05 Mustang bit 7o pm local time today
Edit: Yeah I turned on the TV to see what was on Autorotica and they where saying Next on Driving Force 40 years of Mustang and the New 05. I hope its good right now they are talkin about buying classic cars.
Edit2: Nice it is good to see the 05 driving and the stance looks good more to come after commercial break.

 

Thanks!

 

That was cool.

 

Seen it cool, 05 on order 2996 gt-sunic blue.Thank you

 

Details please......what did they show and what were your impressions?

 

Man, gotta wait til 9pm to see it. 1 whole hr! Oh well TIVO will be recording it for me.

 

They did a quick history of the Mustang and then the 05. They showed it peeling out and driving. And a short interview with HTT. They also showed the pony drive arriveing at that place with the big globe? Nothing new just some nice PR, but the 05 sure looked nice driving down the road good stance. It was a red one. Also Fifth gear did a show on the greatest cars of all time and the did a real interesting segment on the original Pony and the wild crowds and demand it was the fastest selling car of all time. Can the 05 beat that?

 

Danny in FL. 05 on at 12am on speed if you did not see at 7pm.

 

Started out showing T-5 concept mustang (1963?)...then an awesome metallic 05

redfire zoomed thru the city at dusk...j. mays intro'd a torch red gt (PRETTY)...1st

40 yrs blah blah blah...names toyed with:

cheetah/puma/cougar/colt/torino/special falcon...66-68 a little bigger...69-70 a lot

bigger...71-73 BIG...74 mustang II w/87 hp ...80's performance took backseat

to fuel economy...shots of pony drive to celebrate 40th anniv...by 89 mustang to

be replaced by either the probe, discontinued or shipped to japan because

ford was lost/no leadership...90's saw comeback but nothing like 05 ...I'M

TELLING YOU METALLIC REDFIRE IS AWESOME...67-68 styling cues w/galloping

horse now floating in the grill (just the horse-no corral)...dash colors were brilliant

on tv...v8 under 25k...v6 under 20k...when you see an 05 in your rearview mirror-

you'll want to get the heII out of the way!!! :worship:

 

They said the GT will be under 25K? That would be really really kewl if they can pull it off.

 

I'm sure that's the basic GT. With options, it'll be higher. But then, everyone (at MSF) should be able to get one below MSRP.

 

A few things that jumped out at me after watching this show:

1. Redfire does indeed look great...and the car looks much better on video than in still pictures - nice, wide stance, VERY evocative of the Classic Stangs, yet also very contemporary at the same time. Shows just how good the late '60s Stang designs were...and how well they translate to today.

2. In the video, we got a quick look at the dash. The LED gauges are very bright and luminescent - they illuminate the entire inside of the the gauge pods with a reflective glow. Love that "electric" blue color!

3. At the end of the show, host Ralph Sheheen said: "The reviews are coming in: from Car and Driver to Motor Trend...and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive." Not sure what he means here since we haven't seen a Car and Driver or Motor Trend review yet.

On the other hand, perhaps he's heard something from his automotive journalist buddies that we haven't yet!

 

Thanks for taking the time to post guys!! I appreciate it. I wish I could see it! No one can possibly record the episode if it reairs?

I wish I had Speed. :bang:

Anyone know if it is on in the future. I can get someone with satalite to record it.

(EDIT: Oh, and I really like the news that the mags like it....I can't wait for the reviews!! <cough> Car of the Year </cough> )

 

Please, please...someone out there made a .avi, .wmv, or .mov of it so I can watch!

 

ditto. if it's possible.

does anyone know if the speed channel has online recaps of it's shows? maybe a clip or 3 online?

 

I saw it last night and I got it taped and I taped the other show 5th something .

It had the Mustang in top 50 of greatest cars in the world!

 

Car and Driver and Motor trend have all had the cars and have their review finished. Ford has an embargo on all media until the cars are being produced and in showrooms.
When the 05 was in Vancouver WA Mark Rushbrook, Vehicle Development Manager for the 2005 Mustang said
"The 2005 mustang GT would start at under 25K MSRP."

 

Is it gonna be on again? I'd like to tape it.

 

Unfortunately, this show does not come on again until August 28. at 2:30 am and 1:30 pm. Plenty of time to buy a Tivo.....
