RE: just got my first 05 stang
 

Well, if I could get all this done at once, here is my list:
CAI, UD Pulley, 4.10 gears, TRI-AX shifter, SCT Flash, new wheels & tires then Racing stripes & window tint!


Good luck. Let us know what you do.

something to cosider about brake and wheel selection so that you don't end up losing WHP (rotating mass) 4 larger discs alone can drop 6-8whp so imagine that AND a larger diameter wheel. i'm looking at 18's myself, but they're going to have to be lighter than the stockers, and have the right weight distribution characteristics (ie, not tapering up like the bulletts) for me to consider them.

all my cash now goes into my payment and insurance. lol. i went from 550 a month for a truck and now 750 for the stang. but she is worth every penny! I just have to eat out a lot less now

RE: just got my first 05 stang
 

I bought mine flat out. I pay about 250 a month on insurance but I got extreme full coverage. basicaly if a bird sh!ts on my car it covered. lol. I heard a lot of good thing about the next cobra that is suppose be out next year. I might trade this in and get one of those. what do you think?

RE: just got my first 05 stang

j/k. congrats. not too many mods out for that piece right now. give it til next christmas. then you can get your car a nice bonus. :)

Good News for me..i ordered my 2005 v6 premium mustang on january 10th, 2005..and i recieved a email friday saying the build date was this week :) .and it has all the features to it except the my color feature as i didnt see a need for it and didnt want to delay my order...so i should have it by the end of this month hopefully(February)..and yes i am 22years old and paying for it myself

2005 V6 mustang 5 speed manual trans
premium wheels w/ spinners
shaker 1000 sound system
wing and racing stripes
metallic sonic blue with black leather interior
total cost right around $24,000

RE: just got my first 05 stang
 

wow. 24,000 for the v6. dayum! you better enjoy that b!tch.

RE: just got my first 05 stang
 

oh i shall belive me, 24k wasnt to bad considering it is fully loaded except for my color and i also saved a 1000 bucks since i didnt get teh auto trans..i have a 1995 mustang now that is currently starting to fall apart so it is time to get rid of it...i will probably hang onto it for a month or two at least though.

RE: just got my first 05 stang
 

i would have gotten the 04 GT. could have gotten one fully loaded for way cheaper i'm sure. but i'm not you and you probably like the new body style. so more power to ya. i'm still not a fan of it. i had the choice of ordering an 05 or getting the 04 right then and there. i'm happy with my decision. :)

RE: just got my first 05 stang
 

yes but factor in what the resale value of an 04 will probably be compared to an 2005 in abotu 5 or 6 years..im betting the newer body style, which i do like better than 04...will have a slightly higher resale value than the older body..buit who knows
