    i've got poor spatial cognitive skills

    i just don't want to scratch/dent the new car; no problem with my 67 or 61. all the old cars have a raised edge or some feature on the nose. the 05 is smooth and rolls down shaped like an egg. have you guys actually autocrossed the 05 yet? can u see the cones as u get close? i don't see how...

    i've got poor spatial cognitive skills

    had to drop out of flight school as i just couldn't land the damn things. Once i almost clipped a pole! Kudos to you all that can park the 05 stang. i sat in 2 at my dealer and i could not tell where the front was. i figure i could mount flags at each corner, but, i think i would get laughed...

    numb steering? easy way to get better road feel

    yes i did this in 84 on a then new fiero. you are right about bad balance showing up. i'd rather get a good balance than cover up a bad job. i've read reports that the 05 stang has numb steering, and i know the feeling.(pun). It looks like a shock absorber, attached to the steering. It...

    numb steering? easy way to get better road feel

    Cure: remove the steering damper.(it's there to isolate the driver for a luxury car feel, but sport car drivers WANT road feel, at least i do)

    eopionion.com review - Can you believe this guy?

    believe him i just tested a v6 and he is right the steering is heavy! 8.5# vs. 4.5# in my 67. too much pain with tennis elbow. Also forward visability is awful compared to my 67. i can see my 67's headlight doors on both sides. the 05 is blind as my 72 vette. this is progress? The rear 1/4...

    with a SC a pulley change will put it over 500 hp. a guy has 631 RWHP in PHH. for me mid 11's is fast enough

    My GT is here (PIC)

    i'd check it over on a lift before payment. Linkage is minor but what did they smash to get to it?

    How can they do this?

    how do u know that truckload is not all sold? do u have a VIN? dealers often order sold cars and then sell them to others for more $$$$$. it is a way of life. u need a VIN to protect yourself

    CanadianDriver 2005 mustang review

    it's real easy to have poor alignment on IRS. i've chewed up 2 sets of tires and spun out due to it being out. There is camber that's pretty easy but the rear toe is a PITA.

    things to check on a test drive

    does anyone think the new stang will ride as smooth as my 67? it doesn't have to, but i am curious. my 67 has a live axle. The back seat test isn't for me(Duh), i take my aging parents for groceries once a week. can they climb out?, that's the test. body too plain? on my 67 all 4 corners are...

    things to check on a test drive

    good comments guys! my checklist is to see if those things bother ME. i drive a 67 gaxaxie so comparisons to old stangs dont help ME. i once cut the turning radius from 42 to 30' on a 84 fiero. renting a v6 is a great idea,i may try that too.

    things to check on a test drive

    based on reports coming in, here is my check list. 1. wide turning radius? 2. poor rear visibility? 3. crummy rear seat? 4. bouncy ride on bumpy roads? 5. tires noisey at speed? 6. body too plain? :cheers:
