BLASPHEMY! did i spell it right? :D

[95fbirdkid]

My dads in the process of ordering a GT right now :cool:

I appreciate the '05 mustang [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

[shenanigans]

I'd still like to get my hands on a 99-04 4v Mustang(Mach 1 or cobra depending on year)

[BLLDOGG]

now that car looks good. i still hate the fog lights on the grill [img]graemlins/barf.gif[/img]

still hate the backend though

[shock_core]

SVT > All other ford products, expecially Saleen [img]graemlins/barf.gif[/img]

[L32Projekt]

I'd test drive a GT if they had some on the lots around here... :mad:

But Wendy just decided, since she needs an Auto-tranny car, she wants a GTO. :D

[Question]

No.

[Mogobs30th]

This is the first and ONLY time I will say this, but I am somewhat impressed by that car. For the exception of the lack of a backend, I do like the car, maybe even enough to consider buying one if I had the money. This is one of the first muscle cars availiable that has impressed me this much in years.

I saw that in the news this morning along with the classic original Shelby.

Ford sure is doing alot of Superchargers. I wonder if Buick will ever go back to Turbochargers.

[shenanigans]

ITs a sweet car, I am starting to love all this factory boosted stuff. [img]smile.gif[/img]

No, from what I hear, GM is using Buick's in some sort of deal with China... Im guessing if they kill the line here in the USA they will make them in China.

GM is doing some wierd sh*t. Honestly, Bob Lutz is a f*ckin idiot.

Rumors say that Pontiac might be ax'ed too if GM keeps going downhill. Isn't that crazy?
