    GTO,CHARGER quicker the the STANG

    Trans Am Good Looking? I guess the trans am might look meaner in some strange way. Maybe if I were doing burnouts in the high school parking lot I would think that a trans am looked "meaner". If you had said the camaro looked better I might agree w/ you, depending on the year in question...

    Are fewer people coming to the forums?

    one reason is that everyone posts a lot while waiting for their new stang, and then when they get it they quit posting as much. As for myself I tried to switch from wk e-mail to home e-mail and it has been a hassle to get back on. Now when I try to post a reply I have to completely log back...

    Sorrily sold my Mustang

    05Retro-you may be on to something about the desireability of an impractical car. I'm 48, and I've got a 3 year old to haul around so the stang isn't the most practical car for me, but that's what makes it so much fun. I think people envy that when they look at someone driving a stang...

    Thief Passes on New Stang

    Yeah--I'm afraid it's in pieces by now. I've heard the stat about being #1 stolen car, but one that's 12 years old ? Now I have to put the miles on the stang, not to mention my new fuel consumption level. I really enjoyed driving that little 4 banger because the stang felt so powerful...

    Thief Passes on New Stang

    Some scumbag decided to pass on my new stang in the carport w/ the top down, and instead took the time and effort to steal my locked 1993 Accord. Does this mean: 1) an old Accord is better than a new stang? 2) the alarm system in the stang strikes fear into...

    airbag stickers

    Whoa there 05Retro--My 3 year old would be heartbroken if I didn't let him ride in my stang anymore. When I pick him up at daycare his first question is "Did you drive your convertible daddy?" He rides in the backseat of course, but how else can we raise the next generation of stang lovers?

    Torn on which hood to go with...

    Kris-good choice. It looks like muscle w/o trying too hard. If in doubt go back to pix of the vert concept--it was a look of restrained modern muscle. That sounds like what you're leaning towards. Do we get a pre-Sema sneak preview of your baby?

    Sorrily sold my Mustang

    Maybe you see so many stangs because Arizona has a big rental market. I see very few stang verts like mine in Atlanta, but on a recent trip to Fla I saw them everywhere. I disagree on your seat objection; I'm 6'5" tall, and I fit great in the seats. The seats and fit have been one of the...

    Pics of my '06 Mustang GT Deluxe

    I love the Bullitt/McQueen look w/o the spoiler. The spoiler/wing looks too 69 mach one to me. I love that look on the 69, but it's just too retro on the 05/06. I ordered mine spoiler delete but it came w/ a spoiler anyway, so I made the dealer swap trunk lids to one w/ no spoiler. It's...

    Pics of my '06 Mustang GT Deluxe

    RandyB-you've got a nice garage! I really like the clean, spoilerless look. I'm curious--why is the 330 your daily driver? I think I would just alternate daily...Stang...Beemer...stang...beemer...

    Question for anyone that has an 05 convertible

    I haven't had any wind noise problems on mine. The exhaust seems louder w/ the top up than down--that seems strange, but I guess the wind carries the noise away when you're moving w/ the top down.

    Ricer from hell (Horribly off topic)

    Send that to Car & Driver for their 10 Best issue--they would definitely feature it in the 10 ugliest cars...

    Torn on which hood to go with...

    I vote for the RK Sport CD hood; that looks like the hood on the concept verts. I would like to add that hood to my vert.

    Dealer tells me I have to use Techron?

    Yeah, those corvette owners are so much more mature than us stangnetters. Go add techron for an electronic problem--they may be more mature, but they sure are gullible.

    Color and option questions

    The dark charcoal is pretty dark; it's not black, but it's close. I agree w/ you on the light colors showing dirt. I got the dark charcoal, and I've been pleased w/ it--I'm in Atlanta, and my stang is a vert, and the dark interior hasn't really bothered me unless I left the top down on a hot...

    My favorite thing about my new o5 V6 is...???

    I like the fit; I'm 6'5" tall and I fit great in this car. I was worried that w/ a clutch it might be a little tight, but no probelems. The seats are very good, and the shifter is well placed.

    Another Gt Goes Down - Defective Heads!!!

    Hmm; Let me see...you're saying that you were able to work it out thru normal channels ? Wow-what a novel idea. Talk; discuss; negotiate--that's what normal people do first. That's why your post threatening lawsuits ticked people off; like it or not many people have the perception that...

    Conspiracy Theory

    What about the story out of Germany that they believe America is responsible for the hurricane because of our unwillingness to do more to reduce global warming? I guess that would mean that it's our government's fault, which means it's W's fault, which means he is so powerful he can control...

    Katrina Relief - Please consider helping!!

    Great idea Big-Foot--I just went to the link and made a contribution. Let's all send as much $ as we can. It could just as easily be us, and I/m sure there are plenty of us who are affected directly or have family and friends there.

    Red Fire or Vista Blue

    I have redfire, and I like it, but have to agree w/ Dubl10. It's the dark color that makes them hard to keep clean, so the problem will probably be the same w/ VB or redfire. I don't believe either color is near as hard to keep clean as black though.
