I've seen a few! One was yellow with white pin-striping.... BUTT UGLY!!!!

But later that same day I saw a black one... with 5% tints!!! I had to get a towel to stop drewling!!! It was also lowered!! Very sexy

I saw a red, appeared to be V6, some chick was driving it. I'm still on the edge if I like them or not. I just don't get the same feeling I had when the 99's 1st came out.

Yeah I know the feeling... I only liked the one 05 cause it looked badass...
But I still like the 99-04 body style better

I have seen alot of v6 but no v8.

Jeremy 12-08-2004 03:11 PM

I have seen one black GT on the road. And one v6. I had to pull over and wait for the GT to get close. It was sweet.

02wt5sp 12-08-2004 03:31 PM

I've seen a few GT's, and a whole lot of v6's. I'm not too happy with the 1/4 mile times I've seen, I was expecting alot faster.

EH819 12-08-2004 04:45 PM

I'm starting to see a few around where I live.

TayWolf55 12-08-2004 04:50 PM

I've seen a few. We were in the cobra and a guy with a brand new 05 GT came up to us. I like them.

svtnos 12-08-2004 04:52 PM

seen em??? shoot we have begun the conversion process already!!!

dilo2001gt 12-08-2004 04:55 PM

i have seen a 6 banger but thats it. what are the 1/4 times for these bad boys? i heard just about the same as the 99+ but maybe a tenth or two quicker.

Ford has restricted them a lot. The computer starts closing the thottle body when it gets close to redline... how stupid. With a flash (you cant put a chip in them), gears, and some easy bolt ons they are hitting 12s.


Just a tune will really do these cars wonders just like the C6, since i think it has some sort of problem like this with the stock tune. JDM got a 13.4 out of their gt stock, and now with:

-underdrive pulleys
-Tune (300/315)
-catback
-lowering springs
-rear QA1 shocks (needed these because they had wheel hope with the et's)
-17" streets (1.6X 60ft)
-and i think gears

they got it to go a 12.50@108. Full weight too...jack and all

Islander03GT 12-08-2004 08:50 PM

I've seen quite a few... mainly V6's and most are in yellow.

Seen a few GT's including the one MMR is using to develop some new suspension parts.

SilverSteed03 12-08-2004 10:55 PM

I've never seen a V6 on the road. I've seen 3 GT's, and none of them wanted to race. One didnt want to race my friend's Hyundai Elantra, one was in heavy traffic, and one was a guy who seemed to be afraid of my 03 V6 for some reason... All i want to see is how bad one of them will kill me! Haha

rebelyell 12-08-2004 11:39 PM

I've seen a few GT's. I went to my dealer to get my tags for my 04 in october and there was 2 on the lot. They're actually pretty large cars. Not really "All That" IMHO. They look good from the front or the rear. But looking at one just sitting there, ah hell they're sweet I admit it!! LOL :p .

If and when I get beside 1 at a stop light.. It's on then. Yeeehaw!!!

venom 12-09-2004 05:15 AM

Its like having a circle of friends then a new guy is introduced to it. We will eventually like it. I remeber I did not like the sn95 body style and now I own one.

2000 STEEDA 12-09-2004 07:22 AM

Have any of you actually test driven an 05? This is what I took away from it.

They are very strong and have lots of guts. A very fun car to drive.

BUT... I simply hated the interior. I was TOO retro with the big straight dash ans all the gadgety looking stuff. It did not have the wrap-around feel to it that mine has. So the drive and looks are great, but I hated sitting in it. Just my take.

xcler8 12-09-2004 07:53 AM

They are all around the KC area..I have driven a GT, and started up a V6....V6 sounded TERRIBLE...I really think the V6's are going to have a problem selling. No one will mod the exhaust because they now have a single cut-out in the rear bumper, and the side trim pieces are all in black vs body color for GT's...I think the V6 for the price increase is not worth it....

The GT was weird to drive....it does not feel like a mustang...seat position is different, very tight driver, and the gears help tremendously get the car moving....overall I was very impressed with the fit and feel of the car....seems to be a solid mid to high 13 second car for most drivers for the 5speeds....Even shifting aggressively the car (suspension wise) really responded well...

tlh03122001 12-10-2004 03:14 PM

ive seen a couple, very nice have yet to race one but it's early.

NoKturnaL 12-11-2004 11:51 AM

Those 05's are not that good looking at all ( my opinion )

Mustangdewd3.8 12-11-2004 12:15 PM

not on the road yet and I dont want to see one on the road till I get one lol.

Went up to them at dealers though. :)

SilverSteed03 12-11-2004 12:52 PM

They actually sound pretty good with stock exhaust. When i was at the dealership checking one out, I quickly discovered that the keys to a black 05 GT were carelessly left under the e-brake. I really, really wanted to start it up to hear it, but I figured the salesmen wouldnt be too happy about that.. Stupid willpower...

MustangRay 12-11-2004 08:34 PM

Haven't seen an 2005 Mustang outside of the Dealership. I think they only come out at night. :D I saw a new Ford Five Hundred does that count? lol

809 12-11-2004 09:58 PM

Just ran behind one at VIR yesterday. It was a v6 but still handled very well. I was impressed, but not enough to get one.

This is the only pic I have of the 2005 used as a pace car at VIR.

04SVTDRIVER 12-12-2004 02:32 PM

Yeah quite a few actually there is even a pilot that owns one at my sq. Very nice and noise out back sounds pretty good too!

MustangV6 12-12-2004 04:33 PM

Just saw a silver 05 driving around town and man did it look awesome!
