Default What would YOU do?

My brother just went out and test drove an '03 GT and was really impressed. Back in the day he owned a modded '91 LX 5.0 (C4, 3.73s, some suspension and minor engine mods) that actually got me started in Mustangs. Then he got tired of fixing all the crap the previous owner had screwed up and sold it for a (*shudder*) Talon. After a few years that crapped out and he bought an newer Impala (which to this day I still think was all his then girlfriend/now wife's idea). But anyhow he's looking to buy a new one and trade in the Impala but doesn't know if he wants an '03 or wait until the new body style comes out in '05. What would you guys do?

I'd wait for the 05 Stang..Possible 3 Vavle heads, better performance, and the styling I think is nice.
