I'm guessing they are saying that because of the rumored cylinder head problems.

This thread is pretty humorous in light of the fact that this thread:

http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=506547

shows pics of GTs on a truck on their way to the dealers.

That truck may not being heading towards the dealerships.

They might be pre-production ones.. used for photo's... there's a pic floating around of the Legend Lime that has the same mountain background. It's still under discussion.

I live like 15 mins from AAI and have taken many pics there. I did see trains that looked like they were ready to be loaded, but didn't witness this happening.

So far.. doesn't look like any have been offically shipped out yet. Although Jay Leno already has his Torch Red GT.

Maybe it "is" true that the 2005 Mustang GT's all have problems with the cylinder heads. Maybe it will take until January of 2005 to fix the problem. Maybe Ford is covering up their blunder. Maybe there will be huge rebates because of this problem. Maybe Ford will finally get it right when they fix the cylinder head problem. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Everything is only a maybe.

Maybe you'll find proof that the problem exists. Maybe you'll finally explain what a blown side scoop is. Maybe you will make a post that doesn't sound like a bitter troll. Maybe elephants will drive a V8 powered VW beetle out my belly button while singing metallica. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

The rumor I heard from my uncles, wife’s, gynecologists, secretaries dogs, veterinarian said that the 2005 mustang won’t be out until 2007 because of the cylinder head problem. Ford has decided to scrap internal combustion engines in the mustang and make it a pure electric solar car with front drive. The car will have 986 horsepower electric motor though and be priced under $20,000. IRS will be an option. The new john force top fuel powered cobra will be out in 2010 and be priced under $22,000.

The 2005 Mustang GT uses the EXACT same cylinder head as the F-150 5.4L. Has anyone seen proof that we Ford won't ship any F-150s with 5.4's until January. I don't think so.

A "blown" side and hood scoop is a scoop which is "protruding" outwards from where it is affixed on the vehicle. A good example are the side and hood scoops that the 2001-2004 Mustang GT's have. They are blown outwards and look nice. The 2005 Mustang would look a lot nicer if it had scoops like this. Without the scoops, it looks too bland. And I don't care if the scoops are functional or not. What matters is that it makes the Mustang look nicer with them on the car.

I hope that I have now cleared up what I mean by "blown" scoops to all the children in here who have no clue what I am talking about.

Check this out on Brad Barnett's site:

This already has his window sticker from the dealer. I doubt Ford would send the window sticker to the dealer now if the car wasn't going to be delivered until January.

Again, this is just your opinion. IMO, the "clean" design looks better. I think it'll sell just fine without your "blown" scoops.
