enjoy

All I can say is "Bravo Ford"... good job! Too bad I won't be able to afford a 2005 by 2009 lol

Looks good...

...but still slow...

I love the new GTs. Lowered with larger/wider wheels and damn they're sharp!

 

[Mr.Shelby]

Super nice this new GT with the retro look...

larger/wider wheels??

my 04 came with 245/45/17

the new ones come with 235/55/17

how are they wider? or larger (i guess the sidewall is thicker if that means larger)

i thought they would put more "beefy" tires on the mustang with more power but guess not.

i said with a larger and wider wheel and lowered they look sharp. Didnt mean the stock wheels they come with.

Have you seen the 05 with 20s? Amazing looking!

still not as sweet as a 99-04 with some big ol 17 or 18x10.5's and 315's hangin out the back.

Does have potential though from a builders perspective

perhaps in time... next custom will be a 99

PS - Good to see you in charge Scott_B . Thanks for doing what you could while I was 'away'. Cryps, I feel like Mandella

 

[Scott_B]

Dunno..these are only 285s and wow! Throw some 315s on em and i bet it looks even better!

Like'n that mean boxed, old-school front end! This car will be tough to push into the wind But then again, if it becomes a project it will wind up like everything else L! pushing it's way in and off the trailer
