RE: '05 GT
In my opinion I kinda like the rims they are a little blocky but nice. The body however looks a little like an RUF. A v6 porche style boxer that is fast but is not somthing an american muscle should look like. The RGT may do 0-60 in a little over 4 seconds but comon.

When the new body style came out in '94, everyone was making the same type of coments and most fpx body mustang owneres hated it..... "ugly, doesn't look like american muscle anymore, looks to much like an import, doesn't look as agresive...yadi yada..."
Now here is the next generation. Just think what it'll look like now if Ford decided to go on with their plan of coming out with the new body style Mustang for 1987. Some of you might be to young to know or remember that Ford was changing the body style and platform for the Mustang and was going to be replaced by the Probe. There was thousands of letters sent to Ford by Mustang owners basically saying if you do it, we won't buy it. Ford changed their mind and renamed the car the Probe and continued with the Fox body Mustang with the aero package and the rest is history. We still can enjoy our beloved Pony.

Most of you guys don't get it. It is retro. My dad has a 67 fastback and 05 lines flow so much like the 60s Mustangs. It is definitely one of the best retro designs ever to come out. If the money is right I will try to get one next year.

I do like the front but not the hood..maybe a shaker or something......ford needs to get a better design for the wheel and quit making us speend 1k to look nice.. it bad enough with the hard to hop up engine and flimsie as shifter to deal with

RE: '05 GT
I was at that Chicago auto ahow last February. I really like the 05s. I've never been a huge fan of newer cars styling, but the 05 has caught my eye. I I wasn't poor, I'd buy one for a daily driver and keep modding my 86. But I'm not...
Rims and tires can completely make or break a car, I agree. My 93 Bronco looks bad *** when I have my deep dish rims and big mudding tires, but looks like a little puke now with my winter tires and stock fake rivet aluminum wheels on it. I've seen the 05 with the bullits, and THAT's the rim that belong on it. I think it was that thread where the 05 broke into th 12s and gave a link to the site and on that site it said that the Bullits are put on the base GT models.
Cheers.

RE: '05 GT
yeah same complaining every body change. I would complain too if I bought a 04 and the " New Kid " comes to town and most of the general public is drooling over it. Kinda makes you green, you know!
There hasnt been a single day that someone hasnt commented on my car or how nice it was, And ive had it for a few months now!
