2005 Mustang GT Deluxe - Redfire
-5-Speed Manual
-Anti-lock Brakes/Traction Control

-Interior Color Accent Package
-Interior Upgrade Package
-Leather Seating
-Anti-Theft System
-17" Bright Machined Cast Aluminum Wheels

Just curious... how much?

Right now, I'm thinking I would like a GT Deluxe in Mineral Grey with black rally stripes, if possible.

At the track, I was told drivers burnout to kick debris off slick tires and heat them up.

The front and rear styling are so retro and keep you hooked, but the sides are so bland. Though I'm sure people are gonna make some slits or add some side skirts. Does anybody know how it handles? Usually american cars arent known for their handling. But at that price, around 30000, I'll buy it if its just fun to drive.

CD.

 

[Viper GTS]

Just a side note, while I really like the pictures that have been released I was not impressed with that rear side window when he turned the corner. It looks seriously out of place, like it was tacked on as an afterthought.

Ive never done a burnout like that because its not really possible in my car but shouldnt the rpm's be kept at a certain point rather than at max where it keeps cutting off and then going back up like that guy did? I dont know but when I see burnouts I dont hear the engine making that skipping noise I hear it at a constant groan. That certainly didnt sound good.

thats called a rev limiter and I dunno what burnouts youv seen but all the ones where you actually stay put or go really slow like that you bounce it off the rev limiter. if you can keep it at exactly before the rev limitor and do a burnout like that youv got mad skills

Host down, nobody wants to rehost? Personally I'm not keen on this new one (throwback design influence reminds me more of a Mustang II than a classic Mustang), but a friend really likes the new ones. And he likes burnouts. Other than that he's ok.

Thank you

Out the door with Tax, Title, and License (Virginia) it was $27.6K - Thanks to a Ford X-Plan from a friend.

Mineral Grey is an awesome color. Black rally stripes will be available from the Ford Accessory catalog, I'm planning on getting silver rally stripes myself. If you fully load out the GT Deluxe instead of the GT Premium, it ends up being a little bit cheaper. :thumbsup:

edit- oh yea, and thanks for the link to brad barnett's web site. I hadn't seen the color options, I love the LEGEND LIME !!

Since 20,000 people have pre-ordered. I'd imagine it would be quite a while before you see any. The only one I've seen is a $400 rebate for recent college grads. It cannot be used in conjunction with a Ford A/D/X/Z plan though.

The GT starts at 24.5k. The high end version runs about 28.5k....

I'm very excited. I haven't seen one in person yet, and I never jump on a new car or buy one in the first year, but this could very well be my next car. So beautiful in the pics. And the performance numbers thus far are VERY impressive.

Noooo Vic don't do it. Don't go to the dark side!

1968 gto - 400ci, 360hp, 445lb-ft, 3650lbs, 14.8@95mph
2004 gto - 346ci, 350hp, 365lb-ft, 3725lbs, 13.6@104.78mph

Why is the new one, with less power and more weight, faster?

Who cares?

The old GTO had style and personality while the new one just doesn't.

I'd guess a combination of gearing, tires, and maybe HP measurement. I don't know for sure, but I've read tires of today have much better traction than the compounds they used decades ago. They also switched from SAE gross to net horsepower ratings sometime in the 70s IIRC.

All of that is true, plus a more typical et for a 68 GTO would be the low 14s, at least with a 4 spd.

I'd also attribute it to the engine and engine internals. Which affects the willingness/ease of the engine to rev and the power delivery.
