I too am interested to see how the new package performs at Atlanta. I'm a religious F1 fan as well but watch pretty much every NASCAR because I'm just an all-around fan of motorsports. It produced a pretty entertaining All-Star race last year but I'm worried applying it to every track longer...
The Terminator will always be my favorite Cobra. Something about that hood and the chunky rear spoiler just screams "give me all the horsepower." A 2004 Mystichrome Cobra is still a part of ultimate dream garage.
Interesting how you got bored after a few months of owning your car the second...
Wanted to hate on the Shelby badge too but I can see how it could be viewed differently in the UK. Either way, it's cool to see a Mustang culture in the UK.
This. It helps to remember to never take it personal because it rarely is. As mad as I get sometimes, I just tell myself "maybe they're in a legit hurry w/ a good reason" or "maybe they actually didn't see me" or "maybe they're really just a total a-hole" which in that case, I feel worse for...
Congrats, sounds like you probably got a great deal. It'll be funny when you bring it into your local dealer to have something fixed and you tell them it's still under the original factory warranty.
I like this thread and I love my car, too. After 3.5 years of ownership and nearly 40k miles, I still look forward to getting behind the wheel every single time. Hasn't given me any major issues, and the small ones (door still rattles w/ louder music, awful lumbar support positioning, etc.)...
Definitely wouldn't leave the top down, regardless of having a cover. I don't think you'd be doing the durability of the top any favors by leaving it folded all winter. Plus, I'm not sure what the quality of your cover is but you'd be leaving the possibility open for dust getting in your...
My daily drive back and forth to the office is flat and mostly straight and I have no where to go for what I would call "spirited" driving (turns and elevation changes), but my car is still fun enough pulling away from red lights going through the gears up to 60-75mph that I don't mind. I put it...
I don't think I'm obsessive at all but I kind of feel like my subconscious says otherwise... I have these recurring dreams where I get into these little totally avoidable fender benders and I get super depressed. Like just the other night I had a dream that I was pulling into a parking space and...

Anything is possible with a bottomless checkbook. The thought of a V12 stuffed inside S550 bodywork is definitely cool, to me at least. Would I do it to a GT? Probably not, but I wouldn't think twice about doing it to a V6.
Would I hang onto a V6 for a few years until I had enough money to...
Right, the manufacturers really only have (relative) design freedom when it comes to the front end. The rest of it is pretty strict. The silhouette is based on a template and the rest of the bodywork is highly regulated because teams can find big aero advantages there. I'm actually surprised...
Daily driver. 25 miles one way to my office doing 55-70mph and averaging 20-22 (based on computer) which is good enough for me. I couldn't imagine having something fuel efficient and leaving my 'Stang in the garage all week. The drive is flat and mostly straight, i.e. extremely mundane but my...
I always knew I'd have a Mustang at some point in my life. I credit the brand new Deep Violet '96 GT that my Pappap - who was selling Fords at the time - took me to dinner in when I was 5 for making me the car nut I am today. It was always just a question of when.
Wanted to buy a used New Edge...
