After reading JessicaRabbits' envy thread, it occured to me that even though the '05 Mustang has a "lot life" of under 48 hours on every dealer here in the Metroplex, I have yet to actually see one on the road.

How often do others see them on the road currently?

I'm still waiting for my around-town sighting. So far I've only seen 3 at dealerships and one car carrier carrying 4 on the freeway.

I've seen one V6 (redfire) and 2 GT's one was white and the other was sonic blue. but, everytime i saw one i was turning off so i didn't get real close to it. they do stand out on the road.

I've only seen the Mustang at the dealership and the Ford Innovation Drive. I have not seen one on the road yet. And believe me, I've been looking!

Interesting thread, I was going to start this myself.


I have seen one Torch Red V6 along with my Torch GT. I honked and waved but he didn't see me


So only one...

Down here in South Florida, I have seen six on the road - ALL V-6s. (Seen two GTs but in dealerships)

Saw at least two of the V-6s in my daily drive home where I take this long toll road that is way out west near the everglades (Sawgrass Expressway) - both cars going the other way so I only got a glimpse.

Just this past weekend, I went down to Key West with some buddies - saw a torch red on the way down (going the OTHER way of course), and a black one on the way back from the trip. While IN Key West, I saw TWO driving right there on Duval Street (the 'main' strip there for those who don't know, with all the popular bars...). A WHITE one drove right by me just a few feet away our first day, and then saw a silver one twice over the next two days. Of course, I NEVER had my darn camera ready but just before we left, I spotted the silver one from behind at a stoplight and ran out to the road to grab a pic. (corner of Duval and Truman)

I still have only seen mine.. I kinda like to see another one on the road just to see how they look. But on the other hand I love the attention so no complants here.

I have not seen one around Pittsburgh. I know of at least one other member in my area that owns one, but have not seen them either.

I am on the road during the day in L.A. and havn't seen one yet except at dealerships. Have had a lot of other mustangs follow me around though since I received mine. Seems like every time I look in the rearview, there's a different mustang following!

I have only seen mine...I was so worried I would see one before I saw mine but now I'm wondering when I'll see another one. I know Bookman lives about 5 miles from me...I still haven't seen him driving around!

I am in Arizona, in the Phoenix area, and I have only seen one on the road besides mine. For the longest time, I wondered when I would see one on the road. Turns out, mine was the first I saw. Then, just this weekend, going the opposite way of the 101 about Warner Rd., was a Redfire V6. It was cool to finally see another. Now, I just wasnt to see an actual GT on the road. Maybe soon? Later.

I've seen one Mineral Grey V-6, but I see a Torch Red V-6 everyday. Someone in my apartment complex bought one. Hate that color.

Why is it so difficult for Ford to make a good looking red?

Just one stupid yellow one that didnt belong to me yesterday...

And of course my evil children come running inside Sunday- MAMA! You won't believe it, a SILVER 2005 Mustang just drove by(also not mine). Someone in my neighborhood. Blast them!

I am preferable to turning a blind eye. Hurts too much cause they are not mine!!

I have not seen any on the road here in Cincinnati, just at dealerships and the Innovation Drive. A buddy said he saw one, and my mom "claims" she saw one on the road in Indianapolis.
