    Fracturing Crankshafts ?

    http://www.stangsunleashed.com/index.php?categoryid=18&p2_articleid=94 This article mentions crankshaft problems with the GT500 and seems to point fingers at the balancer. It also mentions the design and weight of the balancer is similar to the GT. Does this mean we may have a future problem...

    $15k over

    Simply fyi, and nothing else. I actually saw a GT500 contract for $15k over MSRP. It is for the dealer's first GT500 which has supposedly been told will be one of the first 100 retail GT500's. Dealer said this is only the third time in their long history they charged over MSRP. The first...

    Looks like the enthusiasts are taking over now as buyers

    Is it just me, but has anyone else noticed that since prices have come down to MSRP type levels, enthusiasts are now coming out in relatively large numbers to buy and/or order GTs to their specifications? To me, this is a great thing - I believe most of the speculators/flippers are leaving the...

    Owner's manuals - any differences between '05 and '06 books?

    I saw where the std radio is mentioned in the '06 owner's manual. Are there any other appreciable differences between the two manuals? I'm wondering what info is in the '06 manual that would benefit an '05 owner.

    Do most of us think the standard radio was adequate?

    Is it just me, or do most of us want just the standard radio? Are we just more "into" cars than the usual buyer who is interested in the powerful stereo, or were dealers loading up on options in an attempt to make more profit?

    User profile type suggestion

    When one clicks on a username, they get a dropdown list of options. Is it possible to include in that dropdown, an option to go to the pictures that user has uploaded to the gallery? There have been times when a user mentions a particular color combo that I'd like to see, but now I have to...

    Advantage of using more descriptive thread titles

    Recently a member had trouble using the search function for a hard shifting cold tranny. Since the search results only show the thread title, he couldn't find it easily.

    Kill stories

    IMHO - If you want to avoid trouble on this site, I suggest not allowing Kill or street racing stories. It doesn't take long for some other group of performance vehicle owners to feel the need to "defend" their ride. It can get nasty. Just ask the folks over at CorvetteForum or Z06vette. It...
