Yes the 05 is on the issue....
...but its not what you think.

Its a "future cars" issue.


So looks like it'll be next month boys/gals.
October 1 embargo stands.



However there is a Ford GT VS Enzo VS Carrera GT highspeed shootout!

I didn't have a chance to read all the stuff....but I do remember the 1/4 mile numbers.

Enzo -> 11.0
Carrera GT -> 11.1
Ford GT -> 11.2

I need my copy to come in so I can read it....(this was just a newstand copy)

I wonder if the November issue will be a 'Ford' issue with '05 Mustang, 500, and Freestyle tests? :scratch:

Ford won't let any publications publish info on the '05 until Oct. 1.

The media agrees not to publish any driving impressions before October 1st

in the issue, they maybe have a 10 sentence blurb that the Mustang is all-new for 2005

What would happen if they broke the embargo? Withhold driving tests in the future? I say we get Drudge on the case!

I would imagine they have to sign a non-disclosure agreement prior to receiving a pre-production car to test.

Explanation:

-MT hasn't come in yet at home.
-I was on lunch and checked the variety store here...
-they had it, searched the mag, before the store owner yelled "This is NOT a reading library, buy or get out white boy"
-hence why not a lot of info

Agreed

Buy a GT. Lose only 2 tenths. Put the half mil that you save down on a house, or a fleet of mustangs

You know, for the budget conscious types
