Default Re: The Best Mustang Ever

The 05 is being called the best ever because it finally drives like a 25k car should, has 300hp, and is fast in a straight line. Thanks to the 3 link panhard bar susp, it handles well too.

I've driven one, and drove my 97 GT right after and can tell you they are two totally different cars.

Yes, the Fox body cars can be faster and are lighter, etc. But stock for stock, as a DD, the 2005 GT is the best Mustang they've ever made.

I love my solid axle and the fox susp, because it feels mean. But those days are over, since most people want liveable cars. That's what killed the F-bodies. They were too hard to drive everyday. I for one am glad the car can still get it done, and that it will be useable enough that "regular" (read not us) people will like it too.
