    New Stang tops out at 143?

    I just did 130 mph legally the other day on the Autobahn. There are roads in the Western US where I would feel comfortable doing whatever the car could do. If you are NEVER going above 112 mph, why not get a Minivan. They top out around 110-115.

    One of three Stangs in Germany (on the road)

    Germans definitely associate American V8s with good times, and they appreciate a handsome design. Lot's of stares on the street and in traffic. I only took it over 80 once on the 420 mile drive home, and now it is getting close to being broken in, so I can let all 300 horses run free now...

    One of three Stangs in Germany (on the road)

    That's the Heidelberg Castle in the background of the night photo. Autobahn is great, there are plenty of fast cars around here, and my motor is still breaking in, but there isn't much substitute for V8 torque.

    05 Mustang Police Cruiser...

    The gas tank doesn't seem near big enough to work in a police car. This thing is burning through tanks of gas like crazy!

    One of three Stangs in Germany (on the road)

    Two photos of my 'Stang, picked up Thursday from Bremerhaven (in the north) Already has 600 miles on it, has been briefly to 130 mph. Nothing broken, nothing strained, everything works, only complaint is: bottles of water in the cupholders get in the way of shifting.

    Congrats on a great color choice. Anyone have photos of a silver ghost striped Sonic Blue? Thinking about doing mine that way.

    O.K. here are some new 05 vert pics.

    Wow, that is a lot better looking than I thought it would be. Actually makes it look like the front seats have less room than the backs. How much heavier is the vert than the coupe?

    What did you pay for your '05 Mustang?

    Good news is the Military Discount was $1000. Bad news is it ended Sept. 30th. However, if you are deployed to a combat zone, I think folks there are getting a little bit more off the top. I am going, but not long enough to qualify (TDY) and I'll ask. I'm paying $26.6K for the sig...

    Ford Out of MyColor Gauges?

    You should call your dealer, who should get in touch with Ford. Ford's original estimates of IUP ordering levels were 50%. They also originally had leather wrapped steering wheels at least on all GTs IUP or not. Well, lo and behold, for $450, it turns out that 80 freaking percent of...

    Shaker 500/1000 problems

    Uh, I think you're getting a little off track here, Nick. :nonono: You say you are a Ford Tech, fine. And that you have VTC to Ford, great. Are they telling you anything? Are you having the kinds of problems getting through to Ford that those poor b*stards with the "Quality Hold" cars...

    CDC's '05 Mustang Pictures!!!

    Way to flow: Ducktail, Grill, side skirts Got to go: Wheels (too rice), Hood scoop (too small), front spoiler (too low), Side scoops (too Roadwarrior) I realize most don't like the grill, but it does look like a Ford item, unlike some of the rest. Just my humble opinion

    Wheels

    I swear I am not retarded, but why can I NOT find the "GT-style" bullet looking rims with the spinners that are in the Mustang brochure?

    05 GT 1/8th mile video

    Like to know what the 05 got smoked by. Really glad I am getting the base wheels, they look so much better than the others.

    05' Mustang vs 350Z

    :lol: SURE.. "People" also bought the 4-seat Thunderbird, and the OPEC-castrated Corvette in record numbers too. :shrug: I say so the *&!% what. Either you are a stockholder, or you love cars. You can pick up a Mustang II for very little these days, (those that haven't rusted) and you...

    Dodge really muffed the new Charger

    Interesting points Lawman, I would love to hear from you or some of your pursuit friends who may have sat some long hours in a Mustang, vs. hours in a Crown Vic/Caprice. Nonetheless, the new Charger is a TREMENDOUS letdown. The 1968 Charger, (like the one in the movie Blade) is one of the...

    05 Stang Wheel? Ugly

    And I thought I was the only one who liked the spinners better than the optional 17" wheels. I went old school all the way.
