    Tried that, nothing happened I went through thr process above, and NOTHING happened. I just crunhed away, redirected me back to the list of attached files, and none of them were deleted at all. (there was some error at the top of the page) What can I do!??!?!?! I have an AWESOME PIC...

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

    display I was at the Media preview for the Detroit show, and the car will NOT be open for the mass public show. The car is on the same turntable that the concept was on. :( LA show might be different though.

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

    Bolstering The side bolsters were great, but the lowers seemed a bit small. You sink in the seats alright, but they seem a bit shallow? I would have to drive the car to see how they feel then, I was just so amazed that I could get behind the display on press days and sit in it, I did...

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

    Back seats I did not actually GET In to the back seat, but they looked like they were MUCH more roomy than the current ones. THe buckets in teh rear were deeper into the floor, and the room behind the front seats seemed better. I am about to have kids in the next year, and I am still...

    The $20K V8 thread

    Still a bargain. It's probably more like $28K max, but that is with ALL the boxes checked. The GT will probably be more than all of us are hoping for at $26K :)

    The $20K V8 thread

    The V8 is NOT $20K...trust me. I was there when the announcer messed up the presentation, he was an F150 presenter practicing on the Mustang in case of a problem, and he said "the new Mustang will start under $20K and with the new 300hp V8 available, its a great deal" That sent some press guys...

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

    Man... I have never seen a Mustang look soooooo good! I was able to get to the Autoshow on the press days, and got to SIT IN the 05 Mustang! Let me just say, this has only cemented my desire for the car! I am TALL at 6'2" and easily 225 lbs (a bit bigger than the average bear, but not fat)...

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

    PS. One more item. There is a reason that the Cougar does not exist anymore :), and why Ford stock price was at $7.. I think the Mustang is a wise investment, and smart strategically. Peace

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

    Last post on Fogs: If you note, the parabola VOLUME is most likely larger, and irregularly shaped, as well, the bulbs ARE a bit different, and the price variances are in the $.03-$.15 range. Sounds like peanuts to us and our one car, but when you multiply that out over a say, 250K production...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    OK Equivalent. I can spell, just can't type. The point still remains, stuffing a V10 that is 2" longer into a wall makes for much less crush space, and to re-iterate a point ealier in the thread, todays cars manage crush space down to thousanths of an inch. There isn't much room in today's...

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

    You just made my argument: "they use the same bulbs as the older models with larger reflectors)" The reflector (or parabola as it is called in the industry) is what grows when older lamp/bulb technology is used, hence the larger fog lamps on the production GT than the concept. Look a...

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

    Hello all. This is my first post, but I am a LONG time Mustang fan, previous owner, and pending 05 owner. Having grown up in Dearborn, and now working for a large firm as a designer and previous engineer (at a big three outfit I will not mention here) I can tell you exactly what happened to the...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    1) The POINT is.... DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW MOTOR FOR CAR CAFE. THe truck motor is VERY DIFFERENT than the "Boss 351 V10" which would incur the cost of a new motor development, regardless if the parts are off the shelf. 2-3) They can do it for truck because they developed the...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    Yeah, but remember, there are still a LOT of Expeditions, the Lightning, now the GT, etc that with the ever escalating Hp numbers come a descending CAFE balance, and my point was that truck and car are SEPARATE CAFE standards, so bringing a V10 into the already tipped car CAFE may cause iseues...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    V10 Costs are more than parts boys. Just a newbie here, but with inside industry experience, I can tell you that the cost of a engine development goes far beyond "adding two cylinders" 1) CAFE - A V10 is a HUNGRY engine (displacment = fuel) Now the corporation has to account for...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    Vanquish Ummm... its a V12, NOT A V10..... those two cylinders put the primal balance of the engine in a "harmonically balanced" category, accounting for the nice lope. V10 would have a hard time sounding that good, and still remain refined.

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    V8 sounds rule, especially 5.0L I AGREE! The Viper has a V10... what a dissapointing sound! I can remember in high scholl having my 83 GT 5.0L, and besting a Viper in sound quality :nice: V10 motors are like 7 fingers on a hand, they just dont make sense! The harmonic balance of a V8...
