Drove a black 05 mustang gt last night

Drove a new 05 last night and its a really nice car. The interior was comfortable except for the e-brake. The clutch was hard for me to adjust to because it was so light. I don't know if you can adjust it but the sweet spot is way to far down. The car felt very solid. We went through numerous "driving dynamics" and I have to say this car handles really well. The steering is spot on the radius is a lot better than the current model. We had it out at a 90 degree angle and brought it back with just the gas pedal... It was great. Good bang for your buck... Can't wait for the special editions.

I haven't got to drive one yet, so how was the shifting? I have a 2000 Honda Accord (not riced out, just my wifes car!) manual and it shifts very easily, but I have never driven a manual with this much power. Think it will take a while to get used to?

Cable shifter and hydraulic clutch on the GTs now, right?

Black Mustangs rule!

Agreed. I just wish black wasn't so tough to keep clean!

BTW - Silver rules.

Hit the nail on the head with that comment.

Well the shifter was very easy.... The clutch is hydraulicly assisted so that it is lighter than my wifes HA cavalier clutch. The shifter itself is good but I am used to a pro.50 and with out the spring loaded action it felt a little "loose" I would definately invest in an aftermarket shifter. The only other complaint I had with the shifter was when I power shifted third my fingers actually hit one of the round knobs. Its a little close for me but again thats just me being used to my sn95. You definately felt you were "surrounded" by the car with the reversion to the 60's era tall doors... Any other questions I will answer. Btw If I would have ordered one like originally planned it would have been black/iup/ia
