I can see this being an awsome car in a year or two if Ford puts a little more styling in it (like they did with current model after it came out). Special editions could also be really cool.
I agree, the Stang will be better in a year or two.

In the slalom the new Mustang feels alltogether more precise, predictable and stable than the car it replaces. The firmer platform is better suited to allowing the suspension and tires to do their jobs more effectively. Where the old car slides as a whole past each cone (unpredictabley at that) the 2005 bites hard on initial turn-in, trasfers weigth in the blink of an eye, and manages rear roll-steer far better. Just a hint of opposite-direction wheel input brings the rear end back in line with an authortative snap, ready for the next cone. The best run was over 66 MPH, better than any previous Mustang except for the race-ready Cobra R of 2000. In typical Mustang fashion, the new car lapses into terminal understeer in the slower-speed skidpad test, but still manage a Cobra-like 0.84g orbit. In case you are wondering how the new Mustang stacks up against the GTO: The American pony is faster and nimber than the Austrialian-bred goat, automatic or manual -

You wouldn't be having buyer's regret on your 03 would you.
