That being said...this one linked above is probably the only one that I've seen that looks remotely decent...mainly because they got rid of those god awful rims they come with...

Hehe, so the Mustang is already a "chick car"... ;)

My boss ordered a red GT Coupe with the 5spd about a month ago. Ick, another Ford in the parking lot...

Automatic transmissions were originally marketed to women anywho, the whole clutch thing was considered "unlady-like" back in the day. Auto trans may be better for 1/4mile runs, but you still can't beat a 5spd for real driving fun... and of course... shens. :D

I would bet good money she's divorced, right? I know a woman who bought an S2000 and my first thought was "divorced". I was right. Just an observation I made. I would do the same kind of thing if I got divorced!

Nice car...I'm leaning away from black stripes, btw.

That's what I was going to post as well. Blue is already a dark color. Black stripes won't be very visible. I'd go with white.

Nice car, but I can't stand the headlights... damn they're ugly.. I honestly prefer the older variations of the mustang...

I like the new mustang but there is too much gap between the wheel and the fender.

is my sarcasm meter broken? Maybe 2 inches or so?

has this one been lowered? almost no space

Are you saying it's flared out too much and tires need to be wider?

1. that looks more than 2 inches. car is too high. i think it needs to be lowered to a 2 or three finger gap
2. cannot see. pic refusing to load
3.you can always use spacers to make the wheels flush with the fenders
