RIP 05 GT.....
3 weeks a go it froze down here in Jacksonville Florida. Long story short a palm tree atacked my car, and TOD it. At 45 mph the impact of a skiny palm tree in the center of the engine cut the car like a hot knife and butter. PS I walked away no injory thank God. That car is built though. I got an 08 GT now, and I changed the way I look at the car, I no longer see it as a street power machine insted I see it as a transportation machine from point a to point b. After spending about 4000$+ in mods from wheels to strips on the it. I feel robed . so this one is staying stock. Is the 08 slower then the Stock 05? it feals that way to me .. weird.

I'm a little confused how you hit a palm tree or how a palm tree hit you rather.
The lack of an intake and tune is going to make the new car feel slow. Did you not get the 05 stock and put an intake and tune on yourself?
