Hey fellow stangers!

I shared this on the '05 forum as well but wanted to share it with the SVT people.

Cruising South on the 101 Freeway towards Westlake in SoCal and spotted a Light Blue '05 stang merge onto the freeway.
I slowed to let him catch up and he started to fly up fast. I was hoping he would come up and pace me but did a flyby. I dropped to 3rd and reeled him in...I was around 100mph by the time I caught up; not sure if he was trying to pull away.

After catching up he was in the lane next to me...threw him a thumbs up and he returned the gesture and left the freeway.

Anyone in this area know of any new models being tested or on show? I'm thinking it's at the Thousand Oaks Auto Mall. Maybe I'll go down there and ask some questions and take pics if its there (for the non-believers: ttown).

Edit: Undo! Damn sorry I wanted this in Talk forum.

Sup?! I'm in Camarillo.

Wait...where you on the 101...ummmm...when was it...about 4 days ago running me? You took the Carmen exit or someone else in a red Cobra.

I think they may be selling them already, I saw one out at the Sacramento Airport yesterday. It was a black GT, and I wasn’t much impressed personally. Parked my Cobra next to it and the GT didn’t look nearly as mean, but I guess I’m bias.

I wouldn’t say it looks bad at all; it just struck me as somewhat bland in style and not a muscular stance. My thoughts were reassured when I parked my car next to it and saw them both together.

It’s obviously a different look, and I’m sure with some body kits that will come out, like the GTR, it will look totally wicked, I’m happy with my dissension to get the Cobra instead.

On a side note looking at the 05 I have some concerns with front-end lift at high speeds with such a blunt front end. I can’t help but wonder what the stability would be like at 120+.

LOL, You guys would absolutely cream yourselves in motown.

I saw 4 yesterday. Silver, Blue, Red, and another Blue one. Also saw numerous, as in at least 5 C6 corvettes in Sterling Heights (GM Tech Center).

Ha! Did you hang out with...damn the name escapes me right now! He lived in Oxnard and had a Z28. But I think I have a video or picture of the group.

I second that, it did look bland. Maybe the black would of been better then the blue GT I saw.

Personally I think you made the absolute right decision going w/ the '03 Cobra.
