We got a lot of great info. fromt he MT & HR articles, but there are a bunch of things I still want to know about the 2005 Mustang. Maybe some of the answers are in the text that wasn't scanned in. In any case, here's what's keeping me awake at night:
1. Will the hood have struts or a stupid prop rod?
2. What material is the trunk lid made out of?
3. What is the rear axle ratio?
4. Will there be optional rear end ratios?
5. Will it use the same traction control system as the Lincoln LS does, where the speedometer comes from a wheel sensor? With the LS system you can change the rear end gears and the speedometer & odometer still read correct becasuse they come from the wheels.
6. Will there be an IRS option for the GT?
7. What will the first special edition Mustang be? When will it be available? And what will be under its hood?
8. What are the available paint colors?
9. Do the rear seats fold down?
10. Does the trunk lid have struts like the present Mustang or did they go back to those obnoxious J hook hinges?
11. What will the prices be?
12. When is it really going into production? I heard the 4.6L 3V engine goes into production in May.
13. What is the gas tank capacity?
14. Will there be a climate contol option?
15. How about a heated seat option?
16. What will the availble audio systems be? Same Mach 460 & 1000?
17. Will Factory Sirius satellite radio be available?
18. Will there be a navigation system option?
19. Does the steering wheel telescope (I assume it tilts)?
20. Will the seatbelt retractors really work and not just work about 1 out of 10 times like my 2001 GT?
21. Will the headlights be better than the present Mustang?
22. How fast is the GT in 0-60 and the 1/4?
23. Will they finally fix the 3650 so it doesn't grind into 2nd gear?
24. Will a T6 be optional on the GT?
25. Does the exhaust have an H pipe (GT) or have they gone to something like an X?
26. Does the standard exhuast system (GT) sound any good?
27. What will the interior colors be?
28. Is the 3V GT engine under rated?
An how come no matter what information you get all it does is raise more questions?
