4th ver 5th Gen Stangs?
What are the advantages/disavantages of the 2005 to 2008 Mustangs compared to 2004 and older?
I was leaning toward a 2002 to 2004 GT, now torn between them and the newer models.
Thanks

I think the quality of the newer models is much better than the older ones. I do think the 4 valve motor is probably a better platform than the 3 valve, but the aftermarket goodies for the new ones probably offset that. I also think the 05-now models may make a better collector item 25 years from now.....but that's a story that's yet to be told.

inside is alot more comfortable in the 05+s. i had a 04 mustang before the 07 mustang and i would never go to a pre 05 mustang again. and if you look the 3vs are better than than the 4v on the N/A 4/6L. look at the bone stock 05 GT compared to a MAch 1 or 01 cobra. the mach 1/cobra are lighter and have more hp but yet are slower. 05+ gt has 300hp and mach 1and cobras are rated at like 320 or something. another thing to consider is that the mach 1 and 01 cobras are tuned on 93 octance and 05 mustangs are using regular 87 octane and still are faster..i know alot will not agree with me but i have talked to alot of master techs that have confirmed this

I don't like any mustang from after 71 till 05. at all so im going to say the 05+ looks better, is faster, and has better build quality. It also has the most comfortable interior Ive ever had in a car. i drove it from California to Wisconsin and my *** didn't hurt once! My personal opinion is that i would rather have a 05+ 4.0 V6 instead of a 04 GT.

well yeah I would have to dissagree....the 03-04 Mach 1's/99' cobras are not slower then the new GT's.......The Mach 1 is rated at 305 HP and can easily pull on a new GT. The new GT's and Mach's are very close stock for stock......the Mach has the weight advantage and slightly more powerfull. It would be a drivers race. I know of alot of Machs that beat new GT's. I love my new GT but you have to give respect where it is due.......plus why the hate on the new edge interiors.......I personally like them and find them comfortable.
