Why automatic?
I've had about 9 cars with manual trans....thought it was time to try an automatic....i have no complaints...the auto is really responsive. [/b][/quote]
Good luck with automatic on those Michigan winters.

Car looks great, congrats, and good luck with it.

All I can say is OMG !!!...this car blows away my expectations , it may only be a V6 but one press on the gas and it really does put you back into your seat, something that my 1999 V6 never did. The Mycolor option is pretty cool, I think my favorite is blue. The shaker 500 sound system is awesome, when the bass hits you can feel the air hit your legs...I was pretty impressed !!....The interior noise is so different than my 1999 V6, you can bearly hear any exterior wind noise, it surprisingly very quite....on a scale of 1 to 10...I would give it a 9.5....ford did an amazing job with this car !!!!
Why did you not get the sport appearance package?

Im going to get a shebly package (rally stripes and side stripes) painted on in the spring...as far as a spoiler I am waiting to see if they come out with a ducktail for aftermarket.....if the appearance package stripe came in red I would have got the appearance package. But the shelby stripes will look good I think.

beautiful looking ride travste:

can i ask a favour and have you post a pic of the guages from head on.

also i would love to have a more indeapth review of the V6,what its like in rain,how it handles potholes etc etc also as it doesnt have rear swaybar i was wondering what fast cornering was like?

ps: looks great without the wing.

Looks awesome - just what I am getting, but with the manual tranny. Do you have the ABS/Traction control on yours?
nope, I have never had that option on any mustang that I have owned...so I couldnt see paying $800 dollars for it. [/b][/quote]
I can't afford the ABS/Traction option. Have you had any trouble without it during winter driving?

Yeah me either. Although I have it on my current car I don't notice that it changes the driving any. Do when I ordered my 05 I decided I could live w/out the TC & ABS. Anywhoo. Back on topic.

Congrats on the car it looks like a real sweet ride. I can't wait to get mine. And I like that you compared it to the 99. I have an 03 so now I know alittle bit of what to expect.

My question to the lucky dogs who are coming from previous years stangs to already have their 05 is this: how difficult is it remember that the gas cap is on the left side & not the right? I have diven a 96, 02, 03 & they were all on the right so that's what I am used to. So I was jsut wondeing how weird is it put gas in the left?

Cheers mates And again congrats on the sweet ride.
