Welcome aboard and nice Stang you picked up. Sorry to say, but I wouldnt be able to pass up getting a 3v over a 2v if the price was right and the money didnt matter. I wouldnt be able to stoop as low as getting a 94-98 Stang even if it was a 5spd. I'll take my automatic 01 GT over any 94-98 GT.
+1 I would definitely take a 05+ over a New Edge. They may not look as good but the power/potential can make up for it. No offense but you guys that are saying SN95s are the best, well to each his own I suppose. Those cars are way too bland and to me they look like they're made out of plastic. The exterior looks cheap to me.

Around here I see SN95s everyday. Granted just like most Mustangs/F-Bodies around here they're all V6s but I see a few GTs running around.

rather have your car over the new one also new car just seems plain! NEW SHELBY GT THATS A DIFFERENT STORY than my choice would be a money reason.
+1

However, the new ones are starting to grow on me as well. Particularly whith the addition of the hood scoop on the '07's

the newedge from what i have seen/haerd, are still concidered sn95.

anyways, the newedge/age are nice, because of the motor, so is the 05+.

i like the old sn95 cuz of the curves, round = better imo, air goes around an oval easier than it does a wall, although, all mustangs are brick walls when it comes to aerodynamics.

i would like the 05+ if they werent 400 pounds heavier than the sn95s

I agree the 05 GT covertible I test drove in mineral grey looked like a chrysler sebring convertible ,there was nothing exciting at all about the look of the car . The new GT convertibles looks almost identical to the V6. I also got my 03 GT convertible on looks alone ,the hood scoop and side vents are such a eye catcher!

yeah i took my new edge over a s197. For some reason i think the new edges sound better than the s197. probaly cuz i havent heard any good sounding s197 gts thus far. Around here i hadly ever see a GT of any bodystyle. I see tons of mustangs everyday but they are all v6s. Id say the number of new edge GTs are tied with C5 corvettes

Then again most 96-04 GT's you see on the road are real junk boxes.that is why it took me so long to find one.

05 in many ways - sucks

their interiors are off the hook tho... but to mod them like 99-04 costs alot more & they dont handle as well

the i personally liek 05+ - but the bottom line is that they are WAY over priced
