    5spd auto

    Guys, I'm not buying the 2005 Mustang unless it has air brakes, tandem rear axle (with independent suspension), at least 1000 horsepower (rear wheel, not crank), a handy dash-mounted fuel filler, and headlights that change color with the dash lights. Geez, you can't please anyone these days...

    4.0 V6 in the base 05 mustang

    Yeah, I see your point. I'm sure with the GT being ~300hp they also wouldn't want to compromise their GT sales to the V6 if the hp difference becomes too small. It's likely the profit margin on the GT is much higher. Just the same, I'd like to think even in the base model that I could...

    T-tops and Sunroof on the '05 Stang

    I would definitely get a targa top or T-top even if it were an extra couple thou. Screw body rigidity. I don't plan on racing on the Nacar circuit. Besides, the new chassis has a bazillion-load more rigidity than the old one, and I never had a problem with the old one. I'd be willing to be 99%...

    More info on the 4.0 V6?
