Great time for Mustangs
A 300 horse GT. A 500 horse Ford GT(-40) that's blowing everything under the sun away. Carroll Shelby is back with Ford, which means one of three things are likely to appear, if not all three. A GT-350, GT-500, or the legendary Cobra. Not the SVT version. A 'Vette stomping version of the AC Cobra.
With all this, it makes my heart pound in my chest. Little beads of sweat cover my forehead, and my hands are like the San Andreas Fault. Ford has just looked at the automotive world and said, "WHAT NOW, BEOTCH?" I'm loving it. All my Chevy friends are talking about how great the Camaro and Firechicken were, and how GM is going to bring them back. All I have to say is, "I certainly hope so." I'd love for another horsepower war of the '60s and early '70s. With the technology we have now, someone's going to get their feelings hurt. And I don't think it's going to be Ford. Later. |

Yeah, man, just look at all the stuff coming out and it seems that Ford is taking that extra step. Great. We even have SLP making aftermarket parts for the stangs. I'm gonna love to see how the next 3-5 years go. Only thing, when Chevy hits back, I feel they shall hit back hard.

I hope chevy gets back in the game. I'm tired of the 4bangers pulling up next to us @ lights thinking we owe them a run.
Please bro, you aint worth it. |

The O5 is beautiful! If there was any mustang year I would want to start making payments on again it would be the 05.

i remember in 99 when ford changed the design. i didn't like it at all. then a year later i seen a few running around. 3 years later i bought one and i love the look. pictures don't do the car justice. i want to see one in person and drive it. to be honest, the more i look at the more i like it.

Yeah FORD is definantly doing some great things with the stangs and other FORD products with a high performance edge to them. The GT40 is so hot its not funny.. To bad its 1 hundred grand... The 05 is Awesome as well. To bad its still gonna be to high... I dont even want to imagine what kinda price that new SHelby Car would have even if they decide to produce it on a limited run.. FOrd is kickin *** now... Thats no doubt, to bad there so over priced.
**SORRY Just a rant** I have always and always will give my loyalty to FORD. Just wish they could come off the prices a little Brad
