Ok, so I got to see/sit in the 05 stang GT today at jordan ford here in san antonio. The car looks good, but lacks the muscular appearance and stance of the current body style. still looks awesome though , i think i still will be more partial to the 99+ stangs. I think the reason why is that the current body style is wider and more angular, giving it that aggresive look while the new stang appears to be more slender and longer
Heres the good part:
I talked to one of the designers of the 05 GTt...Larry Ericson to be exact......and asked him a few questions. Good news is that he told me the 05's are going to be close to a second faster than the current GT's hopefully, its true. guess we will really have to wait to find out.
I then asked him about the new cobra and he wouldnt give me a direct comment on the engine size. I told him i heard rumors that it was going to be a 5.7L s/c engine and all he said was that they are still working on the size of the motor. He said it will still be a 4V and also still be supercharged He then told me the new cobra will be "far above 400 hp.---His exact words by the way
I also have a GREAT vid of the exhaust of the 05 GT, but i need someone to host it....so if u can PM me or something
EDIT: forgot to add that while i was sitting in the 05, i shifted around a bit. The shifter feels soooo much better than the current ones. It is way way smoother and takes a crap load less effort to shift the gears. I could literally just tap the shifter and it would go into the next gear. shifter placement isnt tooo bad either not any worse than the current shifter location.
