Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
It's not the lights, it's those ugly, hog-snout grilles. Yuk!

I think it's a rendering and not the real image. And yeah, I agree with houbmw, only 550hp with twin turbos on a bigger engine???
that would explain that disgusting looking grill.

The slight increase in power (10%) with the twin turbos might not seem like a lot, but I would wager it will put more torque into the low end band (if they are sequential) and improve the mpg. The new CAFE standards are making everyone scramble to come up with better ways to get more ergs with less juice. I can't wait.

I just hope they make 1 soon.
I think I was wrong that in 5 years time the oil will be $200us
looks like we get that within 2 years
