More than just a rumor, fact I beleive. I don't rememeber where online but I saw the taillights in a video, and they were sequintial. I don't know for sure about the headlights though.

PColav6 12-14-2008 08:44 PM

Sequential tail lights are standard. HID headlights are optional (again)

There's a guy I work with that has a GT 500 with a real push-start button. He's a freaking computer freak and he said that he'd help me find out how to do it for mine as well. He has both a GT 500 and an SVT Focus that's been modded into a RS that have push-start buttons without a key. I've seen it done before on a few other places I found on Google, but nothing I could buy so we'll see how it works out here in the next week or so.

I wish they'd just go ahead and put HIDs on them. It's a $500 addition on the sticker, but if you buy them separately it's almost $1000...I wanted HIDs for mine until I saw that.

HIDs are not 1k lol..

2010 FTW.

But yeah, the 2010 is considered an S197 still.

Are they really?? Most of the aftermarket for it will be much different.

mustangV6_04 12-15-2008 05:46 AM

Its got a lot of nice changes.

Black Sunshine 12-15-2008 09:04 AM

I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate the rear end on the 2010's. It is so damn ugly it makes me want to punch babies. I do not like the new location of the antenna, now that I have taken the time to really look at it. I also do not like all of the tacky-ass plastic on the rear. It looks absolutely horrible and cheap.

I am definitely keeping my S197. I don't give a shit if the 2011 or 2012 has 350 horses or whatever. If I want more power, I'll just get a supercharger.

I dunno sunshine, I'm willing to bet it's going to grow on you. I used to despise the new STI/WRX hatches. Then I saw some stuff like this:

Just wait till someone throws some meats underneath and takes a straight on picture of the rear. You'll be screaming for more. :)

Black Sunshine 12-15-2008 10:29 AM

I have looked at it and looked at it and it just doesn't do anything for me. Even if someone does do something to make the 2010 better, the rear will still have that ugly bubble-ness to it. I'm not saying that my opinion may not change in the future, but it damn sure isn't going to change anytime soon. Damn thing is just ugly.

Badfish 12-15-2008 10:30 AM

haha, fair enough

or I have seen guys just wire it up off a momentary switch from autozone. There are several right-ups on the net. Most sites will suggest wiring it up so you still need a key inserted into the car to prevent an easy theft of your vehicle. I mean if you need no key, then any crook could bash in the window press the button and off he drives with out even trying.

If they made that black plastic on the front bumper of the black car actually fiberglass and painted it might look better. but those pictures definetly sway my opinion of the wagon

Switch 12-15-2008 03:43 PM

Am I the only one who thinks that the new mustang is uuugly >_<

JackThe Ripper 12-15-2008 03:54 PM

no, not the only one. lol

i disagree with black sunshione though, i think the rears on the 2010's are a drastic improvement over the rear of the 05-09

Yea that's what I was talking about. His is set-up to where all he does is insert his key and then press the button. I've seen others to where they've gone WAY overboard and had the whole chipped-key thing done to where it senses the key is in the car and lets them push-start...Idk it was just something I always thought was cool to have.

Deathdiesel 12-15-2008 07:29 PM

actually i cant stand the s197 loook idk it looks allot like my moms 08 malibu on the rear end, i personally hope it wont ever hit the lots. :\ somethin about it i dislike allot

Also +100 to u :)

"I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate the rear end on the 2010's. It is so damn ugly it makes me want to punch babies. I do not like the new location of the antenna"
Cant remember who posted this but +200 to u XD

08mustang_gt 12-15-2008 09:35 PM

If I did ever get the 2010 there'd be some MAJOR body work being done to it. I like the entire, it has its pro's and con's, but the body looks fuuugggly as hell. As for the HP, the only thing they did was take out the butterflies in it, which loses torque so it is almost pointless anyways. I still like my 08 a whole lot better, th 2010 may be the way of the future, but I sure as hell don't like it.

Maybe they'll will realize it looks like a deformed fish, or a fucked up audi.....

Stephen4036 12-15-2008 09:44 PM

kind of random but have u posted pics of your 08 GT there buddy?

08mustang_gt 12-16-2008 04:46 AM

I haven't taken any yet. When we got the car we moved like two weeks later and I with work and trying to get situated in our house I never took any during the summer. Now it's all snow and salt here, but I've been trying to catch it on an okay day so I can get some pictures.

I have some pictures of her.....but I'm in there as well....and I'd rather not show them lol.

BlueOvalFanatic 12-18-2008 07:55 PM

I am sure I'll get somewhat used to them in time, but I am not liking it yet. The interior is cool, except for the rectangular vents. I think the 05-09 looks better, and more retro. The ass end looks like an old Celica or something.

I can look at the 05-09's, and see some 65-66, some 67-68, some 69-70, and even a little 4th generation 71-73. The 2010 looks like an import. I'd gladly take one, and i'm sure it will eventually grow on me, but right now, it's blah...However, one thing I do think is cool is how the body line kicks up slightly just behind the door. Thats a nice touch.

+1. I'd paint all the plastic trimming (the skirts, the bottom of the rear, the bottom of the front) to match the color of the car for starters. That one baby blue drifting (sponsored by Falken Tires) mustang had them painted it looked pretty good actually. I can't find any pictures of it, but it was on the reveal special awhile back.

SeanStang 12-18-2008 09:00 PM

Well after some searching I was able to find the pictures I was talking about. Vaughn Gittin's new Stang. A lot of the plastic shit is painted and makes the car look a hell of a lot better, first thing I'd do if I was to ever get one.

The 05-09 definatly looked like the 64-69 stangs, this new one looks like they are taking more influence off the 70's stang with the headlights and those little bars, they just got it bass ackwards

mustangrn 12-18-2008 09:26 PM

I gotta go with sunshine on this. I can't stand the ass end, and the front end reminds me of the challenger. I despise the plastic molding. It looks cheap and tacky on a muscle car. I'll be keeping my 07 and adding the horsepower as I see fit. I would rather go a little slower than look like shit.

00blkstanggt 12-19-2008 08:45 AM

I like it, but I think it would look 200 times better with some different rims. The rims IMO are hideous. Throw some sweet looking deep dishes on there and I bet it's going to look damn sexy.
