yeah, i remembered that after i put the post up, but it still shows that the mustang was a car that was meant for the masses, not just for performance junkies. Mike

mustang has ALWAYS offered a 6 cylinder option. matter of fact, the mustang started life not as a car to go stomping down the track, but as a car to just bring in the youth or help people "recapture their youth." yeah, many think of it as a peformance car now, but it's nice to see that the...

oh believe me, i'm gonna take all the time in the world. i want to save up about $15K for a fat down payment. that should take me until about late next summer when the rebates will be kicking in (hopefully). until then, i'll be back and forth between a few of 'em. mainly, i'm looking at the big...

hmmmmm.... i dunno. i went to my local pontiac dealer yesterday. i have to say, that car looks MUCH better in person. he only had one Goat. it was a black-on-black beauty, but with AT. my initial impression is that the build quality of the car is much better than the stang. of course, for about...

also going through the same debate myself. i dunno. i guess i really need to go see the car in person as well. 400HP, IRS, a 6-spd, and the fact that the car is actually being sold UNDER MSRP is a really appealing package. i just don't know if i can get over the looks. Mike

i'd be willing to agree with you on that. IF the non-functional scoops, pins, etc., were a good attempt to capture a certain look, OK. i wouldn't put them on my car unless they were functional, but that's just me. i mainly started the rice debate bc i get so sick and tired of people who loop...

again, any mod that looks like it's supposed to add performance but doesn't equals rice IMO. yes, ricey mustangs can and do exist. Mike

not in the mustang, but as a focus owner i have to say the idea of a ford turbo 4 making that much HP gives me wood. they should bring it over either in a SE focus or in some other model like the Aussie Falcon. God that car is sexy! oh, and 4 cyl does not equal rice. fartcans, bodykits...

so my uncle bought me the car of my dreams as a college graduation present.... only in 1:18 scale. he managed to find me one of these (in red, not the tungsten): http://www.tmsstore.com/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=87 this thing is so damn schweet. the detail is unreal, right down to the...

i like it, but there are 2 areas i'd like to see it improved in: 1) that's an awful good deal of weight to be only relying on a coupler. something about just having that filter sitting out there seems like it would want to flop around. an extra support piece may be a good idea 2) billet is...

my family has also had good luck with Mossy. we've bought 3 fords from mossy ford and a 350Z from mossy nissan. their no-hassle policy is really great. only thing about mossy that has me concerned is a REALLY bad incident my grandfather had with Mossy Chevy about a month ago, but since it's not...

my focus is a color called twilight blue that i LOVE! it's a REALLY dark, deep blue. when that car is polished up i get a million and one compliments on her. i'd love to get a mustang in the same color to make a matching set. that being said, a competition orange s197 would be sweet as well...

it'll happen soon. with ford upping production on the 06s, i'd bet you could probably buy an 07 at or below MSRP by late next year. ford won't hold back on the market with the demand this high. they'll flood the market as quick as they can to get in on the profit before the niche of the car is...

bump - i added some songs to my list in my previous post. just thought some would like to see it. Mike

nice! that has to be the first s197 w/ striped i've seen that i actually like. nice choice on the wheels, too! Mike

old school meets new school. perfect for the s197 IMO. Mike

hahahahahahahahahahahaha! OK, here's some of the songs off my "Drive Fast" playlist. some have already been mentioned. 1) Paradise City - GnR 2) Rods & Cones - Blue Man Group 3) Never Gonna Come Back Down - BT 4) Dreaming - BT 5) Superfabulous - BT 6) Fuel - Metallica 7) Enter...

ha! i don't have any REAL good ones, but here's a couple. 1) got caught doing a 3-lane lane change at once with no signal pulling well over 100 passing slow traffic in the #1 lane. young bike cop nailed me. when we pulled over, he was very cool and said he was just gonna let me off with a...

gotta expect stuff like this on the first model year of a car, esp. when so much of it is all new. look at the focus, for example. they've been building and selling US models since the 2000 model year. because of all the TSBs and recalls teh car had it's first 2 years (model years 00-01), they...

i dunno. something about pushing an oil change that far out gives me the heebie jeebies. that OIL could probably hold up to it. i'd be more worried about the filter, though. for peace of mind, i would keep the intervals at somewhere around 5-7K with a good filter. Mike
