Drove down to Huntington Beach today and all the Stangs were out. On the freeway I saw a Silver Saleen and a black 05 GT. Once I got off the 55 Freeway I saw a very nice silver Saleen vert. Once I got to Huntington I saw a bright yellow Roush Stage 2 crusing down Main St. Then on the way home I saw another 05 GT this time in silver and a white 05 V6 with the sport package. All and all a very nice day to bring the ponies out

Still haven't spotted an '05 GT. I see at least one 05 v6 every day. Customer had a pretty white one out in the lot today. Very sharp except for the wheels which I didn't care for.
Colors I've seen so far are windveil blue, white, black, refire, and mineral grey. Still can't figure out why I haven't spotted a GT yet. Saw a lime green v6 sitting outside Walker Ford. Hmm.. Still don't know if I'm ever going back there after the way they treated one of out mustang brothers.

No spotting of one either, but I do live in Upstate Ny and its snowing as we speak. All the ponys will come out of their stables in the spring time

I understand New York but I'm here in Central Florida and you can't go 2 miles without seeing a handful of mustangs. Especially on weekends all the really nice ones are out in force.

I lived in Florida for a while and I can imagine. I remember seeing a lot of mustangs in florida. More so than in any other state I have lived. ( Cali, GA,NY)
That would be a great stat to see. How many 2005 mustang owners in each state.

I couldnt count how many I saw yesturday but only a few were 05's. I really like seeing the rare one's though, like the Roush and Saleens. One thing was missing though, I didnt see one classic.

Went to Champlain Centers Mall in Plattsburgh, NY on Saturday and while looking for a place to park my wife yells "THERES A '05 MUSTANG." Of course I am driving and did not see it so around the parking lot I go and sure enough there sits a '05 Black GT. Also an empty parking spot right across for it, so I park and go to check it out. GT prem, black, iup, icap and all the other goodies, the only thing it had wheels that looked different (with snow tires all around). The car had Quebec plates.

This is only the second '05 I have seen in the up-state NY area.

I saw my 1st Gt in Orlando back in October. Check Tropical Ford (on Orange Blossom trail, I think), they had a black and a white come in the week while i was there.

I've only seen one 05 mustang on the road so far and it turned out to be a neighbor down the street. Course it's a v6 and they're much more plentiful.

I'm starting to get tired of my dealer calling me and saying that they have one similar to the one I ordered and would I like that one instead. I've been waiting 3 months, I can wait another month or two. Besides, it will be spring then anyways.......though I wouldn't mind having it now though. Sorry for being long winded.

I doubt I will ever see a Saleen/Roush/Steeda around my area unless they are fake. We'ze poor people around these parts

Mine is still the only GT so every now and then I just pull over to the side of the road and look at my car to see what everyone else is looking at

I've spotted several V6's, including white and screaming yellow.

I get to see a GT all the time; a neighbor has a windveil blue with automtic and IUP he bought for his wife.

You sure all those V6s are rentals? I know Don Ried Ford and Greenway have quite a few V6s on the lot and seem to be moving them off at a pretty good rate. Seen two GTs on the road on the north side of Orlando... and one new one sitting on a used car lot in Maitland.

Hey! That person that got treated bad was me! Still haven't been back, not even for the free oil changes. Just don't want them touching it. I take it to Brandon Ford instead. Heck, it's only $20 for the oil change and I trust them.

By the way, in the end, I learned that my car was used in a parade for those extra 60 or so miles........................jerks. They still deny that, but someone had a pic!

As for seeing GTs........I work at MacDill, and there is one other GT on the base (Torch Red) and about 3 V6s, white, MG, and silver.

I do see another MG GT regularly here in Brandon though. Plus there are about 14 of them at Brandon Ford. They put custom wheel packages on all of them and jacked the prices up though....... :nono:

They should of asked YOU to drive the car in the parade. They could of used you as 1 of the many happy customers that buy at their dealership. Sounds like a good promotion to me. Instead of thinking they pssst off the customer who just spent $27000 and pssoff many more by hearing the story. Best advertising WORD OF MOUTH!!!!
If that was done to me , I would send them a bill for renting the car for the day.
