    Goodyear Eagle #1 NASCAR

    You can get them Ricer's flavor with the big yellow letters or the more subtle version without it. Never mind, I took a look on several web sites and it looks like they suck big time. The rate average on everything... I'm wondering why these are called performance tires... I guess because...

    Driving a stick...

    Ok... If you just learning, here is what you need to know, no magic into that : On flat : upshift when you engine rev high (RPMs depend on you driving style, but the sooner you shift, the more fuel economy you get), downshift when you need more acceleration (torque, if you want to overpass for...

    what to look for when buying a classic ?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a classic Mustang, preferably a coupe of the early years. I'm ona budget, but not a mechanic, which means I can afford neither a fully restorated one nor a project. Can I get a decent driver for around $5k ? And what should I be careful of ? I know of the rust...

    Ya but if it is really a bother, just let us vent off that we don't like it... the more you guys answer by saying it's shame we don't like it, the longer the thread stays on top of the board... Tyler65, if you would kindly delete that thread, I won't mind or cry "censorship"... I'm getting...

    FYI "PowerBoss" is a member of this forum, who makes long and detailed responses by dissecting each post in many "quotes". So, if I understand you well, I can go in the tech forums to say my engine is running great but I can't go there and discuss a problem I have with it... is that what you...

    ok. I expected a car that would make my heart beat as other models did. Happy ? see Ricks post, to which mine was a response... sure... if true all cars would look like the Ford T... If you knew the german cars from the mid to late 80's you would see it. :D I'm sorry.... I...

    I did not expect anything : I see it and I don't like it. I don't see what's futuristic in that interior. I do not see any new technology (oups... I'm sorry I forgot the instrument light colors changing...). I do not see any little thing that is a new design. If futuristic is mixing elements of...

    I agree with Jim... I think the new Mustang is neither a modern car, nor a retro car... I think it's a missed one... I'm going to be looking for a early model now that I see what the new one is...

    I did not say the old interior was not outdated... the 90's are gone... but the 80's too. Change is good when you go foreward... Am I the only one that remember the 80's ??? This is so typical of nowdays and you see it in clothings everywhere... welcome back to the 80's.... I hope we won't have...

    Speaking of sheetmetal, anyone knows what is the material used... because if it is metallic paint on plastic, that is going to scream "cheap" really loud... Sorry guys, I don't want to seem bitter or to spoil the fun of those of you who like it, but I'm just so disappointed... I maintain...

    I'm sorry but... The interior of the 05 is so german it's becoming funny. The GT looks like a cheap BMW and the V6 looks like a japanese copy of the GT... :mad: Great american icon... :nonono:

    2005 interior pic...

    Anyone who thinks like me that the simplicity of the Mustang interior was a great thing. I just feel like the new one is overdone... but I guess there might be different options to make it look simpler... beside aftermarket

    Reminds me of the interior of the VW Golf 2. Welcome to the 80's... I think it looks cheap with all that "chrome"... :(
