What's your agenda Omegalock? You seem to be going out of your way to try and start some "hate". My advice buy an 04 Mach 1 for 24k/25k because you won't be about to buy an 05 GT for that with the options the Mach has. Thouhgt I'd post your registry BS here so everyone can see your effort to prove your point. Give it a rest and good luck, most of us have what we want were just past the GT stages in our lifes. My next car will be a Shelby/Boss/Cobra not a GT. I already owned 3 fox bodies now time to move up the food chain to the less common Mustangs........

What did I say over there what makes you want to laugh exactly?
Ok let me spell something out for you because it sounds like you don't keep current on internet terms.
Lurking is the act of reading a message board but not registering.
A "lurker" usually is intrested in the topic of what ever board they are lurking on and just don't feel like going through the hassle of registering until they have something to actually say.
Ever notice why there are so many "guests" viewing the boards? They are lurkers. My lurking isn't a cloack and dagger "OH MY GOD! Look at these evil people! I'm gonna go tell!" No far from it. I like the Machs. I liked following the progress of people in their rides seeing how fast they are making them any problems being had, etc... ya know normal car lover stuff. I never registered here to talk about them because I didn't feel like I needed to.

It seems like he's reporting on us "evil Mach 1 owners". Come on kid, if you dont want to hear about us liking the car that we shelled out good money for, take a hike. You forget, this website is MACH1 registry, for MACH1 owners. What did you expect to hear? If you dont like it, tough! Stay on the general mustang websites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find one single instance where I said ANYTHING like that. Here let me quote my post over there and break it down since
most of you are taking things far the wrong way.

Ok here lately over the last 3 weeks or so I've been lurking on Mach boards to see what kind of times they are running etc because if the GT is close to the Mach even in the least it should run close to the same times.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been reading the Mach 1 boards to see what kind of times they are running due to the fact the GT will have a similar power output and similar weight. Ok clear enough? Did I violate any of your rules by doing so if so let me know.

Something I've noticed is that a decent amount of Mach owners are dang near the point of hating the 05. A few ragging on the fact it will be heavier than the old GT(yet lighter than their car), a few even saying it'll be a 14 second car etc...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok now do you deny that there are people that do not like this car? Do you deny people have made statements infering that the 05 will be heavy without taking into consideration it will likely be lighter than the Mach. Do you also deny people have made statements calling the 05 a 14 second car? All can be found here.
So did again speaking the truth did I violate a rule of some sort?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anybody else think that should the 05 GT run with(or heaven forbid beat) the Mach we might have another nasty intercar rivalry like the V6 owners versus V8 owners?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok after qualifying and giving back ground on why I was thinking about this I ask the question that I wanted opinions on. If the 05 runs with the Mach will we have a nasty intercar rivalry? Those rivalries exist they are well known and documented.
Again did I do something that offends you by asking if we might have the makings of this in the near future?

I'd hate to see Mach and 05 GT owners at each other's throats simply because Ford decided to make both cars fast.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok now if this last sentence doesn't prove I meant no mallice and am not out to tattletell or rag on you guys then I don't know what will. I clearly state I'd hate to see Mach and 05 owners at each others throats. I obviously care enough about the Mustang scene enough that I don't want such things to happen. I just wanted to know what other people thought. Again I fail to see the crime in this. Please enlighten me.

No offense but you just said you were not a car snob yet you say car snob opening line number 1. I've driven numerous GTs and Cobras from 94 up. I've watched them run ever since I was 10.
Though I don't own one I do have enough back ground in the things to make a judgement call about the cars. Nothing I've said thus far is false. You've even admitted to it to a point.
Now with that said we can continue to debate this like civilized people or you can fly off the handle and join 00GT in the "I toss insults and call other people who haven't done anything trolls."
Nothing like an expert that doesn't even own a Mustang and never really got to do anything but maybe granny around on someone elses car tell us about a car that isn't even out yet. I've owned 6 and raced quite a few more models so my judgement my be a little better than a mag racer's IMO....
