His purchase of a V6 allows you to drive your V8. Without the V6, the Mustang would not exist. And, it is actually a very respectable ride as far as base models are concerned. How many sub-$20k cars do you know of that have 210 hp and 240 lb/ft of torque? Not to mention the great styling and incredible interior...

Sheesh, it's pretty closed-minded to not realize that a lot of people can't afford the GT, or that not everyone cares about performance. Your narrow viewpoint seems very testosterone-driven. I love fast cars just as much as the next guy, but for every two guys like us, there are ten other people who just want a sporty look for not a lot of money.

Sharon, welcome to the site. Folks, I know it's very "glass half empty" of me but if someone had their car they would take the time to get onto the web site, brag, and then be out the door again. I know I would.
Oh wow, you mean me, thank you very much I was just checking back to see all the pics of this guys car and still nothing yet, booo

6 or 8, who really cares. They are both great cars, especially for the cash. Why don't we just wait to hear from 05mach1. It's his story and probably his dissappointment. Next time i look at this tag I hope to see his response as the last one showing.. Good luck 0m1.

I wonder?

Are they all hiding somewhere and after the launch tomorrow they will be on lots?

I have not ventured out of my town all weekend, so needless I have not been angered at the ford dealer.

What IS the torque rating by the way? Heck they already have almost as much hp as a '93 GT!

ok, i see bashing, i step in

Lightningstang, as said earlier, you are welcome to get the $%&# out at anytime

now, as for Automatics and V6s

like Iven said (it hurts to agree with him, but, it must be done!) some of us arent really looking for 4 second 0-60 times, some just want a cruiser that has some punch when needed (unlike my pontiac which is a slug, and packs the punch of an 84 year old grandmother in an iron lung!)

and, the Automatic Transmission is not a bad thing at all, its a bit more convienient than a stickshift and, as was posted earlier, still gets GREAT times in the 1/4 mile and the 0-60

so, yeah,

Hey, hey... We finally agree on something. :headbang:

Corvettes are still awesome, though.

First - NO one should be bashing anything here. This is a friendly forum with room for all, V6 or V8. I agree with what someone else said - if you don't like it, leave - it's simple enough.

Next, what the heck has happened to 05mach1? Has ANYone heard from the guy? I sure hope he got his car and is just too busy enjoying it to reply here but it sure would be nice to know if his '05 came in and how it looks!

I'm sure he didn't get his car. I am almost 100 percent sure his dealer lied to him.

Mach-Don't let that make you embarassed to tell us what happened, I am sure you will get yours soon enough.

Like Andy said.... Mach, Don't be embarrassed if your dealer gipped you, no probs in my eyes, just give him a kick

There certainly isn't any reason for Mach to be embarrassed when there are certain inDUHviduals that cannot post anything constructive if their petty existences relied on it.

What, punctuation??..................why bother........ :bang:

Maybe he killed his dealer for lying to him and he's in jail?

I thought he was going to the Launch celebration today. That is probably why we haven't heard from him. B)

05Mach1 is a perpetual lier. Has been for quite some time. I've been following his post on stangnet and Mach1registry for a long time. He likes to be the center of attention, but has little or no substance to back it up.

Aw... I hope that isn't the case here. With the details he listed, he surely sounded believable.

But if it WAS a lie?
