    Trading in for 05: The ugly topic of resale value

    Driving an Audi and thinking of a 03 Cobra? C'mon a 400 Lexus is my daily driver and when I crawl into my friend's 98 Cobra I feel like I've been put in a coffee grinder on full blast. If I want to be abused like that after spending 30K, I'll get in my old windsor drag fox and do it for 5K, or...

    GOT TO SIT IN IT... and TAKE PICS!

    R.I.P. 94-2004 Interior. Buying a 2004 Mustang is not something even Beavis or Butthead would do now. Sucks to be a Mustang salesman until September...

    05 and 06 Cobra / SVT Team

    Carol Shelby is making the Shelby Cobra again (2 seat 600 hp) with Ford Factory backing/production. That was announced Monday at the Detroit Auto show. The SVT Mustang will most likely be what we knew as the Cobra Mustang according to my Detroit sources (summer golfing friends.) They said a...

    End of Cobra Mustangs

    I was at the Detroit Auto Show today for the unveiling of the Ford Cobra. The Carol Shelby two seat, 600 horsepower one. News from the other executives is that the Cobra name will be exclusive to the Carol Shelby car and the Mustang will be the SVT Mustang. Cobra will be dropped from the...

    Why a dissapointment - I say the new Mustang is a winner!

    Sondesign, kudos for an involved, articulate post. Obviously you are an engineer. Why? You spelled words correctly if they were related to engineering. Regular every day words were butchered. I still remember my college English professor telling all of us Strenth of Materials and Physics...

    05 PRESS PICS AND MORE!!!!!!!!!

    We've really gone back to the sixties haven't we? Notice how kind of blah the red car looks in the real world photo? I mean even at the low angle the pic was taken it says "Hi I'm a rental car! Spend 5,000 on a kit and I might look as good as a Corvette!" C'mon I'm gonna wait for a special...

    just noticed something about the interior

    :owned: I'm gonna get my ass handed to me for this one, but you have to remember who buys the vast majority of these V-6 Mustangs, ahem, women. Yes I know it seems cheap and tacky to us, but my girlfriend changes her nail color at LEAST three times a week. The first thing she noticed about...

    Concept vs. Production photos

    I started another thread a week ago saying how it would be a neat concept for a company to offer a "concept" version or aero kit of/for the production car. It seems like you guys have proven how easy it would be to get most of the concept cues on a production example. Nice work!

    Will we see a 2005 Mach 1?

    Tylers65, I've driven the Maurauder, my accountant has one. It is a neat concept but still drives a lot like cop car with white gauges for a helluva lot more money than a crown vic should. My girlfriend leased Caddy CTS and it is a nice chassis but gutless. Wait until they re-engine it...

    Tuner '05 Concept Kit

    Husker, Nearly everyone who orders a specialty car gives a huge deposit or paid in full deposit to guarantee color, delivery and availability, sometimes six months to a year before they are released for retail sale. Do you think the Ford Brass that lives in my community does not demand the...

    Tuner '05 Concept Kit

    Yea, but my neighbor has two Ferrari Modenas. He could not decide between deep blue or Ferrari Red. This patient of mine (Dentistry) has a paid in full order to Ford for a GT (125+ grand GT not the Mustang.) My 17 year old neighbor has a 98 Cobra made into a 2000 clone and complains about his...

    2005 interior pic...

    :banana: J-turns! J-turns galore!!!! Can you guess how freakin' easy it will be to slip into a nice J-turn (180 degree axle slide) on a wet or snowy parking lot or when a cop or ex-husband is chasing you? Finally the e-brake is in the right spot! :banana:

    Tuner '05 Concept Kit

    I was thinking that a Tuner kit or Saleen/Steeda turn-key type Mustang that takes an '05 body and makes it look like the Concept Mustang (silver one everyone seemed to love) would probably do pretty well with people looking for a unique but still pure Mustang ride. Not all of the concept...

    Awesome photoshop pics

    Holy F'in crap! Someone needs to walk those over to Ford and punch them in the face if they don't hire you RIGHT now. All those schemes are so dead on to the theme of those particular Mustang versions. Nice work... ...I want the Bullit one. The SVT one looks a lot like a Countach (Lambo)...

    Hot Rod /Motor Trend Threads In here

    Yep, it's not talked about much, but used Mustangs are hard to get your money out of right now. My friend's 98 modified Cobra runs like crap and squeeks and rattles over every bump. 4.11's and 18's are vicious (horrible) on city streets. The 05 is going to be closer to the Lexus 300/Lincoln...

    Hot Rod /Motor Trend Threads In here

    Here in Detroit, the Mustangs that are on the Dealer Lots are sitting for months. The factory guys (line and management) all are telling their friends and neighbors to not even CONSIDER buying the old model Mustang. Wait for the 05's is the major buzz around here. I took my buddies over...
