Hey Folks,

Just wondering how many of you are buying an '05 GT and how many, like myself, are waiting, as painful as it may be, for a SE or Cobra? The way I see it, the extra waiting time allows me to save a a nice, fat, down payment. I figure I can save up to 20K - 25K until they actually release the next model. That way, my payments will be very manageable.

 

:raises hand:

I am, by then my car will be paid off and I should have a truck for daily driving. Then I will more than likely try and get one.

 

im waiting... the cobra is going to be the first shelby mustang in 30 years. the cobra is going to have a very powerful engine, and style changes that will make the cobra look more aggressive

 

I am hoping for a Bullitt rerun. If it doesn't materialize by 2007, I'll settle for N/A Cobra or SE whichever comes with the highest performance.

 

i am waiting for the next SVT Cobra - as a current owner of a 96 SVT Cobra vert - i need a 2006/7 Cobra coupe to go with it

 

Depends on my financial situation. In a perfect world, I would have a 2005+ Cobra or SE coupe for daily driving and a classic red <1969 V-8 convertible for sunny weekends. Whatever the situation, I will always have a convertible. That probably means a Torch Red 2006+ GT ragtop with red interior for me.

 

I am planning to buy a 2009 S197 SVT Mustang convertible or 2009 E94 M4 convertible for my next car. I am closely watch developments on both.

 

Snake city for me. I need the horsepower...

 

Exactly how are you closely watching developments on these? We have almost zero concrete info on the '06 Stangs, let alone '09's. Maybe I'm really tired and this was a joke?

 

I'm not made of money...and need a V8 within the next 6 months...
So no.. not waiting.
Maybe in 2010

 

what happens if u wait for the cobra only to find out its like over 50 grand.. like the price of an m3

 

Waiting for Cobra. Even if it isn't 50k, i will prob modify up to 50k

 

The 2009 SVT Mustang will almost certainly be virtually identical to the 2007. I said 2009 because that's when I will be ready for a new car.

For a comparison, I have been following the development of the S197 stang since 1999. FWIW, I knew about the 3V motors back then because my father was working on them (now retired). I acurately predicted that the S197 GT would get a 3V 4.6L way back around 2000.

BTW, here is a CGI picture, from a source with a fairly good track record for nailing these sort of things, of what the M4 coupe *might* look like:



So yeah anyway I'm watching this stuff darn closely.

 

So the 2-door version (of the upcoming redesigned 3-series) will be an M4, and the 4-door version will be M3? Correct? (Each sharing a 400hp, V8)?

that is the 2005 2 series coupe

So many letters and number from BMW!?!? :scratch:

 

Yeah, it was so much easier when they could only count from 3, 5, and 7
now they are bringing back the 6, a 4 and a 2 + a 1
Well at least we know they can count from 1-7

 

That's what AutoBild is calling it. I've seen *very similar* pics elsewhere that are labled M4. AutoBild bases their CGIs on insider info, covered spyshots, etc. It's quite possible that autobild named this car an M2 because the data they used to construct it was presumed to be M2 info, when in reality it was M4 info.

 

Its actually pretty simple: going forward, even numbers are coupes and convertibles, odd numbers are sedans and wagons. Even numbered cars share a platform with the odd number car directly, numerically preceding them.
