By the way, I don't know if this is accurate. Don't take this as fact but I found a base price at this link:

i dunno if any of this information is available yet...and as far as i know, none of the major sources have done test drives or reviews yet.
may be a close estimite though. i'm sure this forum will be buzzing as soon as the pricing is official. unless i just missed something in the last few days.
*edit:
also...from what i've read from people here at TMS who have sat in the car, say its roomie like crazy. we've seen some pics of some pretty big guys in there with no problems. i'm actually glad the shiffter is up a little...i deffinatly don't want my arm hitting a console or other obstruction.
guess we'll just have to see though.

I disagree with Edmunds on the shifter... When I sat in the 05 it felt like is placed perfectly.

Also, I think Brad posted on another tread about a method to determine price. But the idea was to build an '04 on Ford's website and then add anywhere form 5% to 10% onto that price. The GT loaded is around $30k and the v6 loaded is around $24k.
Those numbers sound pretty accurate too me.

Considering that I am only 5'3", I don't mind the shifter being far forward. The shifter in my 2000 Mustang GT has a problem with hitting the front cupholder. Meaning, if I want to bring home dinner and milkshakes for me AND my husband, I can't do it in my car because the front cup will get totally smushed when I put it into reverse, second, or fourth.
From the interior pictures of the '05, it doesn't seem like this will be a problem with my new car (at least I'm hoping, I haven't actually sat in one yet).

I have a feeling those review quotes are about the current (SN-95) Mustang. I don't think car magazines have test drove the new 05 yet, and cramped interior and too-far-forward shifter certainly apply to the current model.

I guess you might be a grand or so off in either direction, but you shouldn't be sweating $1000 on a $25,000 purchase.

Official pricing will be released sometime this month.
I am sure kevin will be posting the goods within a few minutes of him getting it.

I know what it will basically cost, but having new info is great.

You also needn't worry about the cupholders in the 05 and the shifter, as they sit in the console behind the shifter and slightly below the level of the rest of the console. B)

That problem was actually fixed for the '01 model year, when the Mustang received a center console update. My '02 leaves room between the shifter and forward cupholder.
I've sat in the '05, and you won't have that problem.

Drove an 04 GT premium 5-speed at the dealer yesterday. I noticed that there was very little room for my left foot to rest. I was almost resting on the clutch. What's the space in the 05 like when it comes to foot room?
Thanks
Thanks
