SAE corrected or not specified? Either way that's no more than 12 lbs/hp. Not too shabby.

Can't really save any money on a re-fi. Wife and I got a pretty good deal up front. First time home buyers. She's 24 and I'm 23. 30 years fixed at 7.1%. Took a slightly higher rate to avoid PMI. Since we bought rates have gone up about 3 times so so our 7.1% rate is actually pretty good now considering we were first time buyers. I guess I'll have to console myself with a testdrive at the local dealership. I love my P5 and after all these years it still looks great everytime I walk up to it, but I"m about to get a HUGE case of turbo envy!

...and hence... Zoom-Zoom is alive! F U SRT-4!

Thats for sure. Theres a new king of the hyper-powerul hot hatch hill.

The Si is now a joke
The GTI is sucking on fumes (until the R32)
The Neon SRT-4 is about to get knocked upside it's head
The Caliber SRT-4.....well thats still going to be ugly.

The King is dead, long live the king!

Yeah, alright. That's what I've been telling everybody since Crossbow posted the figures awhile back. Little difference in power b/t the 6 and the 3. The only missing info is the octane rating for that power rating.

The MS6 has lbs/hp ratio of 13 (3589/274).

ah, I got mine about a year or so ago, but even as a first time buyer, my rates were a lot lower than that on my 30 yr fixed. 5.625% You guys arent doing bad for that young. Couple more years and you should be doing fine.

I called the dealer last week and got in line for a test drive. I'll be ordering one for next May (Mustang GT's payment's end then) from the looks of things. Salesman said it wouldnt be a problem even with only 5000 of them coming into the country.
