Update: They (MotorWeek) has already posted their review on their website:
Motorweek 2005 Mustang Roadtest
Now for some of their results:
GT (manual) 0-60: 5.0 seconds
V-6 (I guess manual too) 0-60: 7.0 seconds.
Wow..the auto version of the GT is nearly as good (According to MT's test). I'm wondering now :scratch: auto or stick?

Nice!!! Another good review but can't wait to see the spot. It's on at 4pm today here in VA.
I also noticed that American Hot Rod (Boyd Coddington and his boys on DSC) will start a 65 Mustang build which also starts airing today. It's a good Mustang weekend!!!

Sorry about the repost, then. FYI, it was the '05 on MotorWeek. They showed a couple different ones running at Gingerman and on public roads.
0-60 times:
GT, 5.0
V-6, 7.0
They didn't say which trannies these times were with but I'd assume it was the stick. They did not give any 1/4-mile times.

Excellent, thanks Evil Capri
BTW: I got my TV Capture Card working
,
So I' will "try" to capture it and host it through my student web account from my college. We have a nice big fat fiber-optic pipe to the Intarweb, so hopefully bandwidth won't be an issue. I'll try to even cut the file down to just the Mustang review, if I can figure that out :bang: . Either way, I"ll update this post with the URL once I record the show.

I wouldn't hold a HUGE stake in the numbers they got. I remember when they tested the Cobra R. Their numbers weren't exactly good for that car. That means that the GT is even faster. ![Banana](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/banana.gif)
I have extensive video editing knowledge if you need me to compress or convert anything. (Or even edit out what you don't need.) adefouw@wi.rr.com

Also, even though it says it airs on PBS-U on Dish Network, it doesn't. Julia Child is on instead. Great, so I can find out how to make a souffle but I can't find out about my favorite car.
