    Drive live chatter ?

    Mine makes a clatter when I am "granny shifting"- it likes to be aggressively driven, and when I run to to 3000 or so and shift right- no noise.

    05 Tranny failure

    Actually THE Rouge- where the (64-1/2- 2004) Mustangs were built is a huge complex- at one time the largest industrial complex in the World. That assembly plant is in fact closed, and an all-new Truck Assembly Plant is operating, building the F-150. I don't know what Ford plans for the...

    Practicality Issues

    Not to be the one throwing water on the picnic here- but the issue is not AFTER they are in- it's what you might have to do to GET them in the back.. Access- the access to the back through the doors might be an issue. I (almost) dropped my first-born putting him into a baby seat of a (much...

    Radar Detectors

    With me new '05 GT, I think it might be time for a radar detector. Some questions: 1. Which one is the best; 2. Which one is the best value for the money? 3. Do any of them "block" or confuse radar/laser, etc. I wouldn't want to not play fair :)

    ANY EXPERIENCES IN THE SNOW YET???

    Not yet- here in No. Ohio's snow belt we usually have snow by this time, but not this year. Reasons why the '05 might just be OK in snow: 1. Ford says they did over 1 million miles in snow- No. Michigan and in Sweden during the years they spent developing the '05 Mustang. Snow...

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    I had some issues with my 4.6 in a 2002 Crown Vic- gasket leaks, including the head gasket. They went out of their way to repair, including free loaner, etc. But the car had 30K+ on it when the problem occured. They told me at that time they were replacing engines for "any internal" problem if...

    It has one. Unless I don't know what you mean by "real". It is part of the IUP- adds • Satin aluminum instrument panel appliqué – ribbed pattern • Leather-wrapped steering wheel with satin aluminum spokes • Satin aluminum-plated shift lever with automatic transmission • Bright polished...

    just ordered 05

    Congratulations!!! I just (Saturday) got a call that a similar (different color) GT was available- went in and- the wait is over!! I have a Torch Red car instead of Performance White. The car is way better than I even expected. You will not regret your purchase.

    2005 cigarette lighter question

    Owner's manual on the 05 specifically states NOT to use the powerpoint for a lighter- they have a "Smoker's Kit" available as an accessory that goes in the console- uses a cupholder and (I presume) the powerpoint in the console. The center dash powerpoint seems to be for a radar detector. :)

    2 new 05 GT owners

    I tried to talk my son (96vert) into a trade- and have the dealer swap the wheels- was even willing to forget the $195 difference on the premium wheels. But NOOOO!!! he liked the standard ones with the Mineral Grey. Anyway- I like the Torch Red car as is. His car does look awesome with the...

    This wait is killing me!!!

    Suggestion- make sure your salesman knows you might consider another, similar car if one comes in that is available, like on a cancellation (it happens). We bought TWO GTs that way. Only a color change on mine, and the other was exactly what my son wanted. :nice: Salesman MIGHT just...

    Should the Mustang have won Motor Trend's "Car of the Year"?

    The Vette is not as "revolutionary" as the Mustang, IMO. It is an evolution of last year's car- and $60K (with most dealers charging $10K over sticker). I just got an 05 GT. A friend of mine- ex-racecar driver, and new C6 Vette owner, drove the Stang last night. He ran it through its paces...

    Anyone buying for "collector" status?

    I thought like that- save it in the garage, etc.- when I first ordered my '05 (not here yet). But as I thought it over, it's a $26K car when the average car out there is about $30K. It's not a $250K Ferrari. And the '05 Mustang should be a great daily driver- especially now that they seem to...

    New Stang tops out at 143?

    "143?? Officer: I had the speed control set no more than 125!!!"

    Well laid-out 05 spec page

    Could it be that there is some sort of turn limiter on the GT steering because of the wider tires? To avoid scrubbing the wheelwell?

    Someone Please Clarify

    Ford's literature talks only about the connecting rods- "powdered metal"- which has been standard on the 4.6 as far as I know for awhile. I don't think the pistons are forged or they would talk about it. People tell me that the connecting rods are a weak link in this engine if you run hard for...

    Hey just got my new 2005 mustang

    HEY! I ordered exactly the same combination- white w/ red accent package/ IUP. Only exception- I like the standard wheels. Glad to see how it looks- and it looks great!! I am thinking about a silver Shelby stripe......
