I Now Understand what the 2005 Mustang GT is All About

The thing is that Retro styling is the in styling right now. Not just at Ford but many other automakers. It's just the way things are going now. For those who don't like it. It will be gone in a few years.

Now as far as GM is concerned I am actually bummed out that they gave up on the camaro. I liked the competition between the cars.


Yea i agree with you man. The trend is retro styling...thats why i gave the example of the corvette....because they redesigned it but tastefully advanced the look of it.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the most POPULAR classic Mustang designs was the 1969 & 1970 Boss 302, designed by Larry Shinoda, son of Japanese immigrants. The 1963-1967 Corvette Sting Ray and the original 1967 Z/28 Camaro were also penned by Shinoda, who left GM to join Ford around mid-67 if my memory is correct. The Chief Engineer of the 2005 Mustang was Hau Thai Tang, Vietnamese immigrant! Yes, PLENTY of "Americans" (whatever that is, considering America is a melting pot of all races and ethinicities) were involved in Mustang styling. But your statements are flat ignorant, borderline racist, and you haven't the SLIGHTEST CLUE who designed these cars, you couldn't name a single name if your flippin entire real estate portfolio was hanging in the balance.... :nonono:

So much for cleaning up this thread huh? :D
 
I think plainer more sophisticated look is becoming the popular look in new cars today... If you haven't notice ALMOST every damn car has vents, wings, or a cheap speed/sporty look to it right off the production lines.. even if it isn't fast. I think rather then produce a "sleeper" Ford is attempting to introduce a more european/expensive looking body style with some classic cues from the 60's. Look how they redesigned the interior, they are trying to seal the gap between euro cars and american.
 
Pricks,
When I say Americans, I am also including the immigrants who have converted and who have become American citizens. I am not including the ones who are still legal alien residents. I was not wrong in what I said in my previous post. I forgot to clarify that an American includes one who is an immigrant who is a legal American citizen. Anybody else who designs our American cars who is an immigrant and who is not an American citizen is NOT an American. And I am not a racist. Maybe you got your facts wrong Pricks.
Cheers.

Alright bro. Sorry to jump on your back but Ive been feeling under attack by GTO and 99 to 04 stang owners since posting about this new car. So many of these 99 to 04 owners feel jilted that FORD has left them in the dust. I dont understand why they take it out on the folks that prefer the 05s. It makes absolutly no sense. :shrug:

99-04
:nice:
05 :nice:
I love both..........cant we all just get along :flag:

Dude,, you sound like you dont know much about this world,, If you gonna think the way that youre thinking, then the only true americans are the Native Indians,,, just because you have a birth certificate that says US citizen, and then there's a guy from europe and lived here for 20 years BUT kept his citizenship, doesnt make you more "american" than him!
anyone that comes to this free country and gets a job, learns the language and get legal staus of residency is AMERICAN no matter what you say,,,,, it's because of loweducated people like you that there's still so much problem in this world!!
To the rest of you fellas, sorry for having this off topic subject, but someone had to put this Ron Jeremy :p in his spot and make him shut up! :)
 
I think he enjoys baiting you guys. He always gets a huge rise from everyone anytime he posts and you guys just swallow hook, line, and sinker every time by arguing and answering his posts. Why would you lower yourselves to this level?

I can't stand to read all the posts on this subject but my unsolicited advice is just ignore these individuals that have a known reputation for BS.

"It's all over folks. Nothing to see here. Move along"

I'm sure he does. I think Ron Jeremy was the same way.
 
I don't understand how anyone can think a mustang is a sleeper. :shrug: I love the new body style. Never cared much for the fox bodies, they just don't look like a mustang to me. the 94 - 97s(?) before they refined the body, I think look pretty sharp. The fact is, I wouldn't turn down any mustang.

Blah..blah...blah...blah.....same old troll BS we've been hearing from you for months. Give it a rest. We all know you like scoops. Now go away.

This is pretty funny... I haven't been reading this forum much, but you guys are awfully defensive about the '05. Personally, I like it, but some of you guys act like it's God's personal car... Accept some criticism, and get over it...

Obviously you haven't been reading the forum much or you'd know about the constant line of BS that PeformanceRed spews (he was termporarily banned for it not long ago). The first time he posted about the lack of scoops on the '05, I said OK, it's his opinion and that's cool. But he went on and on and on about it so I had to say something (along with most of the forum BTW). Perhaps before coming in here and throwing out accusations, you might want to do some reading so you will know what the hell is going on.

And if you don't like my criticism of you....get over it!

Fine, but you're proving exactly what I'm saying... It goes beyond this thread. The other one about the guy who supposedly went 13.2s with his auto is the same way...

I'm not proving anything for you. Check that thread out and find my posts and tell me exactly how I'm acting like "it's God's personal car". People post criticisms all the time about the '05 and I rarely respond to them. Other's do and you should be directing your criticism at them and not me.

If he doesn't know who Ron Jeremy is, he must be 14!!!

Jeeeezzzzus....14, that's huge. Wow, talk about giving the guy credit, DAMN.

Oh never mind, years, gotcha.

Very valid point. I don't know any male over the age of 30 who doesn't know who ron jeremy is. Hell they did a SPECIAL on him. HBO I think. The man is an icon.

I was willing to give performance red the benefit of the doubt, the first 80 or so times he ranted about his kazillions, and his scoops.

But this guy is clearly in need of education and puberty.
