As for the Mustang GT being superior to the GTO? To each their own. I disagree, but that is my opinion. In C&D the GTO won most of the head to head performance tests, but hey, I guess the Mustang GT is better. The vaunted build quality or lack of on the 2005, go to Mustang Problems forum, seems like trouble in paradise. One of my friends works at Ford Dealer as a Mechanic ... Read More...

The Mustang wasn't in my view at the time, actually as noted elsewhere on Edmunds I was lusting after an XK8 but at 6' 3" I couldn't get in the car and spent 9 months looking for the alternative. The Corvette wasn't even on my radar until one of our Plant Managers' who drives one noted that we made a key component for the Active Handling and I should "buy the product", ... Read More...

But isn't that what Ford is about. Mass producing cheap cars for the masses. LOL, and GM isn't? The 2004 Mustang we just bought was a 40th Anniversary. I actually like the dual-colored interior better than the all one color interior of her 2001. But, once again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Read More...

2005 Mustang Problems

Written by: 5twenty on Apr 28, 2005 02:46 PM

I had the first, I've been told, 2005 Mustang GT in Washington State, delivered the first week in November 2004. I've had just about all the problems mentioned on the board including a skipping CD player, fuel filling issues, noise from the dash on the right side near the pillar, and worst of all, the awful popping noise from the front end that Ford cannot seem to ...

graphicguys writes......someone actually said that the GTO felt like it was wearing an "auto condom" when compared to the Mustang. I concur. ..... Kind of funny because C&D said the GTO was the MORE FUN to DRIVE car then Mustang,and it's steering was FAR more communicative then the steering the Mustang, LOL! Graphic guy writes.....I do think some of the lack ... Read More...

Yes and No, CLK55 is TWICE the price of GTO. GTO is NOT twice the price or that much more $$ then comparable equipped Mustang. $5k dif to avg buyer, maybe less So for me the GTO with my GM employee discount, $1k rebate, Gm credit card points etc and $1k internet pricing was not much more then a loaded Mustang V8 which goes for about $28k to $29k. Pretty close in price. So ... Read More...

Still Waiting on My 2005

Written by: purplegt on Apr 24, 2005 10:58 AM

I posted awhile back regarding ordering a 2005 Mustang GT....I ordered in November 2004 and still have not seen my new stang! I've started to call Ford direct and bug them weekly, hoping to get them rolling on my 6 month and waiting order. I'm waiting to hear back from my dealer this next week about what happens if my 2005 isn't fulfilled, does it automatically roll ... Read More...

My fiancee just bought the 2004 this weekend! Only one left within about 200 miles. Plenty of 2005's everywhere. I loved the 2005 and was set to buy one of those, it would not have been that much more expensive. But she was so sentimentally attached to her old one that she wanted another one like it. She did not care about the new chassis and improved engines and transmissions, ... Read More...
