Don't count on the Mustang being early. The '05 Ford Trucks are mostly carry over from the new '04 line, just made as an '05 model.
I bet the '05 Mustang will sell fast, but I don't plan to get an '05, waiting for an '06 or '07 SVT Mustang, or a special edition with more POWER than the 300hp 3V 4.6L Mod engine.
The 4.6L 3V 300hp Mustang engine will only get about 245-255hp to the rear wheels. The last Mustang I had was a 1984 GT 5.0L converted to Fuel Injection, and with all the normal mods I was getting 317hp to the rear wheels. I NEED the new Mustang to be at least as powerful as my last Mustang project with minimal additional investment since the 4.6L engines cannot be as easily modded as the older 5.0L V8 engine.

A certain while ago a magazine was quoted in saying it hit up to 285-290 RWHP.
Sounds a little underated to me.
Also lets wait till the production cars come out, they will have the final tunes etc.
But with the current trend...expect the V6 and GT to be underated tad.

They do ride quite a bit better, the car more naturally "unsteers' itself as well when turning. The V8 3v with teh 5 speed feels MUCH better then it did in the old 5.4 truck. Both the diesels we had were sold already, but I did squeak one out for a spin. Very nice. The new wheels rock.'
On a strange note, the 6 or 7 we got in initially all came with blank winow stickers, they were produced before prices were finalized.

The 3v should take to breathing mods very well.
