I love my car, and there's no way I'd trade it in for a 2010 model.

While it sucks for early adopters it's good for Ford economically since it adds a bit of demand to an already available style.

They did the same thing with the SN95. The 5.0 was in the initial '94-'95 until they switched over to the 4.6 with the '96 model year.

I agree with you on the 2010, that's how I feel about the new design as well.
That last statement however is pure blasphemy! please sell your car now and leave the forum.

i have to keep the 08 i wasnt thrilled with the body style in the 2010 it is sharp but ours still i think looks better, and in 40 years our cars will be classics the way we go to car shows and see the classics there, if you take care of it its going to be awesome in years to come, and i cant wait to do more to this car. My first car and mostly gonna stay my baby forever. maybe when i have my job down the road ill get another car but always keep this bad boy.

A crate?
And where did you get that idea?

Now there is no question in my mind

I'm keeping my '07 Pony FOREVER

In 20 years if you want to step back in time and see a mint Pony Package, just look me up on the web and I'll send current photos

As of today.. I think it would be more fun to replace just about everything on this car over time.... Also, the next Mustang I buy will be a GT500 or greater.. no less.
