I found these after I voted for the 05 to be the R & T 2005 car of the year.

They are from the road test which will be in the DECEMBER issue BTW.

Keith, we both have the Greenland/Iceland parole coming in December. I can't wait to get back to my car, I can't imagine what you are going through.

It isn't as bad as I'd feared up here. Actually been a great assignment except for the year away from the family.

Today: 14 degrees, 35 mph winds - darn cold. We got about a foot of snow this week, and are down to about 11 hours of daylight, heading to 24 hr darkness.

Getting in my 05 will make it worth it. My wifes deal with me was if I made MSgt while here - buy whatever car I wanted. Just needed some motivation!!!!!!

I think Road and Tracks highest selling issue is December, so that may explain why the Mustang will be tested in that issue.

Nice Pictures! Dan, Thanks for posting.

I love that color sometimes. It looks great in the sunlight, If it's dim or shadowy (is that a word?) It looks like rust color.

Yup, I'm practically sold on this colour now steve. I'll have those concept rims as well. They look good in these shots. Only difference will be I'll be getting the red interior which I think looks awesome with redfire (not overpowering IMO, because its just seats and inserts...the rest is charcoal).

Guess im the blacksheep in this group,but im just not a fan of the redfire.Come to think of it,she would be my next to last color selection.(yellow being last).Nice pics however Dan,i have read road and track for years now,and find them to be pretty unbias to what they like.So reading there review will really help me cement or not a possible spring time order.

Let's not forget the color in the picture you see was probably "tweaked" by Adobe Photoshop Elements or something similiar to give the most dramatic effect possible.

Dan-Don't go redfire. I know you have been debating between Torch and Redfire for a while now.


Get the Torch. go to your local dealer and find a Torch mustang. The best color right now, in my opinion. Remember, when they show it in pictures it is under OPTIMAL lighting, and will really not look as good as that on the road. Torch is brighter and more vibrant in real life, while redfire is dark and maroonish.



Don't flame me, just comments.
