RE: 2005 GT500
whew.. that candy apple red with the white racing stripes is appealing....if i have the money...one day that car will be mine 
....o and to note on your corvette arguments....the corvette in my opinion is a higher class than the mustang... and not even comparable.. the only chevy car that compared wit the mustang was camaro... but it coukd never keep up. thats justy my opinion. The vette is up there with the viper and other super cars i guess u can call them

RE: 2005 GT500
That is most definately a photoshopped picture.That said,it would be a damn good looking car. 
As for the corvette being faster? I agree with 99_gtx.The Corvette is and should be faster when price is factored in.The C6 corvette's base price is a little over $50,000.The 2005 Mustang GT's price is just over $25,000.In other words,you could buy 2 brand new 300hp 2005 Mustang GT's for the price of just one 400hp 2005 C6 Corvette.Or you could buy one new stang and $25,000 worth of upgrades of your choosing.a C6 Corvette is a very nice car in its own right,but is way overpriced when compared to a 2005 Mustang.
edit--If you really think about it.The Ford GT is way overpriced when compared to the C6.You could buy a C6 and still have around $100,000 in upgrades to reach the GT's base price of just under $150,000.
And if you really think about it......
okay,I'll stop now

red w/ white looks good on damned near any sports/muscle car. but, i prefer white w/ black, black w/ silver, or silver w/ blue.....too many combo's possibly that would look sweet. but, yeah, the red/white def looks good.

RE: 2005 GT500
Thx man.Seems like I get a lot of compliments,thumbs up,devil horns,you name it wherever I take her.Its a color combination that isnt common on any car.So maybe thats why it gets all the attention,I dont know,but I can say your right,pictures do no justice.
As for #'s.I wouldnt know,I never dynoed it.Kinda lazy I guess.I havent done much to her yet,4.11 gears,flowmaster exhaust,MSD distributor,MSD 6AL box,battery in trunk,Koni shocks,cross-drilled rotors,Cobra R's, and she was chipped before I got it.I'm still new to this(bought the car a year ago) so I havent done any internal engine mods yet.Just fast enough for me,and too fast for Honda's at the stoplights.
The plan is tax time=twin turbo time.Cant wait!!!
Now,hopefully the wife n kids let me stick with the plan. "I really need these hairdryers on here to keep the engine warm honey"
