Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / May 2005New 05 Stang
I just got a new 05 Stang.....did own a 2000 Mustang GT. Wow, the 05 is SO MUCH better...tighter, better handling, better looking interior, quieter cabin, and best of all, FINALLY on a Mustang, comfortable sports seats...very similar to the Corvette. I had new rims put on yesterday at Discount. Can anyone recommend the best Mustang magazines and parts sites? Thanks, Bill Pick up a copy of Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords.

Stock everything. He did get it in the 14's. Talked to him for a few minutes. He said he had tried every launch RPM from 1,000 to 3,000 and he was going to go home because it was so violent he was sure it would self destruct. My 87, 89 and 03 have never showed a hint of this.

Haven't really heard of this problem in the mags. Wonder if it was the track.. Joe Calypso Green '93 5.0 LX AOD hatch with a few goodies Black '03 Dakota 5.9 R/T CC Hey, I'm looking at selling my 2000 GT and getting an '05 too. Did you get one off the lot or did you order (I was planning on ordering)? I've heard there's a bit of a wait for the 05's (and occasional MSRP+ pricing). What was your experience? What area of the country are you in? Sorry for all the questions, but I just haven't seen too many GT's around here (Pittsburgh/Western PA). The dealers mostly have V6's and I've seen maybe one or two GT's on the road. Thanks! Jesse > Sorry for all the questions, but I just haven't seen too many GT's > around here (Pittsburgh/Western PA). The dealers mostly have V6's and > I've seen maybe one or two GT's on the road. The weird experience I've have is that I saw lots of 05s before I got mine, even a fair number of GTs. I'd see one or two a day. Since I got mine several weeks ago, I've seen exactly four. Where'd they all go? Are they hiding? Prediction: the resident troll will claim they all fell apart. I'm in Texas. I just sold a Porsche 968 and bought my 2005 GT. The dealer told me it would take 4 - 6 months to custom order one. They got a dealer to send a new GT (Sonic Blue, 5 spd, leather, Bullitt wheels, shaker 1000 stereo) in a dealer trade for a new ford pickup from their lot. This was very close to what I wanted (didn't need a boom box stereo). The shaker stereo takes about 4" off the passenger side of the trunk, so if you carry golf clubs they have to lay diagonally across. The dealers here DON"T deal at all...you pay MSRP or someone else will shortly come along and buy it. There are a ton of V-6 models on the lots but GT's are scarce. Just my $.02 Mike > Hey, I'm looking at selling my 2000 GT and getting an '05 too. Did you > get one off the lot or did you order (I was planning on ordering)?

They are selling as I'm starting to see quite a few on the streets lately. The new 2006s should be starting soon. I've heard the 18 inch wheel option is coming, plus a pony package for V6s which puts on the fog lights and 17 inch wheels. Interesting. >I just got a new 05 Stang.....did own a 2000 Mustang GT.
