Here are a couple of shots of my two stangs together. You can clearly see that the '05 is a much larger car. It is only a couple of inches longer, but it looks much more muscular.

There are more shots in my gallery>

Yeah, it does look much more muscular. I wonder how much more square footage (or some other way to measure the overall size) is on the current Mustangs. The body panels are so much larger, but I think that's why it catches a lot of attention!

Do you know the weight diff's btw. the 2 cars?

By the way, good call on the spoiler delete!

I'll give you 3 guesses, and not one of them is the 95!

Deleted the spoiler because a DT is on my mods list!

The above specs, except for the fun factor , are from Edmunds. Here are the data sheets:

No comparison whatsoever!!
The '05 handles awsome, even for stock, the '95, well, lets just say you sometimes needed to wipe your hiney after some rides in that car! Especially in the rain :notnice: No traction control, no ABS, and 10 year old suspension parts. Night and day is the thing that comes to mind.
