have fun reading the specs

just so you guys know these are the prices for the 2005 mustangs

COBRA under $40,000 for coupe and up to $45,000 for convertable depending on the equipment...THE 2006 COBRA WILL HAVE A SUPERCHARGED 5.4L V8

there is also a strong rumor that FORD will bring back the BOSS mustang..

and SHELBY is working with FORD to produce a SHELBY COBRA MUSTANG

how much will the '05 stangs weigh?? they look pretty heavy from what i can see. hopefully they aint as heavy as my ws6.

I would guess that the Mustang is going to be heavy. They look heavy. Mustangs have been getting heavier and heavier.

The scary thought is that at one time Thunderbirds were small two door sports cars. Then they bloated and bloated. The final hurrah for them was the psuedo-retro iteration we see today.... How bout that retro Stang?

I hope ford doesn't screw this up.  From the looks of it, though, I think my 92 is gonna have to find a new home.
