Yeah the color from what I can see looks great. Unfortunatly i'm prolly gonna be the only person not into the new 'stangs. Don't get me wrong, the performance aspect is totally kick a** and then some. Also they sound unbelievable straight from the factory. But for me, there's just something about the design of the car that tweeks me a bit. The body lines are good, and like I said the color/s are great too. I just can't seem to get over the psuedo retro look. Eh, I suppose they'll end up growing on me, kinda like the new style Camaros did after they were re-introduced! None-the-less, enjoy your new toy!

Y'all gotta new 'Stang?
This is me--->  :bowdown:
LOL, nice car
I made a road trip to Denver wednesday night, saw a bad-ass red Mustang, had the stripe(s) down it, couldn't take much of a look, for the  traffic, though!

The stripes are why I gotta wait till Monday.  Getting silver ones. I'm just getting the decals.Even with the dealer installing them it's $600.  I've heard you can actually get them painted on from the factory, but the price is ludicrous!  Over 2000!

As far as the warrantee I'm not quite ready to crack into the motor itself yet.  I was gonna order the Steeda Charge Motion plates (from what I've read about them they REALLY wake this car up.) but I'll do that once I get some more mileage on it.

join the club there man, i hate the aspect of the newmustangs that incorperate the old ones i agree on the fact that they are fast as hell! but if they were gonna recreate the mustang from the 60s-70s they should have put fourth some effort!

I saw my first '05 on the street yesterday when I was getting propane. Blue GT just like yours. He saw me staring, and when he got out on the road, he ratted on it. Those things sound sooooo good.

Apperantly 300 horses and a new 3-valve motor aren't exuding enough effort.  :rolleyes:

Yup, i'm learned (know/realized). I don't have a nack for appropriate wording. But I stand by my unsure-ness of the styling.  :sorry:

SWEETNESS!  I have it!Of course I had to drive it home in the snow because I am cursed  :bricks1:    It has since turned to rain though.Tomorrow morning when I get home from work I'll snap off some more pics of her.  I have to bring it back next week to get the stripes put on.  I gotta tell you though I may just keep it without.  When I post the pics tell me your opinions on this.

Nice pony, that color is wicked. 

Since we're arguing the design elements, I'm gonna hijack the thread.  I really like the 'stang but I absolutely HATE the Shelby Cobra Concept Car and hope like hell they don't build that.  The AC Ace, Cobra 289, and Cobra 427 are definately among the most beauiful cars ever; but I can't stand the new concept one, ugh!
