    Classic Design Concepts 2005'

    When companies start praising themselves like this: "“The Glassback is like no other car at the SEMA Show,” said George Huisman, President of Classic Design Concepts. ”Our history of Mustang restyling gives us a great sense for what’s hot in the market today. " I really have to wonder. Paint...

    new Roush pic....

    Yeah, but are ricers going to be buying the Mustang? It's got too many cylinders, it's not "technologically advanced" enough it's too big, and its too American. :rolleyes: Roush really should redo the front--there is just waaaay too much stuff going on. And it looks like its riding at...

    old news for the gto owner

    First, I am a little tired of comparing cars just on one stat. There is more to a car than the 1/4 mi. time (or hp, or tq, etc...). And I am even more tire of always beating up on the GTO. Why? It is not competition (as the sales figures are proving). That being said..... The Goat is really...

    JBA 05 Mustang GT exhaust & headers

    Exhaust looks great. Not sure if it sticks out too far though. How did they drop it already? Or is it chopped? jimb05 -- those look like Budnik rims, but I could be mistaken. I really like them though.

    Sonic blue 05 GT/first iv seen

    That looks to be an issue of the camera. Look how red the asphalt is. I do wish it was just a little darker though (but not True Blue dark).

    2005 Kenny Brown Mustang ...

    Illustrations and real life moldings are usually two very different things. Look at the 3D Carbon one. Looks awesome. But, sure as heck won't look like that IRL. Same thing with what little you can see of the KB stuff. The front bumper top opening isn't going to be anlged like that (unless...

    California GTs?

    Off the 5 and Tustin Ranch -- Power Ford, I think.

    05 Convert pics at Blue Oval News

    Think same price inflation as before (add about $4300 I think was the figure). I think it looks great for a vert! Coupe will always look better, but if you like verts (like I do), that looks like it will be very nice.

    California GTs?

    I saw two GTs on the lot of a local dealer (Tustin, CA) today. Red (AT) and a silver.

    Could have been a stand-in until they got the correct car delivered.

    STEEDA MUSTANG AT FORD SHOW

    The hood may be for the STB (but that would be lame). But, overally, I have to agree that they screwed it up. Hopefully the suspension parts, etc. are much better than the aero parts.

    2005 pics today at press gathering

    Great pics! Though, I still can't get over those HUGE wheel well gaps. Why does Ford isnsist on making the mustang look like a truck? Is it really that difficult to make the car look like this (attachment) from the factory? Oh well, at least there is the aftermarket.

    weight issues?

    Umm... if you actually read my post, I was saying that is what NISSAN was saying as to "benefits" of their 52/48 weight distribution -- to which I was saying was just marketing hype and crap. Also, traditionally, properly designed IRS systems are usually lighter than solid rear axles due to...

    weight issues?

    To be more precise, they were talking that having a very slight front weight bias will help in corner exit. As the weight shifts back upon acceleration (as it will ALWAYS do), the weight distribution is supposed to be 50/50 and help the car turn as it accelerates at the same time. I personally...

    Forbes Article

    After I voted, I read the Forbes article (http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/vehicles/2004/09/13/cx_dl_0913feat.html) and found some very disheartening tidbits: "GM may still sell more cars than any other automaker, but Toyota's market capitalization--the value of its stocks--is ordinarily about...

    SVT wishlist

    An IRS equipped, non-top of the line (think GT350 instead of GT500) version of the Mustang would be great. Something I could afford and should be a noticeable performance increase over the standard GT. Especially if they lightened it. But with that large of a car, I doubt there is much they can...

    05 GTO or 05 Mustang GT?

    Weight is probably more of an issue than IRS v. good Live rear axle. The GTO is a pig and something like 300lb heavier if I remember correctly. However, if you are really looking for something to handle look at the Z, S2000, and Evo. All should hand rip up anything American (sub-$40k) in the...
