Wow, vocal topic Lot of people, lot of typing, probably only 3 opinions: 1) Mustang's Rule (49%) 2) GTO's Rule (49%) 3) Open minded honest people (2%) I think its kinda funny. If I went back 4 years, swapped the development plans between the two companies, some of these...

Send complaints to the program manager of the Mustang who decided that it was worth the $$'s he (or she) saved by going fixed mast. I dont like it either.

Power antenna's mounted in fenders are expensive and have a habbit of breaking (which causes poor quality scores, angry customers, and warranty $$s), especially with cold weather/ice and when people dont ever clean the mast. Antenna in glass is a good solution (doesnt break) and now the...

Rebate $1000????? Any one remember when rebates didn't exist? Or when they only brought them out to sell cars that were sitting on lots? Why put a rebate on a car that is on back order, and not even out??? Not sure if this is in the stockholders best interest, and isnt that the first...

When do you start the watch ... Always get amazed at the number of answers you can get to "When is Start of Production"? Material people work toward the material due date, which is a few weeks before the cars start build. There is the body shop quick off day, which is before the finished...

Lots of solid details Like I said before, this could be BS, but he does has a very believable story on the way these events are conducted. Thanks for someone else pointing out the camera thing. I meant to point that out too. THEY DO NOT LET YOU BRING CAMERA'S TO RESEARCH EVENTS. Sheeze...

Hmmm, with those two examples, seems like you may have to buy one quick, before they go out of production. lol Seriously, topic has been covered before. Quality is better at launch, but yes, there is still a risk with getting the first of anything. Trade off the "first kid on the block" joy...

Yes they do weigh more. But sometime you have to define your customer, and build the car that they want. Most people will trade a few pounds of weight for added convience .... cause they ain't racing their cars, they're driving them, loving them, and in some cases almost living in them. If you...

BS or Not???? This entire report may be BS, but just a couple comments that do sound believable: Major Auto Companies DO perform research through the use of focus groups. Some of the research does involve common people driving vehicles, and providing feedback. His Group: They select people...

Bigger question than just OZ .... has anyone heard if they are planning a RHD (right hand drive) version of the Mustang? If your going down under (or several other places) it would seam much better to design a factory RHD into the program, rather than the post production mods it takes (usually...

Hmmmm .... looking at a mirror and seeing "big and goofy". Got to ask, were you looking at the housing, or starring into the glass surface when you saw this big and goofy thing?? :rlaugh: Sorry, couldn't pass that one up. All kidding aside, I do see your point.

Sorry, when I said "Finally", i was refering to having those features on the NEW platform. I am aware that the older version is there, but was talking about the priorities in launching the new platform, launching the V6 / V8 and then "Finally" a few years later launching the Cobra. Maybe I...

Hmmm, so I dont want the first year's car .... 'cause they're working out the bugs. And in the case you sighted, I don't want the first 3 year's cars, cause it took that long to find and fix the problems. So maybe I wait 4 years to buy the car ... but then its looking kinda dated, and a new...

Sounds like Ford has got things pretty much right. No 1 priority is the V6 Mustang ... most people HERE would say underpowered, but thats where the volume is in the real world and thats what pays the tooling/factory/engineering overhead. N0 2 priority would be the v8 GT, figure 1/3 of sales...

No right answer, no wrong answer, depends on the driver. The 03-04 Cobra supplies brute power, but in an older looking body with no refinement. The 05 GT will get you a new look (and hopefully some improved ergo ... but the jurory is still out), but no where near the power or the performance of...

Uhm, ANY mustangs?? Think he would feast on 2/3 rds of the new mustangs ... or are V6's not mustangs in '05??

V8 Given your "requirement" of 300 hp, have to go with the V8 over mod's to the V6. Some other's bring up the point that a V6 performance is "good enough", and for many people it is (actually projected like 2/3 V6's for the 05 stang) ... but you stated a requirement of 300 HP. Given that ...

Ok, Round however many. If you read back, I was supporting the guy early on also. The people I flamed were: 1. People who claim that if a photo doesn't exist, thing didn't happen. 2. People who use local sports teams as bragging points. If you fall into either of these catagories .... no...

Anyone with contacts at aftermarket suppliers may want to check to see what's going on. Rumor heard that Ford will have lots of mustangs at SEMA this year, and that they will be shipping early cars to some key vendors to have them trick the cars out for vendor displays. If true, should start...

Hey .... while your at it, might as well drop the IRS and offer 235/50/17 allseasons as the top of the line tire ..... uhm, never mind. Still, I'm glad they dont offer cranks ... too basic ... got to have some stuff on the car.
