Wednesday night I stopped by Marriot hotel here in Tulsa, that’s hosting the Mid America Ford Performance and Shelby Meet. I was hoping that Ford had started to setup their cars…The only car they had setup so far for display was a windveil blue GT auto.
There was a woman talking with the Ford rep, who seemed to know the guy and he opened the car up for her. Of course after she got out of the GT, I had ask if I could check it out…The seats aren’t quite as comfortable as I’d hoped, still way better’n what I got in my six cylinder. I’m about six feet tall and this car has so much room inside, you could almost throw a party in there.
The lighting at night in the hotel lobby is pretty sad but here are a couple of shots. Hopefully I’ll get some better pics this weekend.

They wouldn't let anyone in the Mustang when I saw it in Albany, but the Bronco was off to the side and there weren't any ropes around it so I got in that, which was a very comfortable car.

I've sat in one too, both driver's and front passenger's seats.
It's not perfect, but the seats and the inside are [b]wonderfuly comfortable[b] compared to my 2001 GT (6'2", 210 lb.)
You're right about it feeling roomy compared to the 99-04. The EPA interior volume of the 2005 is 96 cu ft verses 83 cu ft for the 99-04. That's a 15% increase, which is rather significant.

The Mach 1 Registry and IMBOC (Bullitt club) were fortunate to meet with the Mustang engineers at the MCA 40th in Nashville. I spent time shifting and making engine noises in this development car.
On the recent Cincinnati tour, I got some more seat time but no photos. In this instance, I spent time drooling on my shirt.
