Folks, I am new to this site, and may have found the car that I am looking for in the 2005 GT. But I had been doing some searches on the car on Google and one of them is of the rear end that looks significantly different than what I have been seeing elsewhere. I cannot upload the pic but I am sure someone has seen what I am talking about where the exhaust pipes look like they are part of/come out of the body...is this rear end a product of aftermarket add-on's or simply a rendering of a possible body style? I kind of like it so I just wonder what's up.

BTW, this is my fist foray into the world of purchasing a sports car/muscle car. I have been looking at the 350's, the RX8's and a few others...but the GT with the power and cool new looks has really caught my eye. I may be "ponying" up real soon. Thanks

I believe this is what you're talking about:



That's the original prototype and the rear design didn't make it into the production car.

I wonder if you mean the Roush Mustang or maybe the GT-R concept.

tomservo92, yes that is exactly what I was talking about. Thanks a bunch.

I still dig the looks of the car, although I feel that aftermarket products is where I will start to have my real fun.

Cool forum , folks..major kudos to the guy who got us the pricing..

Well maybe so but there are alot of things that are posted there first before they ever make it over here (like the pricing and production line photos).

The only time my GF ever tells me that is when she gains 5 pounds over the holidays...

...women.
