Was any thought given to aftermarket modifications in designing this new engine?
Has Ford given the engine specs to any aftermarket manufacturers?
How extensive was testing of this new vehicle and engine?
Were any notable weaknesses or bugs discovered in any phase of testing?
Why has the front valance changed?
Is there any reason that some of the show cars have been displayed without the tuning baffle?
The design of the front of the car would seem to allow a lot of outside air to reach the engine. Is this engine prone to higher operating temperatures then the current 4.6? If so is there any specific reason for that?
Has this engine been run at higher compression ratios? If so how did it fare?

I feel the same way. WMA, while being the wave of the future of the RIAA being able to get away with "renting" songs to consumers (cuz what they do now is definitely NOT ownership), will probably not make it into the car.

Here's what I've been able to gather from public domain info:
- MP3 only
- My Color is adjusted from Info/Setup/Reset buttons. You can toggle between 5 preset colors or set R/G/B ratio from 1-5 each making up a total of 120 unique colors.
- Different wheel offsets from SN95
- Can't order tape stripes w/o spoiler on V6. It's part of Ext. Appearance package. I'm sure dealer can arrange spoiler delete for you.
- Can't get "Shelby" stripes as an option - look for it as Ford Racing or some other dealer installed package
- 05 Mustang uses remote shifter. It's in ideal position for most folks excluding olympic butterfly swimmers.

Could the person explain the anti-theft security system in more detail. I also hear the key has to match a certain frequency or code?

SecuriLockâ„¢ Passive Anti-Theft System
Passive anti-theft systems like SecuriLock protect against drive-away theft through the use of an electronically coded ignition key. The vehicle starts and operates only if the electronic code in the ignition key matches the one programmed into the vehicle, thwarting attempts to hot-wire the ignition. A miniature transponder with an integrated circuit and antenna is imbedded in the ignition key. A wireless radio-frequency transmission transfers an electronic code between the transponder in the key and the vehicle. If the codes match, a signal passes through the wiring system to the electronic engine control, allowing the vehicle to start.
Keeping Mustang Where It Belongs
Mustang has an optional, active anti-theft package aimed at combating high performance-car insurance premiums. The package includes:
Separate Alarm Sounder
Car thieves often begin by disabling the vehicle’s horn to disarm the alarm system. So Mustang employs a separate, remotely located alarm sounder that makes it harder for thieves to disable the system and make off with the car or its contents.
Anti-Tow Sensor
To guard against the growing criminal trend of tow-away theft, an inclination-sensing module records the vehicle’s angle of inclination when the anti-theft system is armed. If the sensor detects a change in vehicle inclination, it sends a signal to the alarm system, which triggers a separate alarm sounder and flashes the car's lights to guard against tow-away thefts. This sensor also can detect whether one corner or side of the vehicle has been jacked up, to guard against theft of wheels and tires.
Ultrasonic Interior Motion Sensor
To detect "smash-and-grab" break-ins, an ultrasonic interior-motion sensor determines if glass has been broken or someone has placed a hand or other object inside the car. If an intrusion is detected, the alarm sounder is activated and the exterior lights flash to frighten would-be thieves.
Perimeter Anti-Theft Protection
Perimeter anti-theft sensors also detect the opening of the hood, doors or trunk when the anti-theft system is armed. If the vehicle is parked and the window rolled down, for example, the alarm is sounded if a would-be-thief tries to open the door to gain access to the car.
High-Capacity Battery
A 60-ampere-hour battery is capable of sounding the alarm longer. This more powerful battery lends an extra measure of authority to the active anti-theft system and helps prevent battery run-down from use of Mustang's powerful audio system while the engine is off.

Yeah, what is that Suspension Package anyways?

So far the theory is that 18" wheels will be in there.
my guess it it could also have lowered springs,
anything more, (big brakes, shocks, etc) will have this package costing big bucks.

Newest guide has that 'package' taken out.

What's the problem?
What's the problem?
Ford already said that the Cobra will be out in summer 06. I'll ask though about a BOSS or whatever. [/b][/quote]
Listen, if you are asking what people really want to know.......then who gives you the right to say it isn't a good question.
Is it "typical crap" because we don't have an answer yet......I think so.
I gave you a question I thought ford might now be willing to shed a bit of light on right now......if you don't like it, don't ask it. Just don't insult me by calling it a "crap" question. :nono: The GTR sure looked like a Boss to me.
Also, remember that the Cobra is now going to appear in the 07MY vs. the 06MY. Maybe there WILL be an S/E before the Cobra? I figured it didn't hurt to ask.
