This weekend's episode of MotorWeek has the following description:

Check your listings. I'll post here if it turns out to be the real thing.

I'm going to try to videocapture it if I can get my TV tuner card in my PC to work.

 

Update: They (MotorWeek) has already posted their review on their website:
Motorweek 2005 Mustang Roadtest

Now for some of their results:
GT (manual) 0-60: 5.0 seconds
V-6 (I guess manual too) 0-60: 7.0 seconds.

Wow..the auto version of the GT is nearly as good (According to MT's test). I'm wondering now :scratch: auto or stick?

 

Nice!!! Another good review but can't wait to see the spot. It's on at 4pm today here in VA.

I also noticed that American Hot Rod (Boyd Coddington and his boys on DSC) will start a 65 Mustang build which also starts airing today. It's a good Mustang weekend!!!

 

Sorry about the repost, then. FYI, it was the '05 on MotorWeek. They showed a couple different ones running at Gingerman and on public roads.

0-60 times:

GT, 5.0
V-6, 7.0

They didn't say which trannies these times were with but I'd assume it was the stick. They did not give any 1/4-mile times.

Saturday @ 2:30 a.m. here

I will be waiting for 9:30 p.m. on Speed, Monday Oct.4. Thanks for the reminder though.

 

Since we have two similiar threads. I'll combine them together.

 

Excellent, thanks Evil Capri

BTW: I got my TV Capture Card working ,
So I' will "try" to capture it and host it through my student web account from my college. We have a nice big fat fiber-optic pipe to the Intarweb, so hopefully bandwidth won't be an issue. I'll try to even cut the file down to just the Mustang review, if I can figure that out :bang: . Either way, I"ll update this post with the URL once I record the show.

 

I wouldn't hold a HUGE stake in the numbers they got. I remember when they tested the Cobra R. Their numbers weren't exactly good for that car. That means that the GT is even faster.

I have extensive video editing knowledge if you need me to compress or convert anything. (Or even edit out what you don't need.) adefouw@wi.rr.com

 

my PBS stationg isnt going to show motorweek. anybody else from the west coast know if it will be somewhere else

 

Here's the station list for MotorWeek.

It's also on the cable/satellite Speed channel.

 

Mine plays on Sunday at 930AM. If it is telling the TRUTH...it will be in HD!!!!

 

bah .. won't see it till next Thursday .. cheap skates.

 

I have it set to record on a DVR. Wow, I love these things.

 

Feels good see auto is faster then 5speed I love it

 

It won't be. It'll be close 0-60 but the manual will take the auto in the 1/4.

Neither is St. Louis
Also, even though it says it airs on PBS-U on Dish Network, it doesn't. Julia Child is on instead. Great, so I can find out how to make a souffle but I can't find out about my favorite car.
