Brad,
Great pictures - you earned it, buddy. Who would've thought a little old website could turn into such a phenomenon. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the site.

Brad those are some awsome pics and that was some awsome info from Hau himself. I still think it's funny about the whole Hau finding out about the commericals from this site. It's good to know Brad that Ford designers come to the site. Who knows maybe we will see some of our (as in all us photochoppers) designs being put into effect on the SE models in the future. I just hope that When they change the body styling in 5 years time that I will get to see my beautiful Fastbacks come to life on the streets. That would so own all.

Brad, YOU DA MAN!!! :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

Great job on the site, the write-up, and I'm glad you got to go. I would rather that it was me, but I didn't earn it, you did.

Since those are defective, I wonder if they would sell me one at outlet prices. Gonna have to watch the stores in Boaz for one.

Thumbs up

Speakers in the floor?

I think I know how there is 9 speakers... 2 on the rear deck, 2 in the floor, 2 per door, and the dual sub counts as 1

Brad, great job on getting the pics and meeting the most notable of mustang people. Looks like things turned out very well...Now if we can ONLY GET THOSE THINGS MOVING OUT OF THE PARKING LOTS UP THERE... (anybody have any sense of when they are shipping and why they haven't already?????) Mine already needs a good wax job...

:scratch: I think they are... It dawned on me earlier today about the name "Shaker" -Crutchfield used to carry an item called a "Bass Shaker" a few years ago that was a floor speaker like sub that would vibrate the floor to simulate more bass... those circled areas in the picture gatta be speakers... only Jeeps neep floor pan plugs nowa days :P

Kahdir,, those are not speakers, i know that they look like speakers and would be a good idea for placement, but they are access panel for the gas tank. It's a saddle-style tank fwd of the rear axle, if you got to see that Extreme Mustang show on Discovery channel or TLC, they explined why the gas tank is where it is, even on the production car. I'm not sure if they're just twin pick-ups or twin in-tank pumps, but they're access thru those panels to save us from having to drop the tank. And BTW, we're building cars(Mustangs not Mazdas)for EXPORT to San Juan, PR!!!!!!!!!!!!

TMS: Are there any plans to export to Europe or the Bahamas?
HTT: We will not export to Europe. We are still considering the Bahamas.

Sounds good to me, I already have a GT on order from my dealer along with their 6 V-6's.

Good job Brad, glad you had a good time and good to see the site has recognition with the top brass at Ford. HTT had to get Mustang info from your site!

Awesome Brad, nice job.

It sounds like we might see a California Special in 06MY since Thai-Tang said its on the list. Kind of an odd coincidence that KaptinGT mentioned in and Thai-Tang said it was on the list. Plus, they are concentrating on getting the Cobra out so I'm not sure we'll see a power increase till 07MY.

Anyways, the trip looked like a lot of fun. Thai-Tang is a great guy isn't he?
Told ya a california special was coming! Mua ha ha!

Stinks you couldn't get confirmation on the colors, I really wanted to make sure he agreed with them.

Since they are considering a "list" of possible SEs, we should be in for an exciting ride the next few years. I'll presume from his statement about the Bullitt and Mach that those two may not be on the list, at least not in the NEAR future. That leaves the Boss & Shelby variants, California and High Country Specials, Sprint, etc. that may show up... and of course the Cobras.

Nice job Brad - glad you had a fun, safe trip.
