I was also upset by the lack of output from Ford in regards to info on the new 'stang. I now realise the following:-
a. When the 05's come on sale, I will be buying one regardless.
b. If I found out everything I wanted to know from Ford, I might have never found this site.
c. Finding some new info when I check the site makes the day a little better.
c. Even this too shall soon pass, soon we will see the 05's on a daily basis on our streets
(riced out versions and all :nono: ).
so maybe this lack of info is not such a bad thing, what do you think.

Really good point.
Doesn't apply as much to me, as here in Northern Greenland - there are no dealers of any type to consult - all of my info comes from a couple of websites. Each time I see a new vid or pics - I just get that much more antsy for my Dec return to the states.
- just FYI - no roads from town to town in ANY part of Greenland. Nearest town to me is 74 miles - only reachable by helicopter or dogsled. Uggghhh.

I agree with 2Slack. This lack of information is what is driving the excitement! Why would we sit for hours pouring over these threads if everything was available at the dealership? With only our imaginations and tiny bits and rumors to deal with, we have created more Mustang-mania ourselves than Ford could create. The photoshop thread is just outstanding, guys! I went through all 86 pages! Ford'll put out an advertising blitz when the cars are available, but the anticipation we're experiencing will make the delivery worthwhile. (kinda like foreplay)
I just bought an '04 V6 (screaming yellow, pony pkg, rocker stripes, alloys, spoiler, mp3) for my daughter. She won a full ride scholarship to college, and the car was part of the reward from me. The dealer was great, and said that the phone rang off the hook with questions about the '05. He said that the dealership knew nothing! When I mentioned that Ford was hyping the car by its silence, the salesguy just grinned ear to ear! They know what they're doing.

In other words, its great during the build up/hype, but when it comes time to buy, I'd kinda like to know everything about my purchase.

As a salesperson, this is also very frustrating for us. I pride myself in either knowing the answer or at least knowing where to find the answer. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I have to rely on sources such as this site to get my info as well.
I will try to pass info along as I get it, but it seems we are usually last to know

I understand your point, Dan. I am a newcomer to the party, so the waiting and anticipation have not yet become so irritating for me. I was unaware of the new 'stang until a few months ago, and have only decided to purchase one recently. I didn't realize how long some of you have been waiting. I seem to be making up for lost time, however, as I can seem to think of little else. I don't know if this forum is feeding my obsession or creating it, but I'm hooked bad!

True, also, me not knowing all info on 05 led me to look into the 04 more and to see how cool it is.
