Let me just start off by saying this car is amazing.....by far the best overall mustang ever produced. Its a bargin at 25k. I went with my friend (Dan P.) to go look at the car. It had been there less than 3 hrs and was already detailed. The dealers and salemen were all taking turns going for rides. Me and daniel hopped in and went for a ride. That car is badass PERIOD. Its a whole new class of mustang. The handling is stunning to say the least. Let me list the details by section....

Power: Definatly not a slouch....we had 3 people in the car and still had our heads planted in the seat up to 85mph. It has all the lowend of a 5.0 with gears but yet the topend of a car well.....with 300hp. Just puts a grin on your face the whole time you are in it

Interior: I don't know who said its cheap looking but they are a moron and has no clue what they are talking about. They finally used the nice plastic in these cars. Shouldnt be any more plastic rattles as it ages. The color changing guages are sweet looking. The seats are the most comfortable Ive ever sat in. Lots of head room/leg room. Leather is much better quality than the old cars. Road noise is almost nonexistant. We got up to 85 and it felt like we were doing 40 or 50 tops. The entire steering column tilts up and down, not just the wheel. The shaker 1000 sound system will blow your ear drums out if you want it to. The only thing thats cheap in the interior is the round silver plate around the air vents....it spins around and looks tacked on. The old interior just looks lame compared to the 05's.

Drivetrain: The gearbox is noisy but not as noisy as an aftermarket shifter. The drivetrain clunk thats been on pervious mustnag is gone.

Handling: This car has very little body roll and fishtails around corners nicely. It also seems very responsive.

The presidnet of Fox Sports was there checking the car out also....Man I love this car.

Has anyone noticed in the brochue that the dealer option wheels are toque thrusts with spinner on them.....

I have to say that this is one of the best cars I have ever been in. Like Neil said its a sweet ride, even from the back seat. I am 6'4" and was able to fit in the back okay. I could not sit all the way up without hitting my head but there was leg room and enough room for me to put both of my 14s under the seat. Man the bucket seats in the back are nice, they are very supportive and hold ya in. It was a hell of a ride I must say.
