I love group shots. Credit goes to skife from www.xsorbit3.com








KFC looks like the official fast food of the 05 stang test drivers.

Did y'all know that KFC is the #2 restaurant in the WORLD? It's second only to McDonalds. Just a bit of useless information that I read about at work the other night.

I like how only one of the 'stangs is parked backwards. I guess that guy doesn't like conformity.

The perfect picture to decide. To spoiler, or not to spoiler!

It looks good on the V6, in my opinion... was thinking about getting that upgrade.

It does actually make the V6 sportier. I've never been a big fan of spoilers, but I'd prefer it on the V6.

Looks way better without the wing.Retro styleing and then they ruin it with a ugly wingding thing.Also no wing means less weight,and thats a good thing!

note to self: no canadain option to delete wing..buy car from across border in washington state...

wingless and happy :-)

I think WITH wing is better on the 2005 design. the rear is so smooooooth versus the 99+ generation that it lacks "oomph" without something extra there. The 99+ generation had such beautifully sculpted curves and edges it did NOT need a wing, but I kept mine since it came with one. This pic makes me happy I chose Performance White - always classy!

I think my '00 looks rubbish without a spoiler, especially with the roof down......I will get one soon! it is just getting it here that is the problem!

I must say that I agree that the back end of the '05 lacks something without the spoiler.

I think the 05 is the first one in awhile that would work well without. I personally like the rear spoilers except for it's just something else to wash and wax.

OH, on another note. I just read on cnn.com that Pam Anderson is calling for a boycott of KFC. I guess that doesn't apply to Mustang owners.

Someone posted the same link to these photos on Stang Net. He said a friend of his took the photos were outside of Grand Rapids MI. The person supposedly spoke to a couple of the drivers who told them they were on a 500 mile test drive. The drivers would not pop the hood for him.

Probably some secret code that needs investigated further.
