I was about to leave my parents house, about 3 miles from a ford dealership on some country back roads and I was just starting the ignition on my mustang when I exclaimed "HOLY SH!T," much to the panic of the people seeing me off. A white 05 mustang had just sailed around our bend and floored it up the hill.... I took off in persuit, figuring it was destined for the local ford dealer. I entered the dealership, pointed at my mustang and explained what I had just witnessed and my salivating interest. As I was taken back into the shop, walking under ford 500's up on lifts... etc... it was explained to me that this is the first V8 they've gotten and it was meant for a manager who has since backed out. Every other mustang GT they're due to recieve for months is reserved, but this one was up for grabs.
In the back of their garage, mid-state inspection... there it was.....
Asking price... for every feature including the disc changer, but minus the top end sound system and with manual trans was upper 27k's. They let me start it up, put it in gear and putz around with it, but since they didn't have plates ready (or since I didn't leave them a kidney at the door) they really didn't want me going anywhere with it.
What a fvcking amazing car. I really didnt see anything wrong with the 99-04 interior except for cupholder placement for manual transmission cars and the center console being seriously in the way of getting road head, and it being seriously difficult to have sex anywhere in it.... but the back seats are just as roomy (except for the low ceiling) as the back of a full size sedan and everything was perfect. My only serious gripe about it was that the window line (i think you call it the girdle?) was way too high to be able to do things like use the whole door as an armrest or climb half way out the car in heavy traffic to see whats going on.....
On a funny note, the second I said... "its a shame I can't do white," the car was suddenly on one side of the lot and I was on the other. Before you compare me to the cobra guy, please remember that 1) I'm a college kid and 2) the only thing I said even alluding to my wanting to buy was that I am a current mustang owner and I think I'm in love with the 05's and that I wanted to see one up close to be sure.
either way.... acemcmac gives this torquey beast 10/10
