2005 Mustang GTs

I thought they were pretty unique when they first came out with the retro design. But now I'm just uughh, another Mustang. They are just everywhere now.

Hey hey. My Dad is looking into getting a 2005 Mustang GT, probably new, with a v6 (v8 is like 8-9 grand more). Anything wrong with that choice? Any other sporty type cars in that price range he should consider? Just curious. Seems to me that everyone likes the 2005 mustang GTs, they look bitchin for one thing. We rented one for a half a week and we liked it a lot. So i think the Mustang will probably be the winner in this situation, but i'd be glad to look at any other options. Not that it's my choice, but since i'll be driving this car too, i wanna make sure we get the right thing. So maybe i can have some influence on the matter.

This is one of those "i'm up late and bored out of my mind" threads, by the way.

a V6 Mustang is NOT A MUSTANG GT!

GT means Grand Touring which is the ONLY way to get a V8...

and no V6s are not even close to being a real stang... sorry no love for the V6 mule..

overhyped when they came out, nice cars, but now I think are rather ugly.

They are so ugly and overhyped that only 175,000 were sold last year.

i think they look cool, on a whim while helping my sis shop for a car i took a look at them and everything in it screamed cheap plastic..and the build quality was lacking.

I don't care for the car because it's HUGE. I guess I just don't like the trend of making cars larger and heavier.

The V-6's can be fun ...as long as it's not yours.

 

[Bartolo]

They're pretty cool cars i must say

I'd rather take the money that a fully loaded 2005 GT mustang would cost you, and spend it on restoring a REAL classic muscle car. Not this modern day ripoff version but a true classic musclecar.

If it were me, I'd take the money and buy a used 'Vette......... Classier car.
