well, let me tell you , their is a 05 silver 5 speed gt at my mustang shop of choice. and i will tel you it is noticible quicker than a 99-04. And the ride is near luxury quality, and was quiet with the windows up. The clucth take up is frickin honda easy now too. PIctures do not do this car justice at all. I had mixed feelings till i saw one, rode in it/drove it. NOW I GOT TO HAVE ONE! i see this car running a 13.8 or so with a good driver, It just feels noticably much better powerwise than a 96-98 4v or a 99+2v.
