    Thinking bout an '11 (5.0 vs GT500)

    If I've read correctly, a lot of the things in last year's track pack are either standard or part of the Brembo package. Basically, the Brembo package takes the place of the track pack for the GT

    Rebates on the 2005 Mustang?

    HAHA....some of you are fools. Lets see anyone has a "I gotta friend that did this" STFU. For one, buying American cars is totally different than buying Imports. Imports rarely have rebates, discounts, sales, and other cost lowering deals. Especially a limited run car or a car like sports...

    2007, the Mustang will have Competition, Camaro is Alive AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's a new war and I can't wait to join. Competition makes everyone better. Hopefully the keep the LS2 far away from this one though, or forced induction is the only way the stang will keep up. Oh and the Camaro Z28 and Vette are very close in power and straight line performance. Both had...

    What we figured I would pay for my 05!

    I have a connect for X-plan. My question is can I use my Military discount in conjunction with the X-plan discount. I was under the interpretation that I couldn't. Do you have any info on this?

    Dyno numbers from a 5.4 3V

    You could pile 10,000 lbs worth of weight in the pickup bed and it wouldn't effect the trucks dyno numbers. It's measured at the wheel and the only thing that will effect the engines numbers are driveline loss. I doubt the truck was on a 4wd dyno either.

    auto or manual fastest?

    Who said auto's were faster in the old days? .5 seconds in drag racing is an eternity. I'm not an LS1 guy, so please tell me if when I have false information, but I do talk to a few of them. On the message boards, most of the fastest guys are running autos. In the 6 speed, when you start...

    auto or manual fastest?

    Don't get me wrong. I'm purchasing a stick, and I'll probably never own an automatic vehicle. I was just pointing out some things about different automatics. Which in some cases have an advantage over a manual. However this won't be the case on the new GT or most of the cars that most of us...

    auto or manual fastest?

    RICKS, I think I explained what you just said in this post. I even said in my last post that the F1 tranny takes the best of both worlds. Never once did I say an F1 is a traditional automatic. It is an automatic transmission though. I also said that in most of todays production cars, manuals...

    July 18, 2004 Top Gear - Ford GT

    Huh? Those cars are priced twice as much and have half the performance. The Viper is closer in performance, price, and similarities. Who said the Ford was meant to compete with the GT3 and a Stradale? A magazine? I'm glad you know how to reiterate a magazine article. I read that one too...

    2005 Mustang or Subaru WRX STi

    Listen, this is coming from an import guy. A stock 03 GT, from a roll would murder a stock WRX. From a dig it would be a little different if the race were short. The WRX falls on its ass in the higher speeds. The 03 GT with the mods that you speak of should be able to keep up with a stock...

    auto or manual fastest?

    Sorry dude, but your wrong. If you read my whole post you would know that I said most transmissions that are available in todays production cars are slower. However there are "some" performance advantages with an automatic transmission. With an automatic and a big stall, you can launch a car...

    July 18, 2004 Top Gear - Ford GT

    Why can't a Viper compete with the Ford GT? They are both American made, they both have high displacement and both are neck and neck in performance. I don't think there's a closer competitor to the GT than the Viper. Also, why isn't the Viper a super car?

    It's Official!

    I'm an import man that loves technologically advanced cars. I've always had a guilty pleasure of loving most GT's and Cobras. Except for the 94-99's, and never had I wanted a Stang more than the 05. I'm convinced and I haven't even driven it yet. As far as the solid rear axle, Ford stayed...

    auto or manual fastest?

    Is this a joke? Have you ever driven a manual, while understanding whats going on inside that transmission? There are performance advantages to automatic over manual gearboxes but your claims are not making sense. When you say long clutch pedal travel....do you mean that the length is...

    auto or manual fastest?

    Translation, if you're making to much torque, like most mulletmobiles, and don't have the skills to put the power down, then you'll definitely need a automatic gearbox. mulletmobile= any random ****box that has way to much torque and no way to put the power down. Usually tuned by joe-schmoe...

    Saleen, Steeda, Roush, Boss

    I have a picture of a "Steeda GT". I suppose its a photochop, but its a damn good one. I don't know how to host a picture though. So if you guys could show me how to do that I could post the pic.

    Shifter too close to dash?

    4 inches of room is plenty. I was about to get worked up over nothing. I just wanted the opinion of someone that had their hands on it. Do you think it will block any of the controls on the center stack?

    2005 Automatic GT Suppose It's Possible????

    Everyone has got their I saw one car do this. I'm not doubting that. Is the 01 before the HP increase? I thought 02's and up were the "PI" motors. I find it hard to believe a 240hp 3400lb car is hitting 12's. I guess it's all launch. What were his 60fts. The majority of people won't...
