Noonz, I'm curious as to why you say this car destroys the M235i. From what I can see from the numbers, it looks like it mostly keeps up with the M235i, but hardly destroys it. I presume there is something not represented well by the numbers alone. If you had some time to expand on that, it...

I don't see a similar remark on the fuel economy they saw running the GT through the same tests. Top Gear once tested a Prius against an M3 to prove that how you drive is a major factor in fuel economy. The M3 won on fuel economy. The first full tank of gas on my 2005 after I put the...

And this is it. This is the post that made me cancel my order. I hope you're proud of yourself!!!!! ;) Now it comes down to if I replace the order with a EB Convertible Automatic or GT Convertible Automatic. I have long believed, and even argued here, that a convertible is a cruiser and the...

:headbonk:It's Monday in London. Where are the Mustang.UK reviews!!!:headbonk:

I think Oppo hit the nail on the head with "confidence-inspiring". That is a big part of what I want out of this car. I discussed in another thread the differences between my highly modified 2005 Mustang and my (wifes) BMW 335i. In reality, I'm quite certain in the hands of a professional...

Ah, the question was specifically for you. I just thought some people may have the benchmark of say "I want to run 10s or better." and I would presume they would be modifying the car to do that and not expecting that stock. Thanks to all that answer, it's interesting to see I think. Plus...

Interesting point there Five. Let me add an additional question. Do you plan to modify the vehicle to reach your benchmark? I do plan to modify my Mustang, probably significantly, but my benchmark is where I expect it to be when stock.

There have been a lot of threads about many different aspects of the new Mustang and everyone has an opinion or one aspect of the new car they are specifically looking for. So what is it YOU are looking for in this car? What is YOUR benchmark for a great Mustang? I'll go first. In short, my...

Wondering what those people drove. There are several 4s pushing right at and into the 300 HP range now, including the car they were laughing at. 310 HP is hardly something to laugh at, at least in my book. Might stop laughing when one of those EB's smokes em at the lights :) Nice pictures...

2005 Convertible: First Mod was wider wheels and tires.

Wait, so the automatic on the mustang doesn't have a +/- shift gate on the shifter? Wow, I find that shocking. Even my minivan has that. I thought all vehicles with a select shift auto had that. I'm actually gobsmacked by that. I suppose in the end you probably should keep you hands on the...

I stand corrected.

Don't be ridiculous. You can't add HP with paint. You need stickers or badges for that. Though red does reduce brake fade more than any other color and will cut your stopping distance in half.

I fully expect the Boss LS to be faster to 60, faster in the 1/4 and as fast or faster at Laguna Seca. Sorry to be the one asshole in the thread, and I know "ford said" but frankly, they said a lot of shit that turned out to be less true than expected. And like all the other claims the...

Just to be clear, I added the smiley to indicate I was being a bit snarky with that comment. I am well aware that rollovers can occur at no fault of the driver of the rolled vehicle. There are cosmetic light bars that specifically state they are not roll bars, but in my opinion, have to be...

There is always not driving in a way that will cause it to roll over. :D There never has been in the past and I have not seen any reason to believe that will change. There are, of course, after market cages. But if you are looking for some kind of magic popup bar like some high end verts...

What do you define as performance? Are you racing at a strip, a track or autocross? If you drag the car, the GT is almost a must if you want performance. The EB may be able to be tuned to get some power but a GT can be tuned to get more yet, and has the option of adding FI as well. If you...

My opinion is that a convertible mustang will never match the performance of a hard top. It will never be as stiff, it will never be as fast, it will never be as nimble. That is just the reality and I spent more money than I care to admit on my 2005 convertible trying to change it. If you can...

My understanding, and I can't recall where I read it exactly, is that was fully Ford's initial intention. They wanted a smaller car to better compete in Europe based on their smaller roads. What they found in the research phase was that Europeans didn't want a smaller Mustang, they wanted the...

If you think it is bad now, wait until the full reviews come out and it is revealed that the GT PP is slower to 60, slower in the 1/4 and slower around Laguna Seca than the Boss. On one side will be the "They might as well just call it Pinto then, I'll never buy another Ford!" crowd and on the...
