I DELETED HALF OF MY PICS!!!! :bang: I didnt do too many full car photos either, I had closeups of the aluminum with no flash on the dash, a full uber closeup of the headlight assembly and some other stuff. The one I posted with the hindquarter's curves showing was one of the "must get" photos to give it some depth. I had a few others from higher up and more down the side but lost em. We are working on getting one for the dealer to play with anyway. For you non-salesmen, just to rub it in......we WILL have a free for all ride-and-drive in the late summer where we get to tear them up in the parking lot at Fed Ex field :w00t:
Heres a couple more, nothing great though:

Ah. Any news is good news! And any pics are better!! Since I'm one of those people that won't be able to see one in person until they arrive on dealers lots this fall. I appreciate any and all pictures that everyone has had the generosity to post on this website. You all have my heartfelt gratitude.

The current car is a darn torture chamber next to the 05.

The mach 1 seats do make it much more tollerable(they are the same cut as the cobra). With the easier T3650 clutch and shifter over the cobra, its actually pleasant pleasant-the bullitt is exactly the same for the same reasons. The subframe connectors and softer springs makes the ride tollerable.
But its not even close to the new car's interior layout. It is very natural feeling, and the gauges are easy to read and sit just right through the wheel. After spending years in them, it only took about 2 minutes to get used to it. I came back to the dealer and sat in the 325ci, its amazingly simillar, only the controls on the mustang are in places that make sense.

The current car is a darn torture chamber next to the 05. Diplomatically, I might add. Especially to the the kid who thinks his modded 97 V6 is better than the 2005. Oh well.

Kev, nice shots! That one with the doors opens really shows the shape of the hood. People think its almost flat! Wrong! It actually has a very nice shape. Gorgeous in person.

In the belive it or not file. I just remembered another converstation that I had with the Ford engineer. I asked him why the 05 Stang didn't have a hidden radio antenna.
If you don't belive it, don't yell at me, because I'm not sure I belive him on this myself. Here is my best recollection of the conversation on the radio antenna:
I've updated my orignal post to add this in.

Why didn't you use a hidden antenna on it?
MW - We couldn't get good enough (radio) reception.
Your kidding me, it wasn't because of the convertible?
MW - No
It wasn't because of cost?
MW - No, we just couldn't get good reception.
Lots of other cars have hidden antennas, you really couldn't get it to work?
MW - I don't know the reason(s) why, but we tried hidden antennas and the AM reception was horrible, customers would not be happy.
You're putting me on. No one listens to AM anymore.
MW - Around Detroit they do. AM is very important for traffic and sports around Detroit. We have to have good AM detection. FM is better with the whip antenna too. FM was OK with the hidden antenna, but it's better with the whip.

Yeah that's about what he said. I was the one who asked him about it.
In addition he said the spot where the antenna is, is where the best reception was.

Dustin, I think that you also asked him about putting the antenna on the rear fender. Do you remember this at all?
