I really enjoyed that article. However, it was far from being the "relatively simple bolt-ons" that the magazine quoted. They moved shock mounts, cut holes in the floor, removed the transmission to modify the body-mount shifter, etc. It was still a great article and they had the Mustang really movin'. I've hated Hot Rod ever since the whole Cobra vs. STi mess, but the author of the PHP Mustang was well-spoken.



That thread was also full of you spouting off at the mouth, calling anyone who didn't prefer the new Mustang an idiot. If someone doesn't like your new car, so what? Get over yourself and the opinions you feel are so valid.

Watch out what you say to CobraKindGuy, what he says goes. After all, he is the Reincarnation of Jesus Christ.

poopnut stop lying to urself. i know you own a 5.0 and are very biased to them and probably can think they can run neck and neck with an 03 cobra , but truth is they are mid 14's best @ 93-96mph. U quote an lt1 being 3600 lbs LOL try 3417 lbs and mines even less(3390 factory). what a fox body weigh? 3200? i doubt a 150-200 lb difference will make up for power dissadvantage it has . i would pay to see a video of a bone stock fox( if theres any left) run a 13.99 on factory tires.

even if a fox was faster, the 05's are ****ing beautiful inside and out. maybe someone will buy one without the hopes of being faster than some nasty looking 14 year old car.

You're right, the 05's are sweet and there is no debate that they are quicker than any Fox stock for stock. I just hope my car doesn't look nasty. ;-)

My ex's title says 3600 on her 95' T/A.

I don't think they can run neck and neck with a cobra.(What the hell is with people making up shit on this site?) I said they can do a 13 in stock form. A fox GT weighs 3200. A coupe weighs about 3050.

I have owned 3 fox-bodied 5.0 Mustangs. From my experience, and from friends who have owned them as well, i can tell you a 100% stock car won't run 13's.

Now, it doesn't take much modding to get one in the 13's, but at 100% stock, it isn't happening. Don't mean to be rude or anything. My cars typically ran mid to high 14's completely stock. These were 5 spd cars being power-shifted.

Now, add a set of drag radials, do the 10 minute tune-up, and maybe add a short throw shifter and the 13's are a possibility. Stick some 3.55's or better gears in one and 13's are a certainty. But at 100% stock (this means on regular street tires and just like it left the showroom, including the air silencer in place) they didn't run 13's.

I guess that was rude, sorry...but my '92 coupe turned a 13.9. I agree that the 05 is a looker, but I still say it's pretty weak that the GT still hasn't caught up with the ls1. I'd have expected the 05 to match the Mach1...

Tell that to the girl who almost missed her greenlight about a little over a month ago because she was looking to her side at my car. And yes, she was hot. And yes, my standards of hotness are extremely high.

My ex freaking hates mustangs and she saw me yesterday and told me my car is still looking good. And she's hot too. :-D

well obviously it's a taste thing. i'm sorry to everyone that things fox stangs are pretty, it just seems to me that more people are interested in the looks of the 05. no hard feelings all you fox owners.

A little backed up agression, eh? While I agree that the guy is off his rocker, I wouldn't make a handling argument between the STi and a Vette or GT. You're comparing a $30k car with a $50k and $150k car... not exactly fair. The STi is a great little car, for what it is. Not my bag, but that's no reason to write it off as a big piece of shit.

jasonc32amg Your WS6 is gorgeous! :rockon:
