    12 years after the LT1 debuts, Ford can beat it... :hail2:

    02-04 Mustangs look better

    IMHO, the '94-98 Mustangs looked nasty. The '99-04 versions where an improvement. I think the 2005 version is really a slick car.

    My dilema...05 or 04 Mach 1

    Nothing beats a shaker hood. Except an '05 bodystyle with a shaker hood... will they? :)

    Preliminary 1/4mi times for stock '05 GT

    I would not be surprised if it can grab high 13s. Although maybe the throttle-by-wire is going to be hampering things more than expected?

    '05 Pricing Is Out!!!!

    I would never even pay sticker price for a car. If the dealer wants sticker (or even higher) just wait until the price comes down. Let 'em know with your wallet what you think of their pricing. That being said, the $25K tag for a GT is sweet. That means they will eventually be had for...

    If your under 20, forget getting a 2005 Mustang, even a V6 unless your rich.....

    If your insurance is going to cost $12,000 per year, you have other problems to take care of before buying a new sports car.

    Not enough power... In 2005

    There is no replacement for displacement. That is a plain and simple fact, if you want to talk about the good ol' American 1/4 mi.

    small kids in Mustangs

    I'm only 6' and find that driving the current GTs is uncomfortable. Maybe its partly due to ergonomics and not purely based on size. I should go test drive an '05 someday and see how they compare.

    2007, the Mustang will have Competition, Camaro is Alive AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If it requires a 72 month loan, you cannot afford it. Save up and wait awhile so the prices will go down.

    small kids in Mustangs

    That's why you give the wife the 4-door and yourself the Mustang. Let her do the main hauling and just use the Mustang at times when it's necessary. :)

    AAFES Price quote

    So $26,740 for a stripped down GT? Mustangs cost more than I thought. Fortunately... I do not need options! (I would not even upgrade the rims.)

    Who wants to see the pictures I took today of the 2005 Mustang GT? (56K Killer!)

    I am loving the 2005 Mustang from what I have seen. Those '60s Mustangs were my favorite, and I think the 2005s are a great mix of retro and new styling/power. I am a GM guy, but I am really digging this 2005 pony.

    Should I wait for 2006??

    Only time will really tell. But I imagine Ford wants to do it right.

    Who wants to see the pictures I took today of the 2005 Mustang GT? (56K Killer!)

    I think the new Mustang looks really good. I'm curious how the 300-hp feels since the "throttle-by-wire" is now implemented.

    2007, the Mustang will have Competition, Camaro is Alive AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sources have said the C&D sketch is not dead-on. I am hoping they give the final product more flare. No spy pics have been released for it, that I found, so no one REALLY knows how the Charger will look. Is the Zeta platform different from the GTO chassis? A lighter rebodied version of...

    Should I wait for 2006??

    Assuming no major product changes are in order, it's always better to wait a model year when you can afford to. Let some bugs get worked out on the assembly line and you will probably have more luck negotiating the price down (no longer "new"), especially if special edition models come...

    Will we see a 2005 Mach 1?

    I had no idea Ford said that. Thanks for the info. I really loved the shaker hood on the Mach 1s. :) (It would look even better on the 2005's hood.)

    5spd auto

    I wonder how many miles you have to drive in 6th gear to end up paying off the added price? That is a very good point that is likely missed.

    5spd auto

    Amen. I would not want a 6-speed.
