Any one else have this problem? I just got my Torch Red 5spd GT with leather Med parchment interior, IUP Mycolor, shaker 500, bullit wheels, 12-28 and I love everthing about it.I cant stop driving it, trying to find places to go to drive it,thinking about the next time Ill drive it. I have been waiting for this car seams like forever. This is my first new car, I have bought my wife her fourth new car and my two girls their first cars so now its my turn.
I was looking for a sports car that I could fall in love with and was exciting to drive. I started out with the 350Z and the RX-8. I test drove both, eliminated the 350Z(cant rotate the tires, cant recline the seats) and was ready to buy the RX-8 when I saw the first pics of the new Mustang.I knew I had to wait to test drive it to see if it was as great to drive as itr was to look at. My son and family wanted me to buy the RX-8.You know the RX-8 is a great car ,and everyone thats owns one told me they love it. But its so quiet and you have to rev it way up, like all the forieign imports, to get the power.It feels more like a luxury car than a sports car.
Is it just me or does anyone else feel that a sports car just has to have that growl?Its kind of like a Harley motorcycle , its all about the right sound and attitude. I mean the imports like Honda have the 4 and 6 cylinders down to an art but theres just no replacement for displacement, you just cant beat an american v8. Now that Im driving my 05 Mustang I know I made the right decision.I see 350z's and RX-8's all the time but they dont get a second look, my Mustang steals all the attension.
Looks like most of us new 05 owners have choose the bullit style rims also.I think they go best with the retro look, I think the Bright machined rims looked too busy.
I cant beleive all the attension this car attracts. I was at a Discount Auto, some one says hey theres a new Mustang in the parking lot, I grin and say its mine.Next thing you know all the salsemen are outside checking her out.

, And I can't think of any other similarly priced new car that gets as much attention as the New Stang. While yes it will be short lived, maybe a few months, but for now I know what it must be like to own an exotic, EVERYONE notices.
