BTW, there is a 944 V8 conversion for sale in Autoweek mag classified this week.. 86 NA in the all popular Guards Red. No price. Just another virgin sacraficed to the Muscle Car Gods I guess...

I looked at the '05 GT yesterday. I'm waiting for the Cobra. The gauge cluster is dead sexy.

Definetly an early 80's carburated 302. 85 or older. That car should just go straight to the junkyard to be put out of its misery.

True- the New Mustangs are one dead sexy car. The live rear axles will be on the 06's Cobra's and the 07 GT's. I really need to drive one for a better opinion.

I still wouldnt give up a 16 year old Porsche for a brand new Ford. and I'm a former Mustang owner- '68 FB, '78 M II and 88 GT convert.

I am, however, thinking of renting a Mustang convert for my trip to NC in 2 weeks.

You know, rednecks have done a lot to make foward progress in the eyes of the public for several years now. Losing the beat it up/ shoot it up mentality for tolerance, along with a newfound sense of enlightenment that says we rednecks CAN be more sensitive than our hard-as-nails fathers. All the while holding true to that real man's toughness that they impressed upon us so many years ago.

And then, some ****head goes and f***s up ten years of good foward progress. S***, man. Stop draggin' the rest of us down with you...

Gee, sorry guys. I guess I went over the top trying to make a point, but I didn't know the 'List was now rated PG-13. No offense intended.

Even the guys over on the 944V8 BBS were making fun of that car. They know a well-executed swap when they see it, and that ain't it.

Did you mean to say the IRS would be on the Cobra? They are planning to keep the Cobra IRS (thank God) while the current one still is live axle (though improved).

Tifo... I lost their site. Could you post it on here?
