    The interior...

    Since none of us own a 2005 yet I guess we are all "Trolls" :D I expect this forums to become more serious once the '05 is finnaly out. We got nothing to do but BS until Sept.

    Gas Mileage

    27mpg highway should be possible. LS1's have ranged from 28 to 29mpg hwy EPA rated, hopfully the new 4.6L can get into that range. Gearing will play a big role, are all GTs getting 3.55s?

    The interior...

    From a styling stand point I don't think retro interior was the way to go. Old American interiors arn't know for being great like the extrior designs. I'm sure the quality is way up, but is doesn't look as good as the F-150 IMO. I have not sat in the car yet so I really can't comment of...

    Gas Mileage

    The big gain should be in the auto with the new 5 speed

    Anyone pre-order an 05 V6?

    How can you go from a Mach 1 to a V6? :scratch: Does anyone know if you can get 17"s on the V6?

    Wow... Saw a 2005 Mustang Burn to the ground today.....

    glad it isn't true, it's so sad to see a performance car die an early death.

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    What does the number of "imports" sold in 2003 have to do with handling??? What about the increasing number of trucks and SUVs sold in the last 10 years. I think everyone wants a car that does everything good, but there are compromises. Good handling vs. smooth ride, lots of HP vs. good fuel...

    It's an option I believe.

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    The weight distro in the 03 was different than the '05, so that extra 100lbs. won't be as bad. I'd rather not have the extra 100lbs. but if that is the only way to get a 450HP/450tq engine than so be it. The '03-04 Cobra handles good (in my book) and is considered the biggest nose heavy pig of...

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    Any Iron block V8/V10 in the Stang is out of the question in my book. The current Cobra already has an engine that is 200lbs. heavier than a reg 4.6L V8, so 100lbs. extra for an aluminum V10 wouldn't be too bad in my book. An Aluminum 5.4L 3v wouldn't be much, if any heavier than a DOHC 4.6L...

    Predictions for sepcial editions.

    That would be a good one, maybe up the compression on the 3v 4.6L to 10.5:1 have it run on 91 and put out like 335HP, then add 18" rims and a different spoiler. A 450HP aluminum 3v 6.2L would be great for the next Cobra R, granted the 6.2L isn't out yet, but in SOHC 3v all aluminum form I'm...

    Chevy Suburban has been around since 1935 Jeep Wrangler, although it was called CJ before wrangler, but basically the same vehicle has been around since the 40's

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    Sad to see ignorant people still exist, it is amazing how a few bad years of the Camaro and Mustang 20 years ago can tarnish the image of these two fine cars today :( but since when does anyone take Honda fanboys seriously :D j/k

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    What site do you use to look up sales figures? I can't find a good one. I know the Camaro out sold the Stang in 94-95, The Mustang pretty much did a 2 to 1 on the F-bodies in 98+ (after GM decided to kill almost all funding and advertising) Hopfully 05+ Stang sales will do good enough for...
