Hehe....yah, that was steve (Galaxie). He taped my entire drive. He held the camera extremely steady and I don't think looked though it at all so he didn't miss much.

Although I never got the change to break hard, they felt very good. Overall, the were quite responsive. Definately nowhere near soft and sloppy.

Hey guys, you're right - that is the best sounding stock Stang I've ever heard! It probably has to do with the fact that Ford went to great trouble to computer-tune it to sound like the late Sixites GT-390, Bullitt, etc.

One question: I noticed in the video that the center gauges are completely dark. Do they illuminate when the lights are off...and how bright are they? I'm hopin' they're REAL bright like the LED gauges in other competitor's cars.

Good job...awesome vid!

usdclark's right.

i have divx, but tested the clip on Media Player 10 right away. No problems at all. Besides, MP 10 is quicker (than the previous) since it doesn't load the entire "#¤#&& library every time you open it.

edit: OK, so who's willing to make a sound-only clip, like the ones you can get "classic car sounds" CDs?

that's right, WMP10 just PLAYS video, but it doesn't know HOW to play (or rather decode) the DivX format. DivX is just a codec, like a language. It's a quick download and won't install any unncecessary applications (but be sure to only install the codecs, not google/yahoo toolbar or DivX player, you don't need that stuff)

The video is a _little_ darker than the original, but that's only noticeable in the beginning of the video (and of course it is a bit blurry due to compression, but that doesn't matter)

if you really want the sound clip, let me know, it's a thirty-second job to extract the audio.

I believe the gauges are backlit with white when the lights are not on. It was such a sunny day, you couldn't get even tell they were backlit.

The video makes it look as if the gauges are hard to read, not the case at all.

Is it just me or did you guys notice those bright white and yellow sun visor stickers in the video? They just stick out like a sore thumb. The cars I've owned have had the stickers/warnings on the inside when you flip it out... Are these removable stickers? I don't know why that bothers me, maybe cause my interior will be so dark.
