    Black Bullit-style wheels with center spinner?

    I don't have any close ups yet. I'll try to post some soon. The tires are BFG g-force T/A 255/45/18's all around. Wheels came from Crossroadz direct, tires from The Tire Rack. I'm really loving this combo. I thought it would look good, but it's better than I imagined. A very dark and...

    shaker 500 or 1000

    For people happy with the 1000 or 500, I mean no offense. My advice is to keep it and like it. It is way too easy to get sucked into high performance audio and devote way too much money to it. Most people would probably think the 1000 is great. If you're used to a decent or good system...

    What size rims do you want on your '05?

    http://www.discounttire.com/dtc/findWheelDetail.do?step=details&source=vehicle&index=26&productCodeIndex=67278&path=wheel I like the 18X9 Halibrand Cobra III's, especially on a Mineral Grey Stang. I would want the knock off's like on the V6's though.

    No 05 Mustang @ Denver Autoshow

    They had all the stuff you can buy right now, but nothing that's coming in the near future or distant future. That seems to be the thing with this show. Never many concepts. Toyota did have a big concept truck, Chevy had a concept truck too. As far as trucks right now, the new Ford F-150 has the...

    No 05 Mustang @ Denver Autoshow

    What a huge let down. :bang: :mad: :fuss: No GT or Cobra concept either. They didn't even have an 04 Mustang Cobra! No new Vette. No Jeep Rescue. No Ferrari's at all. What a crappy show. (Ok, they did have a Lambo Gallardo, that was cool.) My advice is to keep your $9.

    How many "returning" Stang enthusiasts?

    I had an 88 5.0 GT Vert. Moved from CA to CO. The Stang was not a good car for snowy winter mountain driving. Traded it in for a front wheel drive. Now I'm getting to the point that I can afford a weekend/nice weather car. The 05 is calling. :D

    Worth the Wait...

    I'm gonna get an 05 GT. I'm hoping the rumors of 280 RWHP are true. If so, I don't think I'll need much more. Maybe some light mods to take it to 300 or so. By 07/08 maybe I'll "need" a Cobra.

    05 Mustang on TV?

    Ha! Answered my own question. It was on "World's Greatest Autos" just now on Speed channel. It will air again tonight at 8:00 (mountain time). Watch for the Stang about 11 minutes in. :D :D :D

    05 Mustang on TV?

    Has there been any coverage of the 05 on TV? I try to catch Motorweek, Car & Driver TV, Hot Rod TV, Popular Hot Rodding, Motor Trend TV, Autoweek and whatever else I can find, but I haven't seen anything about the 05 Stang. These are all cable shows and I can't ever seem to remember when...

    Your First Mod's

    That's a good point. Actually I always have it done. I don't have the time or patience. And, I haven't been impressed with any of the shops I've used on my last several cars. I'll be doing a lot of homework before leaving it with anyone. Maybe the stock stereo will be good enough to leave...

    What to do...Wait for the 05 or save a ton on an 04 Mach

    I'm kind of in the same boat. Looked at a sweet 03 Cobra with 3K miles for $27K. They sit really nice, and I've always liked the looks of this body. I'm heavily leaning towards the 05 though. I drove an 02 GT vert, and was dissapointed in the way it drove. Sweet sound, good power, but crappy...

    how do you justify buying a NEW car?

    Before the concept Stang came out, I was all set on buying an 01/02 GT in 04, and spending the money getting it the way I would want it. Wheels, tires, suspension, seats, shifter and engine mods. I added it all up and with the car I was looking at about $25K. Then I saw the 05 and have...

    how do you justify buying a NEW car?

    I can justify new cars. Too many clunker old cars in my family growing up I guess. I have no time, few tools, and not much interest in repairing cars. I absolutely hate being stranded. I also have a job where being late could cost the company thousands of dollars. I have a theory that...

    Supercharging an 05?

    What are everyone's thoughts on the durability of the aluminum engine in the 05 in regards to adding an aftermarket supercharger? For durability/warranty commitment reasons, Ford opted for the iron block in the Cobra when they supercharged it. I know a lot of people have supercharged...

    The 05 is the best new car of the year

    I think so too. I was really hoping they'd fix the huge ugly rear end of the Vette. Instead they added some Viper like creases to the hood. Snore. The 05 Stang is a complete redesign, and if internet "buzz" is any indicator, the new Stang is going to be a huge success. Someone was tracking...
