RE: On the Mustang fence....
ORIGINAL: Z_Zero
Actually, I'm going to make the plunge and go for her. I shouldn't say this, but I used to work at Ford and I used to have the inside scoop on the S197 long before it ever hit the streets. It kind of sucks now to be on the outside and wondering what the 08MY will bring... There are rumors of a new V6 that I am hearing now. If nothing changes on the V6, I'm picking up a discounted 07MYV6 Pony Package... If they change the 6 cylinder, then...? I may have to wait.
Actually I am not impressed by those imports that I mentioned. There's just so few cars on the market now that are "sports" cars and whats there are rice burners that may drive nice, but have no backbone to them. My fiance isn't going to let me plunk down the coins on a GT, but I can always piece meal together a coolV6.
Acutally, now I'm wondering what the difference is in the heads between the Explorer andMustang than the Explorer picks up an extra 15or so in the torque department. Would thatbe a simple bolt on for someextra torque? Hmm... Need to check into that...

Well listen you really haven't listened to anything that has been said.
The Mustang is not changing the ENGINE in 2008, that info is avaible in the dealership showroom and all over the internet.
You are picking the Mustang why? for the enging? Then get a GT its the bigger engine. The other cars you mentioned are the top of the line model that have high revving untunable engines....its a fact.
I own the 4.0 explore and I can tell you the Mustang is a better set up for power. The explorer is geared different in the trans and rear to allow for more towing....
You can ask most here if you do the Mustang right it will blow the Explorer away especially MINE.
JUST GO BUY ONE! or test drive it and you'll see.

All those Civics and subaru things have one thing in common - they look like ****.
However, the Nissan Z is something to talk about, it looks awesome, goes fast, handles nice. However, It seems like you really have to push the car to get it to perform, kinda drives like a ricer, but cool nonetheless.

RE: On the Mustang fence....
before when u were comparing the Mustang and the taurus. look at it this way. Taurus= biggest piece ever. i dont know about thenew ones but they always look like ****. Mustang= awesome looking car, even better potential with an already impressive 6 cylinder.

BUY THE MUSTANG!!! I have gotten more "NICE LOOKING CAR" with my auto trans.V-6 05 Mustang than with any outher car Ive ever owned and Ive owned some nice cars in 44 years. 63 Impala SS convt., 66 Pont Catalina 2+2 convt., 68 Charger RT 440, 71 Roadrunner, 79 Rx7 to name a few. Plus your so called LOW TECH is the reason the car lists for less than $20,000. Just back from a 2000 miletrip and with VMPs 87 economy tune got 29.1 MPG! Both those colors you like would make a beautiful car. This is the time to buy now(end of model year).

RE: On the Mustang fence....
okay first of all...most if not all of those other cars you mentioned were FWD (ICK!!!)
Second of all the car looks a ton better (as said).
There is a lot more modding potential....if you look around there are more aftermarket part websites for the mustang than any other car.
