That's just rumor and speculation, and a lot of people have been wrong so far in predicting things about the '05. Ford knows very well that Mustang owners mod their cars, and they will not alienate the market by making it hard to mod. Remember that the same exact thing was rumored about the '96 Mustangs before they came out. It was wrong then...1105 said:The new mustangs dont really work for me that well. I heard that ford made it where they wont respond that well with mods... Any truth behind this?
No, that's not the exact one. That picture was originally a Motor Trend shot of the silver one that Ford was bringing to all the shows earlier this year. Ford put the stripes on it as part of the "Trilogy of Power" (Mustang GT, Shelby Cobra concept, and Ford GT -- all were silver with stripes). It's been photoshopped to approximate mineral grey as closely as I can get it. Ford won't be offering racing stripes from the factory -- but for about $250 I'll be adding them soon after I buy itdonjohn said:Is the one in the pic the exact one? cuz it's sweet especially with the stripes
I don't know yet, Ford hasn't released pricing, they usually do that just before JOB1. I expect MSRP for what I've ordered to be right about $26,800, and I will be getting it for a little over invoice, so maybe $25k or socan i ask how much it set you back?

And speaking of rumors, it sounds like the 3V 4.6L may be putting down around 290 rwhp stock. Just think what it would do with a Kenne Bell...

I think your going to a very similar situation to the how the 4.6 is today...its gonna be slow at first, but im sure it will pick up...id be interested to see aftermarket heads for them...i bet the heads are designed well enough to make PLENTY of powerJoes95GT said:Congrats on the score Dave. They should be pretty sweet, but I wonder what the torque curve is going to be like? Same as the 4V?
I can also see where people come from about making them hard to mod. There will probably so much electronic chit on here that it will be hard to do anything without wacking out the computer.
It will still have all the "Mustang" parts that enthusiasts like to swap out: 8.8 rear, MAF, TB, cams, pulleys, shifters, probably heads and intake manifolds down the line, headers, H-pipes, and catback exhaust stuff. You should be able to mod it up a little bit...
They sure do look sweet though!
