New Cars for 2005

Turning this into a Mustang thread was my evil intention. Bwhahahahahahaha!

Yes the 5.0 is a V8. This new Mustang is 4.6 three valve V8.

My friend has a lightly modded 87 5.0 and it\'s pretty quick.

Isn\'t the Maybach a Chrysler?  Not a benz?

What is it with you Americans!

Maybach is an old German brand I believe. Anyway, it belongs to Daimler-Benz (and Chrysler now too I assume).

That cabrio is nasty. As for the stang, its Japanese counterparts have the upper hand to me. All thats left for debate are the prices and the looks.
Subaru Sti : 0-60 in 4.6
Mitsu Evo : 0-60 in 5 flat

from car and driver.

There is also the history and heritage of the Mustang that appeals to me. The hard numbers are important but I factor other things into the mix.

Understandable.

The concept Camaro ZL1 was clocked on the 0-60 at 2.7!:eek:

You can get a Cobra for the price of a Subaru Sti and that does 0-60 in 4.2 so I wouldn\'t say the Jap imports have the upper hand.  You are right about that Cabrio - leave it to Swifdi to post a chick car. :rolleyes:

But when they first introduced the new Maybach I could have sworn they introduced it as a Chrysler product.  I remember thinking why in the hell would they give it a chrysler name tag rather than a benz nametag if they are going to charge 350 grand for it.
