    Bloody 5K over the sticker!

    Ford doesn't have anything to do with markups. That is set by the dealers and goes straight into their pockets.

    2005 Mustang GT with 20" rims.

    Those just don't look like 20's to me.

    I just wasn't satisfied with cervini's pic...

    I think the cheapness comes from the fact the the V6's have the stripe down the side. That's what does it for me.

    Possible 05 Saleen Pic

    That looks sweet!!

    Who wants to see the pictures I took today of the 2005 Mustang GT? (56K Killer!)

    I totally agree with you, Flash. That was one of the things I was counting on to change from the current interior. Why is it still recessed? Why did they continue this trend? It doesn't make any sense.

    Struts/Shocks....which way to go??

    I would have to say a big "no". An 03/04 Cobra already has Bilstein struts/shocks. They are said known to be great for both comfort and handling. Considering that you are more concerned about the ride, I would say that you'd be crazy to change them out.

    Anyone else find the current Cobra's seats to be very uncomfortable?

    You didn't get an 03 Cobra because of the seats? You won't get an 07 Cobra if the seats don't meet your expectations? IMO, that is a pretty ridiculous reason (if that is the only one). If they bother you that much, switch them out! We aren't driving Bimmers here, guy. The current Cobra costs...

    Has anyone raced a Subaru WRX STi?

    I'm assuming that by `used Chevy dealer' you mean that the car was used as well. Still a great deal if it is, though.

    03 COBRA or 05 GT ?

    Well, therein lies the rub. It's hard to say which one you like better because the 05 is not released . Some would say to wait until September/October and make your comparison at that point. But I am not one of those people. My vote? Cobra. :p

    2 Boss cars to choose from in 2005

    I agree with Bubba. The car is not even out yet. Putting these pictures out and making mention of things like "strokers" already is just plain cheese. At least wait for the car to come out first. Shinoda's web page is also pretty awful. In todays day and age it is not hard to make a nice...

    Wheels and Tires

    A 55 series profile? That is a total joke. That is a huge difference from what we have now. I wonder why with this car they had to use that profile with the 17". The only way to get match the tire diameter (move up to the 45 profile) is to go to 18's. I would love to get an explanation...

    The interior...

    As far I as I am concerned, the last guy on the assembly could take a dump on my dash on my 05 GT and I would like it better than the interior in my 02 GT. :D

    Buy a V6 or V8???

    Definitely go for the V8! Can you mod a V6 to make 300+ HP? Sure. Can you mod it to have the same characteristics as a V8 (power band, peak torque, etc.)? No. Don't get me wrong, people who buy the V6 are going to get a quality car that will be competive with other cars in the segment...

    mach 1

    I agree. To say that there will be no Mach 1 is premature. The Mach 1 was a huge success and as someone mentioned, would be quite appropriate for the new Mustang platform. It might not be the first special edition Mustang, but I think we'll see it on the S197 at some point.

    No 18 inch wheel eveyone e-mail ford and scream

    Aesthetically, I do like 18's. They look really good on the show cars that have been circulating at the auto shows. That being said, I have the Bullitt's on my current GT and I like the look. I really don't have an issue settling for a 17 inch rim. I don't even have an issue with losing 10mm...

    01 GT - Hate the seats & exhaust sound

    My main problem with the seats is exactly with an above poster said. The things only go half way up your back! Sure the Cobra and Mach seats are better, but still pretty crap ass. Try sitting in a real racing seat (I hate to say it, but try sitting in an SRT-4, they have wonderful seats.) I...
