14" steelies and some soft drag rubber.

A/C removed makes a noticeble difference over A/C turned off? I guess maybe there's still the pulley causing extra belt friction?

So you think they are going to LOWER the MSRP later on? I doubt that.

They are probably right, the market for coupes is small. Look at the GTO. 13.2s, 6-speed, under $30K, and yet they do not sell. I know people will argue the looks, but I firmly believe that's not the problem. Ugly cars sell, I see them all over the streets. Coupes do not sell, I say...

Yeah, the Mustang is not the only porker. That's true for everyone. Just the nature of the industry these days. Not much can be done. As for the Mustang's 300-hp, I think what they're doing is awesome. They're goal is a solid, reliable car that can also remain a good value. The Mustang...

Was manually shifting ever considered better at the strip? :)

$26K already. That's more than my preferred GT priced out on Ford.com. :)

Assuming we're talking a REAL shaker hood, that's AWESOME.

500-hp blown 5.4 Cobra for CHEAP? Yeah right. They would probably have the new Lightning on the slate for release already if it was cheap and easy to throw out warrantied 500-hp S/C 5.4s.

So the 13.2 GTO time is tossed and the 13.4 GT time is tossed. Right? :)

I've seen a babyseat in the back of a 911. Graduated from sports car to family hauler.

I actually prefer the dash without all the "aluminum accents".

There's also a timeslip from a 2004 GTO that ran 13.186 with a 2.0 60' time. With a better launch, that is nearly a 12 second car. And that is the "old" GTO. The "new" GTO gets another 50-hp and 30-tq beyond the 2004s. So do not compare the "best" Mustang GT times with "so-so" GTO times. :)

Uhm, if you break in a car correctly, it's going to last much longer. Now I see what I prefer to buy cars new and ones with on mileage.

I want a clean car. :) That is why I love the old notchbacks. No spoilers. No ground effects. Just a clean, simple car that hauls butt.

The 2005 production is being cut because they are moving ahead the production date for the 2006s. No need to build 2005s while you are building 2006s. I think the initial dealer mark-up that went around scared off too many buyers. The car really is a bargain after all the rebates. Hell...

Definately nicer withOUT the spoiler. Looks cleaner.

Assuming 1) the gearing is the same and 2) the auto will actually shift okay. With torque management and modern electronics, it is very possible that the auto is going to shift like grandma to save drivetrain wear and tear. Assuming the auto actually does shift good, my money is on the auto.

I need to see some with and without pictures side-by-side...

Cable shifter and hydraulic clutch on the GTs now, right?
