Re: Help me decide.....on my new ride!
oh ok. i saw that the manufacturer reccomended premium. i didnt know if it would hurt the motor if you consistently filled with regular.

Re: Help me decide.....on my new ride!
You're supposed to put premium in it, but it should be fine if you don't. The only one of those cars that you'd be stupid not to put premium in, is the Evo.

cool. since we're on the topic of mustangs, i saw one of those Bullitt mustangs. do they have any performance upgrades, or is it just forest green paint, rims, and scoop w/ no spoiler. just wondering, i thought they looked kinda trick.

Re: Help me decide.....on my new ride!
They've got performance upgrades. The regular GT makes 260 hp/302 torque. The Bullitt/Mach 1 (same car, different name) makes somewhere around 310 hp/310 torque. So if you want the extra power and can afford a Bullitt, go for it

Re: Help me decide.....on my new ride!
what do you guys think of the 2005 stangs. im thinking of maybe a 2005 v-6 (Lx?). they start at 18K. have the retro muscle car styling. mpg is 20/29. and a few aftermarket upgrades (intake, cat-back, hypertech) might make it a pretty sweet ride. what do you guys think? i know it wont be as fast as alot of ricers, but itll have style.
