    Shifter too close to dash?

    If Ford hasn't drastically improved the shifter location from the awkward positioning in the current model, it deserves to be bashed by every reviewer. I hope the cupholders are designed with shifting in mind also. A different center console arrangment for manuals might be an idea.

    2005 Depreciation Rate

    Whoa there, down boy! :D You are correct, and I did realize that. The problem is that I didn't buy my 1999 GT immediately when it was released, so I can't tell you what people were paying then. Thus, the data I had was sticker, and it has great meaning. If people were immediately saving...

    2005 Depreciation Rate

    True. My thoughts were that many considered the 1999-2004 a refreshening of the previous generation. The interior, chassis, and many of the components were recycled, and the overall styling just appeared updated. As a result, maybe an argument would be that the 1999-2004 was partially...

    2005 Depreciation Rate

    Ok, so this is probably not a topic all the new buyers want to think about, but here's a dose of reality. How well do you think the 2005 Mustang (particularly the GT) will hold its value, specifically in comparison to the 1999-2004 generation? I was just thinking....I picked up my 1999 GT...

    How much weight does a stock hood weigh if a stock hood could weigh hood. :crazy:

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    I don't think Ford's intention was to make money on the GT. I think the purpose was to give an image boost to Ford and get people talking and attached to the brand. I'd have to say they've succeeded. It was a good marketing move...should boost sales across the Ford fleet.

    Mequires NXT Wax - Results

    Actually that's a very good point that I was wondering about the other day. It seems that whenever I wash after applying NXT, the car is coated with a layer of dust within 1-2 days; I don't remember this problem in the past. Are we simply being more critical in a discussion forum, or has...

    Mequires NXT Wax - Results

    You know...I'm completely torn on NXT too; I can't figure out if it's durable or not. It looks stunning right after I use NXT, but after a few days of rain and a good washing, the shine seems to decrease a notch. After a couple weeks, I'm not impressed and feel the urge to reapply. Another...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Good point about "Don't complain now and it will be five dollars a gallon." However, I think our government knows how critical our economy is in relation to gas prices, and I imagine they're trying to keep them as low as possible. Let's face it. America has one of the least efficient...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    This post is general and not to anyone specifically: I agree with SVT about a sticky thread on gas prices or something. This issue has been discussed on every forum countless times on Stangnet, on the news, at work, and just about everywhere. People blow large amounts of money on the...

    Seat Belt Mod

    Yeah, the stupid seatbelt never stays in the loop, and when it's not in the loop, it's hard to reach....so annoying. Are anyone else's seatbelts fraying really bad? I just got my seatbelts replaced a year ago, and the driver side is fraying and looks like $hit. I think I may be out of the...

    Newer 05 pics and unofficial Cobra info

    I like the first and second pics, but the angled side view still looks awkward to me. I think it's just that pilar between the window and rear quarter window. Could someone photoshop that out to see how it looks?

    Battery light on at high rpms?

    While I thought this was normal, as I remembered my '99 GT always doing it, my friend said this is a definite problem. When I shift late at high rpms (nearly redlining it), the entire car just dims and the battery light comes on. What's the problem here, and do you have any explanation if this...

    100 miles to a 1/4 tank of gas.

    Yeah, don't trust the fuel gauge. I think it gets stuck sometimes. For example, I once filled the car up, and it read "empty" for a couple days. Then the car spontaneously generated fuel (the gauge became unstuck) the next day and all was well.

    2005 Mustang Colors (10 choices)

    These colors are really boring to me. Don't get me wrong, some of the colors are fine, but they've just been recycled across all Fords for years it seems. That's not to mention that these colors scream every other car on the road. What about windveil blue and legend lime? I'm not...

    I've been in, driven the 2005-Pics

    :bang: I thought for sure they'd fix the misplaced shifter issue. Is it any better than 1999-2004?

    07 looks far away, I wish we would have stayed on the fox a few more years.....

    Please take note to all that make these mistakes: You're---you are---"YOU'RE going to the dealership." Your---possession---"I bought YOUR new car today." There---place---"Did you see that Cobra over THERE?" Their---possession---"THEIR Cobra caught on fire." They're---they are---"THEY'RE...

    2004 vs 2005

    Simple. Wait until October. At that time, test drive the 1999+ and 2005; then make your decision. While the 2005 is supposed to be vastly superior, no one knows for sure how it's going to handle, feel, etc. Therefore, while people can give you judgements on appearance, no one can accurately...

    $5k, A 99' gt, what do I do?

    Nice thought, however, I imagine the best price you can get on a used '03 Cobra is about $25k. His GT is worth probably about $10k. He needs an extra $10k before thinking about this.
