Just up for review today (Oct 11/04) is the Canadian Driver 2005 review of the 2005 Mustangs. This is probably a good unbiased review until we get to test drive for ourselves.
enjoy

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

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
