I'm not a huge fan of the mangnum's look. I doubt you'd ever see a turbo stang, they'd do a focus before that any day.

correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they do a turbo mustang in like the 80s or something? or maybe that was just a "modified" mustang I saw but it looked stock and said gt turbo on it...hmmmm

I'm so glad you said that. Having actually owned one of those. It required 2 transmissions in the 6 months that I owned it. And I really wasn't that hard on it.
Read up on those. They had HUGE trans problems.

A 3000GT weighs almost 4000 lbs. Has 3X the power that an Eclipse does. Can't really compare the two. And 98LS1 is correct. That dude is lucky to have no problems with a Mitsu tranny.

I think they should keep the RWD. If people want AWD bad enough, they will do something about it instead of hope they make a car with it stock. For the price you would pay for a new mustang you could save that, wait a couple years then buy a used one & make an AWD setup for it. Like the mustangs now, Ford didn't make 1000hp mustangs, people put money they saved into it. I've seen some weird setups on cars, a v10 RWD crx, v12 VW beetle, twin turbo 800+ cid mustangs, & a v10 mustang. What would make you think YOU creating an AWD V8 mustang is out of the question?
