    06 SVT Mustang Cobra Spotted !!

    What's obvious to one isn't always obvious to another. Ever proof a paper over and over and swear it was perfect, only to have someone else read it to find an obvious error? We'll see, but I'm still saying photoshop.

    06 SVT Mustang Cobra Spotted !!

    lol, if you have pictures, post them. You don't. Your friend's friend doesn't. This is one of the more obvious photoshops, but people just can't let it go. Suit yourself.

    first ever undercarriage rear end/suspension shot of the 05 mustang

    I just saw the 2005 a few days ago and it really did not look like it needed to be lowered at all. It sits pretty low.

    so what's up with the rear-view mirrors?

    I honestly kind of like them black, because they do not distract from the rest of the profile from a sideview. Maybe painted black even. I could see it either way.

    2004 vs 2005

    First, I am a bit partial to hardtops, and like convertibles when I am on a vacation. Having just had the opportunity to sit in a real 2005 Mustang today in San Diego, and seeing it right up against all other Mustangs from the 60's to the now, I would vote for the 2005. The only way I could...

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    First, good post lddavis73. Second, 70's, 80's, 00's, whatever, "ricer" is still a somewhat derogatory term aimed at asians and import cars. It falls right in the category with rednecks and wetbacks. No matter how anyone tries to justify it, it does nothing to help the American car scene.

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    This is still an unbalanced comparison. If we are talking about Imports with factory Turbos, we should be comparing them to a 2005 with a Supercharger. Those are the true comparison numbers, especially considering the price difference. Plus, we are all basing handling on past experience. None...

    New Stang vs top Ricer Cars

    Toss on a Vortech Supercharger to bring the prices closer. Now we are talking 271hp vs. what...380-400? Give it wider tires to lay it down, along with a Bassani-X and some Borla Sportsman Mufflers. I bet you forget all about the EVO, which is no doubt a nice car. And I didn't even get into...

    I don't like the V6 Mustang

    Yep I think that Lime V6 is hideous. There is no edge to it. It's just...tired. It reminds me of these nasty vinyl couches that my parents had in the 70's. I like the retro touches, but thats overboard I think.

    2006 or 2007 cobra spied picture

    '05 V6/GT vs. GTR head lights

    My opinion is that I think we WILL see the GTR headlights and possibly the entire facia style, but that it should be reserved for a special version. Just think back before this model. Most everyone was cool with how it was. But of course people tend to want rare. I say keep it rare....Special...

    Steeda 05

    Nice job, not my style though. One thing I notice, look at the "STEEDA" lettering on the display in the background. It is not parallel to the upper edge of the display.

    IRS...

    I would think an IRS would have quite an advantage on the racetrack. We are not talking 1/4 mi here. I was surprised that the GT-R is not IRS.

    05 Mustang, the next classic?

    I think I am going to print out this thread, store it in a corked bottle, and read it again in like 25 years. That will be classic. :D

    No Cobra until 07

    What to do, what to do....I'd sure love a pricepoint on the Cobra, regardless of when it is coming out. I expected it to hit in '07. '05 = Beta Testers... '06 = Fixes... '07 = Gone in 60 Seconds.

    Mustang GT-R press pictures"

    From Ford's Release... "Endurance racers will instantly recognize the differential cooler mounted between the taillamps with an aluminum grille screen."

    How much does paint weigh on a hood? Damn I swear this is a fashion show or something.
