Ok driving with my girlfriend and her family today we come by this ford dealership in the middle of nowhere near Farmington, IL. We went to look at two Redfire V6 Mustangs and I looked inside and there was a black 05 GT. Me and my girlfriends father are big mustang freaks so we go in a take a look. We opened up the doors and it took my breathe away. it was flawless. It was beautiful. Too me the fog lights are in the wrong place and the grille is too big but I'm sold its beautiful and I cant wait to own one. Hopefully a Cobra if its below 40K.

Yes, in person the 05 is incredibly stunning! I have said many times that pics do not do this car justice!

Yeah, they sure are sweet in person!!! I like the look of the V-6 front end better.....but the GT rear bumper looks better and hides alot of the underneath hardware that is somewhat more exposed under the lower lip of the V-6 rear bumper....IMO Anyway....GT is on it's way.

I wish I didnt have to wait 2 years to claim my inheritance and I honestly would go buy that mustang right now.

edit: I do have 4 pictures on my camera phone of the car and when i get the software to upload it I will show pictures.

I know what yah mean! When I saw my first one lastnight I was ahstruck by its lines but, today made everything complete. My girlfriend and I got a personal up close feature with the 05 at the dealership. The greaT thing was is that the dealership was closed for remeberance day so we thought we'd go see it when the dealership was closed so no salesmen would see me again. Luckily for us the fleet sales head saw us looking at the v6's on the lot and invited us to come in the showroom and see their demo Silver GT. The greatest moment was he did his thing at his desk (paperwork I guess) and left us all alone with the keys and car. I was in heaven for about 1hr and 1/2 and now I can't wait to drive it tommorow! He also said my Legend Lime GT should be in next Tuesday...about bloody time I told him and he just laughed.

Rub it in , Rub it in.....

Words can not describe them in person. Nothing compares. IMO the most beautiful car ever to roll off an assembly line.

My car gets built on Monday and I have not seen one in person yet. When mine arrives it should be pretty interesting. I can hardly wait.

Ya, Mike....stop bragging

I wish we could have test drive it. The interior is what really got me. Chrome around the vents. I hear the shifter is alot easier to shift. The Salesmen wasnt too much of a jerk. He did act like he knew alot about the car and he made a comment about me wearing a Tran AM hoodie. I grabbed a poster of the Ford GT while I was there.

yes, i saw my first mustang in person yesterday while driving by a dealership. Almost stopped traffic while rubbernecking. I wish I could have stopped to go look at it!! It was a Windveil Blue V6. The same color I'm getting, but I'm getting a GT. I plan on stopping by after work today, unless I get a call that my mustang is in
