the front and sides look good, i dunno about the rear though looks like a 64 1/2 or 65! 315ftlb at 4500..is less grunt than current mach 1 at 335ftlb 4200

The Fireman · Dec 22, 2003

The rear looks good, the sides are ok, and I'd like to see a few changes on the front in 06 personally.

Route666 · Dec 23, 2003

That looks like a mighty short stick too (the gearstick)

usa1 · Dec 23, 2003

I like it. The new GT looks clean and beefy looking. No fake hood or side scoops are good news in my book! The specs look promising. The rear end even looks good to me. The earlier pictures/photoshops really helped me get used to the shape. I think Ford hit a home run here.

The only thing that concerns me now are that the front seats look like they still have little side bolstering/support. That's my biggest gripe with my 2003 GT. At least the rear seats look like a big improvement.

The new pictures C6 Corvette I've seen floating around tonight look sweet too. It's a good time for Chevy and Ford performance enthusiats.

what will be some of the dealer options.
-hood scoopes(functional)
-6spd

SVTdriver · Dec 23, 2003

Yeah the dealer could put a 6 spd in for you. Probably a $4-5k option though.

It's amazing how exactly the computer renders predicted what it woudl look like. i like it, but I have a couple complaints. Didn't Ford say that the GT and the v6 would look alot different? The only diff. I see is a spoiler, wheels, and foh lights in the grille.

And if I were to buy one, i thikn i would drive it striaght from the dealership to the custom wheel shop, becuase the wheels on both versions are but I think I actually like the v6 rims better.

-Scot

I also dont see much difference, its the same what the current GT and V6's differ.

Supposedly, a place in Cincinnati or somewhere released the issue early, but thats what I read here. I dunno if it's true or not. Maybe somebody knows the true story.

shops that advertise in the magazine typically get a magazine issue forwarded to them almost a month in advance. If you look at the magazine its supposed to come out for February 2004, so chances are a advertiser leaked it before time.

Although it is difficult to see. If you look closely you can see a slight dividing line on the gt front bumper showing a different lower piece. check the pics on motortrend as well.

I swear on one of the picture captions, I can see 290 HP SOHC...might that be a tip off for us?

Hax

It says 200hp SOHC, and it's talking about the new V6.

Route666 · Dec 23, 2003

What you people don't realise with the exhaust thing is, that, while it is embarresing to mustang people to see the mufflers, it will draw attention from the idiot ricers, of whom's cars have these dumb things, and they will respect it, and admire it, because the car will stomp on their arses.

noe · Dec 23, 2003

yay, gt with a hood flatter than a 3rd grade girl

99SilverGT · Dec 23, 2003

All of you people complain about the mufflers when half of you are going to be putting magnapacks on anyways probably. You're not really going to be able to see those... especially if they can sneak them a little further forward since theyre smaller. Besides, if those mufflers are anything like the stock mufflers that come on GTs/Cobras now, any aftermarket muffler is going to be like 1/4 the size.

I say whoopty-doo... Aftermarket will work around it. Aside from that, I really like how the car came out.

bfrede1 · Dec 23, 2003

So are the front seats.

DevilishCobra03 · Dec 23, 2003

one thing is for sure, IF I ever get ahold of one, I wont be rolling on stock rubber. Those rims/tires look like ass.

bfrede1 · Dec 23, 2003

Those sure do look like GTO wheels on the red GT.

Boss 351 · Dec 23, 2003

ME at the dealership looking at a 05 Mustang;

Mmmm you like it when I nibble on your mirrors like that, don't you? What's that, more you say... mmmm you're so wet *playing wiper fluid button* I'm so hard... Lick your exhaust? You're so naughty, dirty.... dirty Mustang... ohhh you're so bad. mmmm like that? ohhh baby yes YES YES... I'm coming oh ...

eh yeah... Mustang **** brought to you by boredom

Ahh, I see it now.

Anyway it doesnt matter, Saleen and the other aftermarket performance companies will give her a niceR makeover.

I'd hope it'd have a little less grunt then a Mach.. I still say 280 HP... Ford has been known to make big changes to pre production hype

And 300 HP.. man, if that's true.. Wonder how it'll affect insurance rates on these cars? I think the GT will get a substantial boost in premiums which might make it out of reach for younger drivers.
