at a angle to be able to get a good postition for shifting. It is either that or sit a normal distance away from the stearing wheel/pedals and **** my body to the right so that I can get a good grip on the shifter...

    GTR - 40 Pics

    Its the new Supra Cobra R and I imigine that it will not be street legal in that form. It is a race car so the wing should be entirely functional. Its not about looking hot on the track, its about keeping your car on the track.

    What does Japan think?

    Actually having a 460hp blown cobra, with long tube headers, in italy is a bit of a trip. On the highway it is great to have power whenever you need it and in town it is really amusing how many people literly stop what they are doing and watch you drive by in your car. Best thing a bout a...

    Turbo V-6

    In my mind this is the what keeps Ford from building a turbo v-6 MUSTANG. When I think of Mustangs I think of torquey (sp) v8's that sound awesome and perform well in the straight line. Could Ford build a world class turbo v6, probably, but it wouldnt sell in the form of a mustang. I would...

    Something to considor while waiting for 05

    If I had that kind of money I wouldnt even think about placing a bid unless I talked to the factory and got assurances that they would rebuild it for me and would do the regular services when they were required. People saying that rich people dont think about that much money are half right...

    Need help finding EEC

    I just got a new chip from Fordchips and I cant find the EEC on my 96 cobra. I though they where in the passanger side under the carpet but mine does not appear to be there. Checking on the Fordchip site it says that they can be in different locations. Anyone have any idea?

    2005 Mustang....good for Chevrolet?

    Good for chevy? No The new mustangs (assumed) build quality, interior, power, and suspension are not good for chevy. If you are asking will the Camero make a comeback then the answer is yes. Chevy needs to find a way to make the f body more profitable, and that will probably mean platform...
