2005 GT vs 2004 Mach 1

This thread is hillarious!

EDIT:
Oh just something to chew on but retro is in. From music videos tvs shows and movies they are all using 60s cars for their "cool" characters. What are teenage girls influenced by....? The above three things. So don't expect too many "chicks" to be impressed by your new edge if an 05 pulls up next to it. Case in point went to the auto show all the "chicks" were crowded around the 05 Stang with everybody else. Who was crowded around the competition orange Mach 1? Me and a few other guys that's it.

i gotta disagree with the above poster who said the new mustang will appeal to the "true" enthusiast. the mustang is a hot selling car and always will be, the new model will be no exception, and many "girls or punks or old people", will still get a hold of them. if anything a "true" enthusiast would buy an old mustang and restore it. i love just about every style of mustang with the exception of the mustang II's and whatnot. i personally won't be able to get a new 05' but i am not going to be like tommy and be bitter that theres a better, badder, mustang just around the corner. when i finish paying off the 6 banger, i will look into getting an 05, or 06 whatever the year will be.

as for the "pimping of teens" im 19, i paid for my 5.0 after saving up for it, and i make payments on my v6, not so i can cruise the high schools and pick up chicks. try picking up mature girls at the university with your Fobra R, the chicks who are worth it dont care about your car.

Most chicks don't know the difference between a BMW and an Accordian. They know it's "NEW" and "EXPENSIVE" (looking anyway). I have a 2000 SVT Contour and i did the full Zaino Bros wax job on it, and had a girl i work with, who owns a 330xi, come in and ask me if my car was a BMW...If you are looking to get chicks, forget HP, get yourself a "Player's" car. Without breaking the bank, I suggest a GMC Yukon GT, or Ford Expedition. Get some 22 inch rims, and stop right there. Might consider getting yourself, a better attitude, and some money, while your at it.

i dont think you guys really know whats ricerish or not. I guess guys like you think the Cobra R and GTR are ricerish too cause they have a big tail wing right?

ps - you guys really really sound high school, cause you really dont sound like you know what you are talking about. Thousands of guys put aftermarket parts on their stangs, so I guess they are all making their car something it is really not too , right???

yeah we all sound high school, we aren't the ones trying to extend our dicks with our cars

BTW i put aftermarket parts on my Cobra but i am by no means trying to make it something it's not. unlike yourself

when im out in my 65 i get more looks then in my moms 04 stang just because it is more uncommon to see a car in great condition that is 40 years old .... **** i get about as many looks in my monte carlo as i do in an 04 stang just because its got 23 coats of wax and blings just like the 04 and then agian i usually have the only older and hotter monte carlo or older stang out at nigh

o by the way monte carlos arent ment to be fast.... they kick tail in other ways

Ha Ha Ha, MOST girls "chicks" don't know much about cars, hell alot of guys don't know much about cars. Sure there are "chicks" that do know about cars, but I dont know if its just me, but I want a chick to be with me, for me, not my car, and she can say yeah he's also got this really cool car, and if she's knows about cars then she can elaborate more about it. I once had an import loving chick telling me how someones turbo worked on some honda, then i said sorry but physics in Japan are the same as physics in the US, and then i explained to her how wrong she was and why. As far as modding i like customizing a car, if you dont like it oh well, although i have good tastes, clean and sporty, i mod my car for great looks, not rice (10ft wing) and performance, HP and handling, to make it better then ford ever thought about making it, true racing type parts not mass manufactured, penny pinched parts.

Im sure you already know this, but since the Cobra R is racing only nobody will be driving them around on the streets.

Its impossible to drive a legit Cobra R around (not sold to public) so its also impossible to immitate one successfully since those who know anything about stangs also know that Ford only sold these to racing teams.

all i can say is WOW. do you even research before you post this krap? do yourself a favor and KNOW before you post, people will take you more seriously. now, FYI:

'00R
----

~300 produced
385hp/385tq 5.4dohc
street legal in USA
sold at ford svt dealerships
msrp iirc was about $45-$50k but dealer gouging caused them to go for much more



if you want to make your car look like a cobra R, go nuts. i personally love the look of the '00R and i've seen a couple black gt's done to look like the '00R but with a lower wing....dirty....not for me, but dirty none the less. just know that all your talk about 05 vs 04 is based on visual preference. i have NO doubts whatsoever the 05GT will be way better than the mach overall, and IMHO the 1/4mile #'s will be similar. guess we'll just have to wait.

-steve

oops my bad, but 300 of them made doesnt exactly mean the average guy could get one (even If he had the cash). Most of them were presold to teams, if I read correctly.


yep, functionally the 05 will be superior.

yah, I think the special editions of the 05 is where its finally gonna shine.

If I can get an 03 or 04 Mach 1 for way less than a new 05 (which should be possible)
I would probably take it.

I won't...I have already been offered a 04 Mach 1 for the same price as Plan A pricing...turned it down (FYI that is less than regular dealer invoice pricing). Why you ask...IMO 05 will be a better car overall and worth the slight price increase.

Picking up chicks is the last thing on my mind, I am happily married and my beautiful wife is the only "chick" I need. She loves the 05 looks more than the 04 and older and I agree 150% with her. I like the lack of things you guys want (shaker hood, scoops, etc) I will even debadge the "GT" when I get my car. Clean looking car is what I like.
