Take it from me - keep your headrests up in their correct position--- I got rear ended back in '88. I was in a '85 Mitsubishi Champ hatchback, stopped at a red light. I had removed the headrests cuz I thought it looked better that way. A 77 y.o. drove right into the back of my car at only...

I wouldn't poo poo the 3V heads yet - Mercedes loves them and.... Merc engines have pretty good specific output, not to mention Merc can put as many valves as they want in their heads since they're in the high end market. In fact, Audi's been using five valve heads on some of their engines...

Well put - and I'll add something to your definition of a sport car... I'll say the RX8 is a true sports car because of one more important delineator - it's built low to the ground. The handling feel and ride motions are going to feel way different than the Mustang, which, as you point out, is...

I thought a few months ago it was said that prices would increase only slightly... Wasn't there a thread somewhere with text from Ford saying there would be very slight price increases, something like a couple hundred bucks?...

Thanks for the non-flamey response. But, I really think the live axle, despite what Ford sez about the focus groups demanding it, is back because its cheeper to make. Maybe the car is better at drags if it has a live axle, but I really don't think enough everyday drivers would prefer the...

Good points as well but I hear the flooding issue is greatly exaggerated.. I've been hanging out at RX8Club for awhile and while yes, some people are reporting flooding, it doesn't seem to be a deal killer for the car, and though I don't know about the numbers on your poll, the consensus at the...

"What he said", 'cept the ducktail spoiler... If they just rework the tail light surround so it's not that rectangular looking flat surface, and maybe put a subtle little kick up at the rear end to approximate a rear spoiler with having one tacked on, they'll just about fully realize the...

It's actually a great question, if you're an open-minded enthusiast... I've previously owned a first gen RX7 and an '88 LX 5.0. I currently drive a BMW 325is that needs replacing. The current Mustang, to me, has too much NVH and is a little too unsophisticated in its design. Don't flame - I...

Wait a minute about dissing R & T... I have no problem with your not liking the mag - that's a personal opinion, and you're entitled to it. However, Road and Track is an excellent magazine, well respected world-wide, and is also the oldest US car enthusiasts' magazine. It's quality of writing...

Dark silver, chevy truck blue, with brown leather I know, CTB is blasphemous but it's a great color. Audi has a great dark gray (not metallic) with orange/brown baseball glove leather.
