    04 Cobra or 05 GT

    I saw that, but was reluctant to open my own posts to scrutiny!! LOL. Yep, when you're smacking somebody's grammar, best proof-read your post 3 times! But my FAVORITE is when people call other people stupid by trying to use a fancy synonym for "stupid", and they mis-spell the word, like...

    Bone stock goes 13.25 @ 102.85

    Thusfar I haven't seen much of a difference in mph between posted manual and auto times (which has me eating a tiny bit of crow), BUT, it's still early in the game. I'm waiting to see somebody with a hot foot come on here and post a good slip with a good 60' time with a manual.

    I Now Understand what the 2005 Mustang GT is All About

    Exactly..... A Lingenfelter Chevy Suburban is a sleeper, a rust-bucket 4-door sled with a nitroused big block in it is a sleeper.....you could even say that the new GTO is a sleeper (because it looks so much like it's econobox brethren)! But EVERYBODY who sees a Mustang and sees that GT on the...

    Bone stock goes 13.25 @ 102.85

    Impressive e.t., not-that-exciting mph.. When you're out in the country powering through sweepers and honking down straightaways, 1.8-1.9 60-foot times are fairly irrelevent. Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid dragger. It's those same kind of 60-foot times that gets my Lightning such fantastic...

    I Now Understand what the 2005 Mustang GT is All About

    Points well-taken, but remember, the Bullitt was an extremely popular SE (actually, I consider it to be the pinnacle of "good looks" out of all the SE's), and it was all about removing extraneous scoops and wings, and going with a cleaner crisper design approach. To me, the Bullitt looks much...

    05 GT Against Porsche 911 at the track...

    As a fellow 911 enthusiast, you'll have perception and reality. Reality first. The Mustang will probably lap a bit faster than the mid-80's 911, especially if you lower it a bit and upgrade your tires. Then, no contest. Perception in the driver's seat on a road course? The way it will feel...

    News of a "Mach 1" or "Boss" in '06?

    If that were the case, we would have known about it WAY before that salesman would. Be careful in dealerships. Speaking with car salesmen on a prolonged basis has been scientifically shown to drastically accelerate the onset of premature alzheimers.

    I Now Understand what the 2005 Mustang GT is All About

    Hey Performancered.... I'm surprised that you're not a multi-millionaire by now, and that you're not having a special one-off 2005 Mustang commissioned and built especially for you, with all the "aggressiveness" you desire. After all, I figured that you saw that commercial on TV, you know the...

    04 Cobra or 05 GT

    I agree with what you're saying there, but I wouldn't call the older Mustangs junk, because cars should be judged in context with their time, not in context with cars more modern. They were pretty good for their time, far better than GM's F-platform (which isn't saying much). It's just that the...

    99-04 front clip on 05+

    Ummmmm..... where do I start??? Swapping parts from one car to a different car is not like playing with legos. It would not fit. It would not mount. Nothing would COME CLOSE to lining up. It would be like trying to bolt a 20-inch wheel to your lawnmower. You don't just unbolt the front end of an...

    04 Cobra or 05 GT

    WOW, do you underestimate the intelligence and the standards of the Mustang enthusiast! If that's all that matters to you, your the big "sucker" that every auto manufacturer dreams of. Somebody with LOW LOW standards of design and engineering quality and execution. I can see the strategy meeting...

    Boss 351, I get where you're coming from!!!! No hard feelings taken at all!

    A NEW RECORD'S BID $40,000.00 US

    I usually buy the limited production models, but not for exclusivity at all. I could really care less about that. I'm all about the hardware. It just so happens that the low-production pieces are also the top-line in every respect, from styling to comfort to performance. My '00 silver Lightning...

    A NEW RECORD'S BID $40,000.00 US

    Are new clothes a waste of money??? It's the price you pay for virginity... Not a waste, just a priority...

    How much worse is gas milage on a GT compared to base model.

    The difference in fuel mileage, no big deal........compared to the difference in INSURANCE. Have you even pondered that hurdle?

    A NEW RECORD'S BID $40,000.00 US

    Yes, but that's the kind of point that doesn't have much relevance. There's always rare limited-production Mustangs in the past, and they will always be collectible. But few people are willing to sacrifice all of the progress and strides in engineering you get with an all-new platform, just to...

    04 Cobra or 05 GT

    Carrollshelby, please stop with the $40,000 USD idiocy for an '05. That is NOT reality, it is your own little fantasy, so quit throwing that ridiculous number out everywhere you go. '05 GT's are easily obtained at $25K base, $30K loaded. Now, with that said... I think that we ALL were guilty...

    99-04 front clip on 05+

    Nothing would come close to lining up, it would be a TOTAL from-scratch fabrication project that would cost about as half as much as the whole damn car to accomplish. You'd have about as good a chance of grafting a Peterbilt front end to your '05.

    $33,000 is totally stupid for GT 2005

    Why is there a fascination for hunting around online to find isolated instances of price-gouging, and then pointing them out as if it has some sort of relavance to the "real world" where thousands of people are buying new '05 GT's for honest and fair prices at MSRP or below?? And then trying to...

    A NEW RECORD'S BID $40,000.00 US

    The bidders are probably just employees at the dealership posting "fake" bids in an effort to hopefully trick at least one idiot into making them a huge commission check. Nothing to see here, this means nothing, please move on.... Besides, who would in their right mind be buying a new Mustang on...
