About 20% less money than a 2005 GT. I think the 05GT is pretty understated looking, with an interior that originally looked basically carried over from the 99+ cars, and a dash that seems form before function. The 05 GT has little versatility, and lacks the personality that I want from a ponycar.

For everything that makes a Mustang a Mustang, I feel the 87-93 years kick the 05s hinder all over the yard.

I won't argue with an opion, nor get into the math, but look at all the things that are now standard on the '05. I am telling you, these cars are about the same price.

99 GT > all (especially ricers)

82 GT · 01-14-2005, 03:19 PM

What makes the '99 so great? How is a '99 any different then the 00-04 mustangs that are the exact same platform?

i think you missed the joke there bud. (note signature, thus my being biased,thus the joke)

82 GT · 01-14-2005, 10:30 PM

Ahhh...I see now.
I still say it's the '82GT

Fat0eknee · 01-15-2005, 01:58 PM

wow ok so looks to me that the majority of people like the 67-68's for looks and 87-93's for performance ... i must have the best damn car ever made since i have a 68 with an 93 efi motor

..just jokin - i really do like the 05's though

NeedleBender · 01-16-2005, 02:15 PM

yeah my dad has an 05 GT. they are really beatiful. there's nothing greater than hearing that 300 hp 5 speed turn over. brings a tear to my eye. or maybe its the smoke left hanging in the air when my dad takes off down the road in it. lol

Glad to hear you have a "lead foot dad". I kinda wish my two boys/men were more interested in cars. They do extremely well in other areas (sports, financial, etc.), but really have not much interest in fast cars. Maybe my grandchildren will.

im sorry to hear that rev. i see that you are in Houston, im only about an hour and fifteen minutes from you. when i drive it's only about 45 minutes though. do you attend any cruises in the area? for instance, have you heard of Cruisin' Silsbee? Its a huge deal for the area but i dont know if people from more distant areas have heard of it. we have cars from all over the country come in though. you should come one year. then you could watch me beat the pants off of every other car on the show grounds and on the track. lol (BTW Im also the youngest racer there, you know, just to add insult to injury)

girliemustangchic · 03-09-2005, 03:18 PM

I have to say I loved my 88 5.0 GT hatchback! It was the best! I wish I never got rid of it.

450hp · 03-10-2005, 11:41 AM

I love the 93 Cobra, but the 03-04 takes the cake in my opion... and I have a 98 Cobra aint that a bi#$h!!! lol

ultraflo · 03-10-2005, 06:06 PM

In my mind, the 03/04 Cobra is the best all-around Mustang to date. I can only imagine what SVT will do with the new/improved S197 platform... although I'm not too keen to the 'throttle-by-wire' setup that Ford is using.

Sure, I'm quite fond of the 87-93 Foxes... but I wouldn't label them as the best mustangs ever. Easy to work on, that's for sure ...but not the best.

I have a 05 and also just finished resto an a 71 351 ram air mach1 the 71 is a great car with lots of brute power and handles well but the 05 is refined power, it does not feel as fast as the 71 or sound as fast but it will chew up and spit out the 71 it is fast fun and gets 25 mpg on the road and carves corners like a go cart
