Default Have you guys seen the new 2005 Mustang yet ??

I'm sorry...but this thin is gonna make me SERIOUSLY consider owning a Ford !!!



It's just got ALL the right classic cues, 300+hp, a 5-speed automatic as an option,

The motor is an ALL NEW 4.6 liter dual-overhead cam 3 valve all-aluminum V8

I just though someone here might like this...

Wow, it looks different than all the pictures I have seen in the magazines. It looked great for all the models, but that looks like it is comming up a little short of the mark! Well, what do you expect from ford!

But man, Chevy had to go get rid of the camaro and firebird line. Without even trying, Chevy was making a vehicle that spanked all fords.

I think it'd look way better without those two extra lights in the grille

The six-cylinder version comes without the driving lights....I like them though, kinda think it reminds me of the BOSS 302 days

They were taking pictures of the new stang at a studio near a local school a couple of days. Wow! They sure look impressive in person, very retro looking.

I really really like it...

I'm alittle up in the air about the aux lights, but they're different enough that I'd keep them on.

I like that the 6 cylinder doesn't have them though... Pull them off and you have yourself a bit of a sleeper.

Can anyone say "Eleanor"? That's what those two front lights make the car resemble! I love it! I saw a production model at the Motor Trend auto show last weekend and it looked unreal in person. Had 18" rims and tires and you can also change the interior lighting to over 100 different colors!! The 18" wheels were chrome and looked awesome on the car! It's going to sell big for sure and it was a HUGE hit at the auto show!! The Ford rep at the show said there is rumor the 06 Cobra MIGHT have a 5.0L and at the same time in the 06 model they will be bringing out another Mach 1 version...all at the same time as the new Lightning...things are looking up for Ford and they are doing a good job!

I like it, it reminds me of my favorite Mustangs from the past. I was always partial to the fastbacks, I had a buddy that had a 1970 Mach 1 with the 351 Cleveland. I'm trying to talk my wife into looking at them when we decide to replace her car in a couple of years.
