    Don't look back!

    Who cares what the guy next to you likes or doesn't like? No need to flame anyone. A lot of people, particularly those in the younger age bracket, buy things to try to be cool. Need proof? Look at how many kids put $60 Fart Pipe on their exhaust cause they want to sound and look cool. Yeah, as...

    Up-to-the-day Stang Info

    Maybe he has two dealerships, technically, and that allows him the alotment of 5 per dealer. Hence, the 10. He may have two corporate names, one for the regular division and one for the SVT division. McCarville Ford in NY has the same thing, they will get 10 also.

    What is with the 2005 Mustang's Antenna?

    Seems like that is, and will continue to be, the first thing I change. Every Stang I've had; out with that damn antenna. I'll pull out my powered antenna from my current Stang, which can be installed behind the radio and hidden in the dash, go to a body shop and have that accursed hole filled...

    Don't look back!

    I agree that Ford needs to do some things to the Stang to modernize it, but not necessarily in the styling department. Japanese cars have a very distinict look to them, as do Europeans. For a while there, American companies left their roots to replicate this trend. Now that American's are...

    Don't look back!

    The majority of V8 Mustang owners is not in the 20's. The Majority of Mustang Wanters is. The actual statistics are floating around on this forum somewhere...

    2005 GTO Judge : RAM AIR 6 (official pics)

    Right On! People should go start a GTO forum. These discussions are fine; I'm not against the GTO, but this is, after all, a 2005 Stang forum. People come here expecting to find info on the Stang. Compare this GTO to the Stang or stop this thread!

    Not enough power... In 2005

    Exactly... some people just can't get it through their heads: horsepower means nothing to insurance.

    how long for the 05 to hit lots

    Anyone who wants an 04 Stang, should wait until the 2005 comes out. I see a ton of them sitting on lots. They'll be a real steal when the 05 is out.

    how long for the 05 to hit lots

    Early October is my guess. From past experiences, maybe mid-Oct.

    Got my 2005 Mustang GT price quote today...

    Ford is a well oiled corporate machine. They don't spend millions and ask questions later, often. Maybe you can be more specific and outline the differences between Hau Thai-Tang's "dream platform" and the platform we are getting. Also, I would presume that such details aren't well known. I...

    Lug diameter/pattern for 2005?

    Correct. 2005+ Mustangs have a different offset than 2004 and below. I do not know what the exact offset is, but it is apparently known. I have seen it mentioned, and I have been seeing ads for 2005 Mustang Aftermarket Rims

    Not enough power... In 2005

    Because the insurance companies look at the LX and the GT, essentially, as two different cars. Different accident histories, theft rates, different MSRP, etc etc. If Ford came with the Mustang GT and the Mustang GT-B, and they were identical in every way. the insurance rates would be...

    Agreed. I said this in an earlier post.

    Not enough power... In 2005

    Of course it does, but not because of horsepower. It will simply because they are going to put you in a higher risk bracket, the V8 bracket instead of the V6. Go buy a new Mach 1 with 310HP. Put in a 5.0 from the 87+ stangs with only 215 (or it may even be 205) horsepower and the insurance will...
