Our's is a used RENTAL car, purchased through the local FORD dealer. It really runs good and we get as high as 27 MPG. I have only added a GT take off single muffler and a K&N air filter. We traded a 99 MUSTANG convertible for the 05 and the 05 runs rings around the 99. Buddy of mine is a mechanic and says that rental cars get more maintenance and attention then most private owner cars.

NO, we don't have daytime running lights or an engine block heater or other such doodads. The car had about 10,000 miles on it and was immaculate, with leather seats and automatic door locks and the black interior trim (which I love), compared to the interior with all the aluminum trim. They offered us the extended warranty, which I normally don't purchase, we bought it in the event of an unknown problem with the car. So far, the car has been PERFECT !!!! Someday, I hope to replace the wheels with 18 inch somethings.

Does the K&N Air Filter make a noticeable difference ? If so, I may get one.

Dont hate on the Auto's, ya they are a bit slow but when you mods and its a stock car of course your gonna have a faster car. An auto with the same mods could stay close to a stick.

yea the autos are dangerous especially with a sct tune. its hard to out shift them. I beat a friend with stick, stock. I have an auto with an AEM brute force intake and a pypes axle back. his front bumper was just passed my rear. Everyone thought he'd win cuz he is an accurate shifter, they were wrong. But what i do is shift to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the auto w/ overdrive off, then into drive for 4th, then overdrive on for 5th. You'd be surprised how quick u can move if u shift it at perfect timing, i happened to get it down perfect.
