    Went to look at 05 Mustang Today...my thoughts pictures...sticker shock

    Then come sit in the back seat of my '65 Mustang convert. LOTS more legroom than an 05. (My 97 Firebird also has more legroom than an 05 Mustang.) I like the '05, but back seat legroom just isn't there. No kids over 4 can sit there.

    $33,000 is totally stupid for GT 2005

    Never pay sticker or above. Not on anything. I didn't even pay sticker on April 18, 1964 when I ordered my first '65 convert (even though some dealers were trying to get sticker, but nobody tried to get more than list).

    Can you get Cruise control on Manual 05 Mustang?

    Both my cars have cruise - the 'Bird is a 6-speed, and the 65 Mustang is a 5-speed. Cruise is and always has been available on both manual and automatic. I just wish more people would use their cruise. Most of the time you get behind a car on a 2-lane road, their speed is constantly going...

    Why no 05 LX 4.6 mustang? think about it

    One of the major reasons for the huge sales of the first-year Mustangs was the wide variety of equipment offered. That way they could appeal to a wider group of buyers, and therefore increase sales. It worked like a charm, and set sales records. Today, with the advance of computers, it is...

    No 18 inch wheel eveyone e-mail ford and scream

    A Mustang is "Sports Coupe" or maybe a GT car, depending on equipment and setup. Ford actually broke new ground when they introduced the Mustang, so much so that a new term was coined: "Ponycar". I personally think that is more accurate. But sports car? No. A sports car is quite...

    Bluetooth

    If it is a wireless link, then it MUST have an antenna. Radio cannot go without an antenna. Bluetooth puts the antenna out of sight - but it has to be there, or it isn't wireless. (An antenna doesn't have to be wire - it can be a rod, or it can be a printed circuit.) Bluetooth, then, is a...

    Bluetooth

    I would imagine they mean an external antenna, for longer range. For the cell phone, not the bluetooth link. Antenna size is dictated by the physics of the frequency in use. Small electronics have no bearing on that.

    mis-badged 05?

    What I would really want is the standard base model, with a V-8 and NO badging.

    Inferiority Complex of German Journalists

    Understood. You are right, of course. Interesting what we consider new, however. For example, front-wheel drive was tried in the 30s and flopped due to the poor handling characteristics, and the lousy roads of the time. It came back when the roads got better and they needed to cut...

    Inferiority Complex of German Journalists

    Actually, I have read that John MacPherson, a GM engineer, designed the strut that bears his name as a cost-saving measure for the 1949 Chevrolet Cadet. (Not Ford Corp) After the Cadet was shelved before production, GM let him have the patent, much to their later chagrin, when it turned out to...

    eopionion.com review - Can you believe this guy?

    Good review, I would say. Aside from the two errors, of course, about the buttons in the wheel and the year model of the original Mustang. They finally got one here, and I sat in it and smoked it over (no time to drive yet). A silver GT 5-speed. Nice. Very good fit and finish, and I have...

    If you could tell Ford what to 'touch up' on the 05...

    Section the body about an inch and a half. It's still too tall for the width. Yes, I know.... ain't gonna happen. That would be REAL retro... low wide and sleek!!

    2005 GTO Judge : RAM AIR 6 (official pics)

    I like it, but it doesn't look like a GTO. The GTO was always an ordinary looking sedan with monstrous power. A "muscle car". That car looks fast, which goes away from the "Goat" heritage.

    The new GT: Stupid Ford Dealers

    So do Coke & Pepsi. They even contract with retailers that they (the retailers) cannot sell the competing brand!! Which leaves us consumers without a choice. I want a choice in the restaurant.

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

    I agree - and when the Formula and Coupe got a similar treatment in '98, I scrambled around (internet search) and found a '97. Think I'll keep it. Or maybe trade it for a Z-3. I've never owned a sports car - maybe it's time, now that I've retired and don't need to carry laptops and other...

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

    Not really. The main reason I bought my Firebird was that compared to the Mustang, the Bird was faster, better ride, much more expensive looking interior (with better fit and finish and a worlds-better shifter), more versatile (with the true fastback, I can haul all kinds of stuff) and cost...

    Thought I was Cured

    That would put a new Mustang V-8, manual transmission about 31-32 MPG on the highway. Hmmmm, really??
