I'm thinking no one. I love mine just as much now as ever. I still get stares and people asking questions from time to time.

Anytime I feel like it's losing that wow factor all I have to do is start the engine

If you're getting tired of the looks (impossible) but if you are...stand in front of the car...take about 6 steps back and look at the way it hovers...it really does hover. Not a car on the road with a stance like the 05.

If you're in the car for the wow factor, you should sell your car.

Should I mention that I'm one of the max. 10 owners of 2005/6 Mustangs in the whole country? Talk about the "wow factor"!

Now in its 2nd year, I'm sure its lost its 'wow' especially around area's that are flooded with them.

Its nice to see though that the want for this car is still around, and I'm sure you'll still get stares into next year....this car appeals to more people than any other previous 98-04 mustang, so yeah...I'm sure it'll last longer.

not alot of GT's in the area (a few sixers, though), so the "wow" factor is still in effect for me. I get looks daily...of course it helps that it's black w/chrome rims...

not that I really care about that or anything....

I have had mine for 7 months now and I still enjoy driving it and actually just looking at it. I also notice other 05/06 mustangs on the road.

I pulled up to Subway the other day and the 16 year old kid at the counter went on for about 5 mins about how much he liked my car and how he saw the Foose Stallion and liked it too and couldn't wait to see the new Shelby when it comes out.

I was a proud papa, although I'd rather get those comments from a mid 20 year old lady who would like to go for a ride

I still love driving my mustang. I haven't lost my "wow" factor yet. I bought it almost a year ago (Dec. 2004). I still have people looking and asking questions. In my area there are not alot of V-8's running around, but there are alot of V-6's.

I would say that the thrill of driving it is still there, but I am now familiar with the car and it has become routine as opposed to the first day where everything is new and you're trying to get used to it

I brought the car to the Mandarin Oriental in Miami. The valet deal with Ferraris, Aston Martons, and Lamborghinis on a daily basis. They went nuts when they saw my black 05! Everytime I got out I had 3 or 4 questions or compliments about the car. The last day there I opened the hood...had 4 or 5 employees surrounding the car looking at that engine. Some other guy came out yelling is that the Foose!? People love it!

I think my car will have a "wow" factor in 5 years when they come out with the new design. A day doesn't go by, even after having it for a year, that I don't get at least a few thumbs up, stares, etc...
