the electronic auto is a piece

i thought they had the 700-4R which is better than 4L60E
They're the same transmission internally - I've rebuilt many of them, both 700R4s and 4L60-Es.. The only difference is the 4L60-E is electronic and programmable for the exact shift timing you want, at the exact pressure you want.

cant be that bad after all, both those cars are still in production today....
What can ya say, chicks dig the Mustang. Not enough power to scare anyone, and just enough looks to make it a "cool" car. I'd have bought one too if I didn't have a *****....or wanted to take out a 2nd mortgage to make my car go 11's.

no doubt the new mustangs are doggs but it never was aimed at strictly high performance

its bang for the buck performance and it has to be leveled out somewhere.. ford took the hit under the hood. the new gt500 is designed to fix that but the $50k+ price tag is not worth it.

thats not sayin the LS1 isnt a bang for the buck but ive never seen anyone under 20 own one (without having rich parents). the LT1 is definitely getting cheaper by the day and the LS1 is not far behind

I'm 21 and have owned one for a little over a year now...one with 500rwhp at that. They're dirt cheap if you look in the right places. I paid less than $10k out the door with 65k on it.

The new stangs are a full second faster than the Foxbodies....they're not doggs. Actually, the new Mustangs are the fastest GT's produced...well, EVER.
