    What is the weight of a 05+ Mustang after...

    Is there any reference as to the weight of components within the 05+ Mustang out there? I'm trying to get a baseline idea of a completely stripped stang as far as removing the engine, exhaust system, radiator, and gas tank, but still retaining the tranny and suspension parts. Any ideas?

    What wheel size suits you?

    This arguement is always being discussed on various forums I frequent. So I thought I'd, why not poll our StangNet members and get a good idea as to which size is most popular on the new Mustang. There are lots of reasons for peoples choice, but the biggest I see is for the 'rice' issue...

    Headlight bulbs conversion to HID? What model headlight bulbs is the new Mustang using? I ask because I'm curious about modding it to HIDs in the future once I get mine, and I've been able to find a manufacturer, but am not sure yet if they are compatable. :nice:

    Can anyone supply a guestimate on just how much boost the GT V-8 might be able to handle? Obviously, we won't know real numbers till fall of this year, but basing in on current 5.0 Mustangs, what do you figure the new Mustang V-8 might be able to handle? I've seen 4-bangers handle upwards of...

    How soon before we get the official 'Juicy' info from Ford?

    These boards are great to temporarily soothe our need for news concerning information on the new Mustang. But how soon can we expect to hear real numbers from the 'horse's mouth'? :stupid: I mean, we all obviously would like to know. How soon after Ford's public unveiling's, does it...

    Which Stang are you going for? The V-6 or the V-8?

    I ask this question because, for some its a matter of budget, for others, its a matter of how much you can mod each engine. For some, suprisingly, its even a matter of gas milage. :rlaugh: Just curious to get an overall feel for people's taste's on this forum. I myself will most likely...
