MYCOLOUR is setup in the info center
I wonder if the Ford marketing stuff in Canada says mycolour instead of mycolor. They better translate that stuff into Canadian English, eh? I wonder what the sticker will say? Will the info center display say "mycolour"?

Dustin, to clarify for burningman, the early pictures of the production Mustang has the opening on the front of the car with body colored thin bars. Lately, the picture we've seen has that area blacked out, painted black, to seem more of a gap, rather than the body. Is this sticking through production, or will the car on the lots have the body colored bars?
Roger, I'll ask that one for sure.

I would imagine that the buttons control different parts of the R G B LED set up, 120 different color configs, i can imagine seeing on the Message Center Red: 15, flashing, and pressing a button will change it to 16, like setting your VCR or something Steveo explain if you've seen it, and dang you for withholding info :nono:
I'm guessing you're right. Sorry for withholding info...I didn't get to see it really well, since they closed the door on us (some old fart got to watch everything from the driver's seat). I haven't seen them use the other colors...only the presets. I did see the message center say "PURPLE" and "RED" in it though...

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

American made cars, let the Canucks read COLOR, like it SHOULD be! USA! USA! USA!

Kidding guys.

But you know it'll say Color, not Colour, dont ya

Ooh! Dustin, ask bout license brackets for the GT, or if there will be screw holes (shudder) in the bumper on the production, how will states that require it be accomidated? (god i misspelled that one)

When will the 18" wheel option become available?

What about if/when the optional suspension on the GT will be available?

Except that one of those grills is a GT and the other is a V6, so that's a moot comparison. Never thought I'd have to correct a fellow "Thread Police" Officer.

I hope this isn't a Special Edition question:

What percentage of Mustangs will have the racing stripes? Or is this a dealer option?

I love the silver and white striped GT.

Could the person explain the anti-theft security system in more detail. I also hear the key has to match a certain frequency or code?

Congratulations. You're the 5564th person to ask about stripes and the silver GT at the show. There is a FAQ in the Important Topics Section that will really help you to catch up with what we know here. None the less,stripes will NOT be an option. I doubt even dealers would put them on. The car at the show is Titanium silver. A shade of silver that will NOT be produced. The stripe is NOT white, but in fact a lighter shade of silver, my guess is Satin Silver, the colour that WILL be produced.

I hope that helps, I know nothing about the security system question. Welcome to the boards, BTW.

I'll be seeing the 05 Stang Wednesday. Everyone list questions for me to ask and I'll do my best. I want GOOD QUESTIONS, not the typical crap about special editions, when will the cobra be out, etc etc etc that has already been debated a thousand times already.

My #1 question will be about the wheels. Specifically what the bolt pattern is so I can shop for aftermarkets now. It's up in the air now whether we can use our old stang wheels or not.

Remember, only questions specific to the 05 V6 and GT
Along the lines of the wheels and the bolt pattern, how about the offset? I have a set of 17x10.5 wheels on my current SN95, and would like to be able to put the same size wheel on the '05. Thanks.

I saved this from a post a while back, but I can't find the post to link to it.

SecuriLockâ„¢ Passive Anti-Theft System
Passive anti-theft systems like SecuriLock protect against drive-away theft through the use of an electronically coded ignition key. The vehicle starts and operates only if the electronic code in the ignition key matches the one programmed into the vehicle, thwarting attempts to hot-wire the ignition. A miniature transponder with an integrated circuit and antenna is imbedded in the ignition key. A wireless radio-frequency transmission transfers an electronic code between the transponder in the key and the vehicle. If the codes match, a signal passes through the wiring system to the electronic engine control, allowing the vehicle to start.

Keeping Mustang Where It Belongs

Mustang has an optional, active anti-theft package aimed at combating high performance-car insurance premiums. The package includes:

Separate Alarm Sounder
Car thieves often begin by disabling the vehicle’s horn to disarm the alarm system. So Mustang employs a separate, remotely located alarm sounder that makes it harder for thieves to disable the system and make off with the car or its contents.

Anti-Tow Sensor
To guard against the growing criminal trend of tow-away theft, an inclination-sensing module records the vehicle’s angle of inclination when the anti-theft system is armed. If the sensor detects a change in vehicle inclination, it sends a signal to the alarm system, which triggers a separate alarm sounder and flashes the car's lights to guard against tow-away thefts. This sensor also can detect whether one corner or side of the vehicle has been jacked up, to guard against theft of wheels and tires.

Ultrasonic Interior Motion Sensor
To detect "smash-and-grab" break-ins, an ultrasonic interior-motion sensor determines if glass has been broken or someone has placed a hand or other object inside the car. If an intrusion is detected, the alarm sounder is activated and the exterior lights flash to frighten would-be thieves.

Perimeter Anti-Theft Protection
Perimeter anti-theft sensors also detect the opening of the hood, doors or trunk when the anti-theft system is armed. If the vehicle is parked and the window rolled down, for example, the alarm is sounded if a would-be-thief tries to open the door to gain access to the car.

High-Capacity Battery
A 60-ampere-hour battery is capable of sounding the alarm longer. This more powerful battery lends an extra measure of authority to the active anti-theft system and helps prevent battery run-down from use of Mustang's powerful audio system while the engine is off.

What is the difference between the "Leather Bucket" Seats and the "Leather Sport Bucket" Seats? If someone has a picture to illustrate, that would be great!

On the V6 model, can you get the spoiler *without* the sport tape on the Exterior Appearance Package.

Any news (rumors) about availability of an SST version for the 5 speed 5R55S automatic?

Thanks,

Any chance we'll see any option for Le Mans stripes on the GT in the 2006 model year?
