    Is this a Problem?

    Then, yes, good investment. But, 99% of all car buyers these days turn them over in 3-5 years. Taking that into consideration, a car purchase is an expense, not an investment. Very few vehicle go up in value in the short term. I think that is what the other forum member is saying. In...

    Verts

    Prices will posted on the website on or about January 31, 2005, which is when they start building them. I already ordered a vert at the dealer, but Fords order banks for them are not open yet, so it's unofficial. I negotiated the deal as "500 over invoice." The order banks should open up around...

    Sign from God?

    Historically speaking, about $3,500 more than the Coupe.

    300 rwhp with tune????

    Exactly! So many people do not understand Octane and continually run improper fuels. Mostly because of marketing; this fuel cleans that, this fuel does that, buy the more expensive premium cause it's better. The fact is, 99 out of 100 people have no idea what Octane is. They think it's a new...

    06/07 Mustang SVT

    I think you are talking about the 6.2L Hurricane that is in development. If so, there is no way that will be in the Cobra. My guess is the 5.4... at best. The Hurricane may end up in a limited production Cobra R or something, but in the regular SVT, I highly doubt it.

    Quality of the 2005 Paint

    If you want the orange peel gone, take it to a body shop and have them wetsand it. Then re clear it. Not he cheapest option, but if it bugs you that much, that's the best you can do. Save repainting the whole car.

    The ricer is not driveable, so if it's not towed in the morning, I will snap some pics of it.

    Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera. So, I can't post pics of the ricer. But when I get home I will post pics of my car. There is barely any damage. It's amazing. And, I didn't cry simply because, after all, it's a car. It can be replaced. I'm alive. I won't go and get an 05 coupe...

    That's what I said! I'm just glad my car won the fight! In retrospect, it is quite comical, isn't it?

    2005 Mustang Wrecked

    Can anyone confirm this event since there are no pics?

    Sign from God?

    Well, as some of you know, I ordered a 2005 GT Vert a while back. Although, since the order banks aren't open on the verts, it is unofficial. However, I may have to reconsider and get a coupe due to the fact that one of my Mustangs, my 1999 GT Vert Daily Driver, got a bit impatient and decided...

    A possibility?

    Why are you upset that Ford S/C'es the Cobra? I think it's great. If you want considerably more performance than a GT and want to maintain your warranty. a Ford S/C Cobra is ideal. Granted, many enthusiasts would much prefer to put the S/C of their choice on and buy the Cobra platform for the...

    Shaker 500 - Where is Everything?

Navigation, DVD and the rear view camera alone is quite a few cables.. not to mention, requiring you to pull apart a good part of the interior. Believe me, I know. I've comepted in the professional circuit for many years and...

    Shaker 500/1000 problem update

    The odd thing about this problem is that it's not a NEW head unit. The Mustang is new, yes, but the head unit has been around for close to two years. Why the problem now? Maybe something else is going on, like a voltage problem to the unit, or a bad relay.

    O.K. here are some new 05 vert pics.

    None of the Mustangs come with anything but glass windows in the verts now. No, there is no pop-up roll bar. Yes, the top comes in other colors: Medium Parchment (shown), black and white.
