I don't want to rain on your parade, but hoods are made to crumple. This is to absorb force. In an accident, just because one car is more banged up than the other doesn't mean it's not built well. This also works conversely. Just because one car hardly had a dent doesn't mean it's better built...

If it's brand new out of the factory the paint sometimes itsn't fully cured. Honda told my wife to wait 1-2 months before any real washing or waxing to let the paint and clearcoat harden fully. I've heard similar things from other dealers.

There's a reason every other car out there uses IRS. It is superior, there is no denying that. You don't think it's tough? The original AM General Hummer used a fully independent suspension. Not good in a straight line? The Corvette has been using IRS since the 60's and has always been a fast...

I just got through reading my latest MotorTrend and learned some information about the 2014 Stang. A "senior Ford engineer working on the all-new 2014 model was asked about losing the solid rear axle and quoted: "We don't see any end to it. It's robust, we understand it, and we can keep it...

Well, we got what we wanted....painted mirrors. Apparently we paid for it in unpainted rocker panels!!! WTF gives Ford? I thought I was looking at the V6 model....but I guess not. First thing's first.....get a 2010 Mustang add aftermarket side skirts. :notnice:

After picking up and readin my latest MotorTrend magazine (Nov), and reading the article on the BASE Camaro, the Mustang looks like it's about to be dethroned. The base V6 Camaro sports a 3.6L V6 with OVER 300HP a 6-speed manual, and a 6speed paddleshifter, and netting 19/27mpg. The BASE car...

I don't think the scene is dying at all, just growing up. You don't see the huge wings, the altezza lights, the fartcans, and stickers anymore because people are growing up and realizing that part is rediculous. I know many people whom I work with that are still heavily into the import...

Ford seems to have a track record with releasing an "all new" car with the same ol' engine, then a year or so later releasing it with the engine it should have come with. It happened with the 500/Taurus, going to happen with the new Fusion, is happening with the 2010 Mustang, and is going to...

Another must is to set aside money for your speeding tickets. :nice:

Ok fine. But anyway you hack it, my first statement that you challenged still stands true, that the Camaro was priced with the Mustang. As far as bang for the buck, if you use hp per dollar the Z28 convertible (the most expensive one) is $96.50 per 1hp, the Mustang GT vert is $104.69 per...

I hate to do this to you but shut up and put down your BS flag: For 2002, The base coupe lists for $18,080, the convertible for $26,075. Z28 models retail for $22,495 for the coupe, and $29,590 for the Z28 convertible. - Autotrader.com...

The Z28s were prices right there with the GTs. They were never the "expensive buy." The real scary thing is the new Camry V6 with 268hp runs 0-60 in 5.8 and the 1/4 mile in 14.3. That dangerously close and thats with an automatic. If Toyota can do it witht the everyman car, why can't Ford do...

I'm so frustrated with Ford's redesigns never including new engines. I was ready for the 2010 Mustang to get around 350 or so hp maybe even a 5.0, but no. According to the article on the homepage ithe same engines carry over. yay...

So does this mean the 2009 stang wont have the restyling we've been hoping for, or are those pics of the CDC glassroof?

I would go: 1. CAI/Tuner 2. Exhaust 3. U/L Control Arms 4. Gears 5. LTs 6. ??? retune after your mods for best results

Sooooo.....you're agreeing with me then??? :)

That "2010 Mustang" is not Ford's mustang. It's a concept that italian designer Giugairo came up with. the truth is no one really knows what Fords redesign will look like. some say it will take some cues from the Giugairo Mustang while staying retro. I read somewehre that all panels are...

I think Stangnet would GREATLY benifit from a DIY Section. A read-only thread where users can post their DIY's and have them stickied. Or, where a DIY thread can be moved to by admin. It would be a great reference for all users who love working on their own Mustangs. Many, many other car forums...

I got to ask...did you run get the camera before or after you dialed the fire department...:D p.s. that looks like a movie screenshot.

Print out the trade-in sheet from KBB and tell them this is the price you want or you are walking. There are other dealers that want your business.
