However, lets get this back on track.






Does Roush offer a S/C or Turbo for the Stang that allows you to stay under warranty?

Hehe, I saw this thread title then I grabbed my and dove in. Then I went through 3 pages without anyone seriously busting your nuts!

I like your car. I think the pic of the fuel filler may have been overkill on the photo-documentation though

Wish Ford would make the rear more appealing like the Boss 429s or Mach 1(longer w/ lip spoiler). Then I would def. be interested...

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you but this thread went unexpectedly bananas.

At any rate here we go:

That would be GM car by the way 1987 to be exact.

Touch screen is nothing new, satellite nav isn't either.

Among the early pioneers of DOHC were Isotta Fraschini's Giustino Cattaneo, Austro-Daimler's Ferdinand Porsche Stephen Tomczak (in the Prinz Heinrich), and W. O. Bentley (in 1919); Sunbeam built small numbers between 1921 and 1923.[2] The first DOHC engines were two- or four-valve per cylinder designs from companies like Fiat (1912), Peugeot Grand Prix (1913, 4 valve), Alfa Romeo GP (1914, 4 valve) and 6C (1925), Maserati Tipo 26 (1926), Bugatti Type 51 (1931), and Audi[clarification needed]. Most Ferraris used two-valve DOHC engines as well.

Hell ford even built overhead cam motors back in the 60's...not that it did anything for efficiency but you knew that aleady.

Welcome to 1996 !!!


Who knew all those goofy little sensors with all that wiring actually sent real time information back to the computer...(yep computer that had that too) so that the computer could determine if the car was running lean or rich or if the engine was knocking and would require timing adjustments. Nope that is brand new and Ford has the corner on the market.

Did you just copy the features page from the Mustang website?

It would be lacking mostly around this region.


Also here...


And when put together it still has a very hard time with these..


Other than that the car is fine, it would just be nice to see Ford some more original things with the Mustang and broaden it's horizons beyond straight line performance. Of which it actually sucks at unless you drop 50 grand on a GT500.

Well this was fun, but I am done for now.

The new Mustangs do look much better though.

So thats it? the SRA is what you were talking about in technology? i hope you havent been ignoring all the praise the mustang is getting on its handling capabilities with its old SRA, and btw you realize pushrod engines are old too right? but if it works it works right? i dont see a problem with SRA neither do millions of people or the magazine reviews so where is your point?

Motortrend june 2009 Pony Car War!:
"Finishing in second place...Ford Mustang GT. Mind you, this was a photo finish.
The Mustang with the track pack blew us all away with its sublime steering,
incredible front-end grip, stylish cockpit, and beauteous V-8.
As Losh notes, "Ford's two competitors had the advantage of sampling 45 years of Mustang DNA, Yet they still couldn't pull out a runaway win."

"The best steering in an american car. Ever."

"That GT turns-in like a race car" was our communal opinion after our mountain romps"

"Biggest surprise here, I thought the camaro would leave the Mustang in a ditch, but i was genuinely surprised at how capable the mustang is."

"The GT comes in with a neck bending 0.95g on the skidpad, and faster in the figure eight than the camaro with a 25.5"
what now?

BUT if you hit a pebble in the road you will spin out and flip your car and burn for the ford fanatic you are........

i dont get why people doubt the mustangs handling capabilities. (sorry if the above was to graphic)
