Totally useless fins, scoops and etc. have been designed into cars for a long, long time to attract that 'niche' buyer.

If you want road contact (no power steering, no power brakes) why are you driving a boat like the Galaxie?

Wow, the venom!

The cool thing about Mustangs has always been the ability to tweak it to your own personal likes and styling. This dash lighting is another example, brought into the 21st century.

My 2nd Mustang, a '91 LX 4-cyl., came with the optional 10 hole wheels ('85-'90 5.0 rims). Yea I know, it wasn't a real 5.0, but for a 19 year old kid who couldn't afford the insurance on a real 5.0 it looked like on and I got a woody every time I looked at it or washed it.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!!!! I'm all worked up now. Time to go out on the prowl.

Where'd you drive a 2005 Mustang? At a dealer? What was the sticker price?

Anxiously waiting to test one myself,

You haven't had a date for a while, have you?

You need to check out one of my favorite sites on the net.

I think this is right up your alley.

I have a car with a big engine, thank you very much. 346ci big enough for your taste?

Chris

346? We demand at least 5,000 cubic inches to post here! Get w/ the program!

You are posting in the wrong group. gov.topic.transport.ships should be more useful for your 300 liter diesel engine. :-)

Chris

Why not? I have yet to drive a car that actually *needed* power steering. Power brakes are really only necessary with discs.

Probably not for CJ. His tastes run to the 427-460 BBF variety. Hell, my

*small* block 351 Windsor is bigger than that, even before the stroker kit.

Hell, no. It may be big in Germany, but that's sewing machine bait over here. What car is that, anyway?

Geez, no wonder nobody in the Mustang group knew where I could buy

20-foot titanium props. Thanks for the pointer!

At this point, I think I own in excess of 10,000 cubic inches of American V8 iron. I need to start a new newsgroup, perhaps one centered around properties like mine that make a noticeable depression in the Earth's crust. I'll call it alt.performance.seismic.proportions.

I take it you'll be buying a new 2005 Mustang, then?

Or hook it up to the stereo and have the colors change in time to the music!
