As much as I love my 02 GT the 05 GT I test drove was just awesome....it handled better, sounded better stock, rode over bumps and railroad tracks like a caddy, and was just an all around better car....even thought it was an auto the 5 speed auto is very nice....you guys can argue all day about how much you think the 05 sucks but its a better car period and even if I dare say so a refined mustang.
my brother just got an 06 GT manual a few weeks ago. the chasis is a million times stiffer, the car handles much better than the 99-04 GT's, it gets much better traction off the line, and stock to stock, they are faster than the 99-04's. but i do agree with the comments about it being a bit too refined and a little too big. as far as the car not feeling like a mustang, well after 10yrs of basically the same car, it's gonna feel different.

the older models are generally better at sucking more
I kid I kid... I like the 05 on paper, but I just don't like the looks of the rear of the car or the bland stock hood and rims. All these can be changed, but I like to leave my cars looking stock!!!
I would own one though if my car wasn't almost paid off. The only thing better than a new Mustang is a paid-off Mustang. If Ford tradition holds true, we should see a redesign in 2009 or 2010. I'm interested to see what they do there.
