    Legend Lime Up Close.

    I've seen a lot of opinions on what you "should" be paying for an '05 at this early point in their introduction to the market. Let's face it, anyone buying or comtemplaing the purchase of a new '05 isn't destitute by any means (I'm not "rich" but not livin' out of a cardboard box either) and...

    Just got my '05 wow...

    Congrats. on the successful delivery of your new '05 baby! I just ordered mine about a week ago (V-6, Redfire, loaded with options, etc.). I have been seeing wildly varying estimates of arrival times for the cars...some say two months, some say up to four. I have a priority code of 20 (for...

    2005 Mustang order status

    I checked out the web link included by wolfman064 regarding priority codes. A very detailed explanation to be sure but I was left wondering just what it all meant! I just want to know if a priority code of 20 actually means anything to me, the buyer, in terms of manufacture and subsequent...

    Dissapointed in the new Stang

    Although I cannot comment on your impression of the looks of the engine and whatever else is under the hood (I'm not well-versed in such things and really don't care much) I think you have to step back and consider what you're looking at and for whom the car is being built for. The Mustang was...

    05 mustang owner age check

    I'm 42 and my wife is 40. Neither of us ever cared much about fun cars and never had one. Our order for a Redfile Premium V-6 with leather seats, etc., etc., went in just yesterday! :nice: :flag:

    GT- Auto or Manual in the snow?

    Absolutely manual. Speaking from many years of automatic vs manual driving in snowy conditions (New England) I can attest I'd rather have a manual any day. Besides, isn't an automatic in a Mustang a bit like heresy? C'mon...automatics are for soccer moms!

    Alright...fess-up! Who are you trying to impress??

    Hmmm...based on the posted age ranges in this thread I think I may the old fart here! Neither my wife nor I had really fun vehicles when we were in our teens and 20s. Not that we couldn't have them but I was always more of a jeep/truck kind of guy and my wife's mom bought her a very practical...

    How big is the trunk?

    Hey GT1995...sarcasm is obviously lost on you. As for your attitude, the internet is clearly the last completely safe haven for cowards. I suspect you would not be nearly so snotty in person. As for the trunk...I was impressed. As long as you're not looking to pack the entire family in for...

    I Now Understand what the 2005 Mustang GT is All About

    I think part of the appeal of the 2005 is its simplicity and clean lines with that retro look we all apparently like. If you want to look like a crack dealer, fine...add on all the scoops and crap. If not, stick with the stock body.

    Ford Out of MyColor Gauges?

    Rainz needs to take a friggen' pill. I don't think the original poster is saying this is a huge deal...his question is just a legit. as any other and deserves to be answered accordingly. There's no need to get sarcastic or nasty.

    How big is the trunk?

    Big enough for at least one average-sized body. Yo, fuggedaboudit!

    Checking your credit to order an 05?

    I just ordered my 05 this week and I didn't have to put down a single dime or go through a credit check at this point. I'm sure it varies from dealer to dealer but they probably figure even if we bail on the car at the last minute they'll have no trouble selling it within days of it arriving on...

    Saleen pics are up!

    To each his own I suppose; perhaps I'm some kind of Mustang heretic but to me the Saleen and Roush packages pretty much destroy the otherwise clean, sleek lines of the '05. Simple is often better and I think the Saleen and Roush illustrate this!

    Test drove a V6 this weekend...

    I had a test-drive in a V-6 the other day (automatic unfortunately, not a stick) and really loved it. I've heard some criticism about various and sundry features of the 05 Mustang but I feel they're largely unwarranted. Some have said the handling is mediocre and the interior is...

    Anyone Driven the v6 yet?

    I'd like to hear a review of the 6 as well but I have to disagree with 01white5spd that 6-owners (or soon-to-be-owners) are really looking for a GT but can't afford it. My wife and I commute together a total of up to 500 miles a week and with today's gas prices, mileage is a definite...

    AQHA Discount on 05 Mustangs

    I read somewhere (I think on this site) that Ford was offering a $500 discount on the 05 Mustangs if you were a member of the American Quarter Horse Association. Does this ring any bells with anyone out there? I can't find that info. right now but would like to confirm...every bit will help...
