it's been done. My T-bird is gone, victim of a truck rear ending it at a stoplight where I had been stopped about 30 seconds. My mother has a 97 cougar with very low miles she is giving to my niece as a first car. It will be a decently safe car for her. if I could see out the back instead of...

If they do bump it up to a 113-116" wheelbase, that would place it near the old MN12 T-bird in size. Now, that was 3700 or so with a 4.6 V8. I know it would get heavier due to all the additional protection systems needed vs what was good for 97, but they could get it in the ballpark of 38-3900...

my 550i (F10) weights over 4354 lbs. the current one weighs in at 4372, and the mustang is 3702, so 652-670 lbs more than a mustang. The 2017 340xi is 3555, but is also an inline 6, not an 8, which will add a few pounds. My 5 is 117" wheelbase and a length of 192". the 3 is 110" and 182" for...

Could it be an April fools joke? Maybe... That said, it has a lot going for it, and a lot going against it. Right now Ford has some really nice small sporty car offerings in the "hot hatch" segment. Moving to a slightly larger platform could allow it to compete with the bigger boys...BMW...

depending on how old/worn the tires are, you might need to replace both...

He's from Chicago. I've seen show there in May...

Make sure the load is balanced correctly. When the "tail wags the dog", it usually means you need to redistribute the weight in the trailer. What speed are those tires rated for? Is you trailer over 3,000 lbs when loaded(doubt it from the size)?. If so, you need brakes on it. Do you have...

because the majority of owners are not us. A lot of people buy the "cheap" mustangs for a variety of reasons. They track their car a lot and really like ford, or don't like/don't have the money for an M3/4. (Mustang enthusiast, lot of them here on these forums) They buy them for the...

I see where you are coming from. Couple more questions for you, and unsolicited advice. take it with a grain of salt. How often do you change cars? What's your family situation like? Married or other long term relationship? Dating around? What about kids? If you have them, what are their...

How old is the car you have now? What about buying an older vehicle like a 15-17? If you are thinking of replacing an older vehicle, go it one now. You don't know what life will hold for you in the next 3-4 years I will *probably* get a new mustang when it comes time to replace my current...

The majority of people who own one will probably...maybe...see 100 mph+ one or two times. Most will never track it. In fact, most will probably never see north of 90...unless they live in the Chicagoland area where you go 90+ in bumper to bumper traffic. The number of people who will actually...

All very true, but there is something to be said about one thing in the article about designing for real world economy and not standardized tests. I routinely get turbo 4s when I take my car in for service. My car is a turbo 8. I get worse gas mileage on the 4 then I do with the 8. Mostly...

I would have loved to put the Godzilla engine in my father's old T-bird (72 edition). It had a 429, but that thing just didn't have any power what-so-ever. That said, my mother had it restored, then my brother got it and sold it. Oh well.

yeah, this is something I saw as well. Everything I had heard before indicated late 2019 (Q4), this indicates potentially release in Q3.

That's a nice looking ride and I love the color combination. Congratulations on your new mustang.

First off, I am glad that you are okay. The accident could have had a lot worse outcome. I am sorry to hear that the person who hit you didn't stick around. Hopefully your insurance company won't hold you at fault and raise your rates as a result. I've also been involved in a hit and run and...

I like the job you did. As others have said, I am not totally sold on it, but it's not a bad look. As for the other models or vintages of the mustang, they all have their charm, and they all have their little quirks that some will love, and others will...not love. That's a personal preference...

except if you write your manual for the entire US, which most do with the possible exception of California, you have to go with what the extremes area, both hot and cold. They are not going to publish a Minnesota manual, a Florida manual etc. especially as there could be people who would want...

-30 C is -22 F -25 C is -13 F -15 C is 5 F Even in DE where I live now, we hit 5 at least once or twice a year. Where I am from near Chicago, I have seen -15 quite often in the mornings. In fact, there are some days it does not get above 0 for a high. I've traveled a lot, and I've been to...

Without doing a complete tear down and examination, it would be very difficult to say they are the same or not. With the same part number, we could be sure, but it isn't. It could be a big different, or one so small as to be no real difference at all. It might be a different alloy for the...
