forget all the stupid little junk. bigger engine or more power, we can all use that. you are forgetting what a mustang REALLY is.

+100000000000.

we need a 5.4 3 or 4V STANDARD. 400 hp. dod.
maybe a 6 speed tranny.
we need an engine that is to the LS2 what the LS1 is to the 2v.
all the little **** comes extra.

3. More legible tach and speedo
How about a more ACCURATE tach & speedo? My speedo's off by 5 mph, and the tach is off by almost 500 rpms.

5.4L unblown high compression in a Mach package and forget the rest.

But with an aluminum block, light weight. I would hate to be driving aroung in a 4000lb 400hp car, heck I would have bought a SRT8 if I wanted a barge

I would like a sport/handling option from the factory. My 97 T-Bird had a sport option with bigger front brakes, rear swaybar and firmer shocks and springs. Who wouldn't want a slightly lowered, better handling GT?

I agree with the gas and trunk release option. Why not a normally aspirated 5.4 V8 aluminum block? That would be like wow 3 engine options. [:-]fd

Thats a matter of opinion Mustangman02232[sm=exactly.gif]. Just FYI the concept mustang that was at the Detroit International Auto Show (and others) has 20 inch rims on it. The Saleens have it as an option as well. So why not on the new stang's? (05, 06, 07). Previous years I get your point (if any), but the new ones the wheel well is quite large and can accomadate the rims nicely! If worried about weight get 20's that weigh less and are comparable in weight to a smaller rim.
ORIGINAL: mustangman02232

throttle with an actual cable, no drive by wire

trunk relese

slightly different guages,

different shifter

20s do NOT belong on mustangs
