wow wow wow!! looks like a hot car! i luv it :)...i want one in kraft dinner powdered cheese orange :)

[mapleleaf4ever]

I just want one... fuck whatever colour it's in... I won't be going slow enough for you to see that.

[matéo]

thats pretty Ill! my dad has a 2005 GT with a 5 speed he will cream when he sees this.

[tvmann]

Problem is by the time most 20-somethings can afford one of these 450 HP beasts, you won't want one. It just won't interest you and you'll want something sensible.

The solution is to just get the cash somehow and buy it, forget about that condo or next month's rent. Just get out there and burn rubber and give the fuzz something to point the radar at.

[galaxie]

OMFG!! @#$%

Soooooo glad I didn't buy the 2005 GT after all!
Now to start saving EVERY penny, that car will be amazing.

My brother is going to be SO jealous of me!

HA! When I need a Scooter when I'm 80 I'm so going to have a Turbocharged one... Trade in the 120 Volts for 120 Horsepower. I'll be the first to Bingo EVERY TIME!

Regardless of how cool or fast it may be it'll still suck in the snow.

I'll stick to my Audi. :c-tard:

[ty_guy]

finally something from Ford worth driving and actually looks pretty good. i'm still not a big fan of what they have done to the front end (body wise). that car better live up to the name of the Shelby GT 500 and not just be another "upgraded" one. this month's Road and Track mag does a cover story on the 05 Mustangs. Apparently the GT-R concept was put together by Ford and Saleen, now that'd be sweet to see.

[impure]

he speaks the truth.^^ EDIT meant for mapleaf

not nearly as nice as some of the new imports that are coming over now.

such as my personal favorite the G55 AMG

a base 2004 svt cobra coupe went for $35K USD.
this one w/ a shelby name plate, i am guessing low to mid-$40K USD base.

--

ok, just read the current issue of road & track
apparently that shelby cobra gt500 is $147K USD.

[dapimpstress]

i have already seen those drivin around downtown.... in fact, i saw a white one, on the way to work, last week.

[lou_belle]

I think that the new mustang is the ugliest piece of shit on the road...for that matter...they've been pretty tacky and chunky for years now..

If I ever drive that toy laugh at me really hard.

It's got power, but no style..I don't like the way they took the old and blended it with the new without paying attention to detail. They should have a few sharper lines on it if they're going for the oldschool look. It looks like a boat.

[matéo]

hrrrm most car enthusiasts would argue that. I like the look of the car's rear end... Kinda how I like my ladys: Big, Ugly, and Mean. WOOMP!

[mapleleaf4ever]

I agree with lou_belle... I like the 79-88 4 Eyed Mustangs. Kinda biased as I own one, but they look meaner imo. Then they got fugly as shit after that... not until 2000 - 2004 did I find the body style appealing. Of course the good ol' 64 1/2 still is a beaut...

[Goat]

Regardless of how cool or fast it may be it'll still suck in the snow.

Anyone driving a new mustang in the dead of winter should have his shit packed with a sharp fence post.

I like the 79-88 4 Eyed Mustangs.

I'm partial to the early seventies, but you're right about the 90's. and new 2000's. barring the 05, it being an ugly peice of shit.

You've just seen the '05s - this is a Shelby we're talking about, doesn't come out 'til '06 and will be faaaaaaaabulous.

$134k? You've gotta be kidding.
I suppose I'll just stick to the GT then, haha! :P

i am confused. maybe i read wrong in road & track.
here http://www.theautochannel.com/F/news...24/020155.html
it says around $40K USD which kinda make sense.
