THE 2005 MUSTANG!!! PICTURES OF PRODUCTION MUSTANG!!!!!

[fast64]

looks like the v6 will actually have a 4.0

[Dom]

At first the V6 will acutally be a Duratec 35. It's a 3.5 DOHC engine. As seen here:

http://www.allfordmustangs.com/artman/publish/article_265.shtml

But I guess things changed. Even though it will now have 200 HP, it'll be a much power-to-weight ration as the 1994. The new platform, well, has a real big ass on it.

I'm not liking the spoiler being color-keyed. Paint it black or shave it off, your going old school keep it that way. As for the interior, they should come with stock "Running Pony" floor mats and get rid of the purple seats. That's as good as the Black-and-Red, and Black-and-green interior that came with the early 94s.

The manual shifters should be bend around like the 67s and should have the lock-out on the reverse gear. (That's a little bar across the shift handle that you pull up to get it to go in reverse.)

As for the inside, add an option that looks like the new '03 hood but intergrate blinkers into them too. Might also be wise to add sequential turn signals too.

I got alot t else I'd like to say about this car too. But I'm to lazy. :-P

[tire]

bah, the days of the pushrod is over. what days are these.

i'd take that 3.5 4v over a 4.0 2v though.

sweet lookin car... but they're making it harder for the v6 to tread in v8 territory

i guess they listened to emails from v8 owners complaining about getting smoked by some little v6

uhhhhh... i doubt it. more like they want to take over the former fbod v8 market by offering more power for all models.

[dark]

^lol i was being facetious

:p

[Ken]

Variable Timing...


So now the GT is VTEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.. lol

[Laser02]

A 9-hp increase for the 6? What an achievement...

[Dom]

Hey it's an 52 increase to me!

But the new engine will respond better to mods now. No replacement for displacement? Remember that?

The pushrod is over because its not emmisions friendly. With an OHC you can control the millisecond the valve opens and closes.

[Laser02]

Yeah but, look how long it took for people to actually start MAKING mods for our engines... I don't see an explosion in aftermarket mods for the 05 mustang anytime soon.

[Zim]

GT mods will still be available since its still the 4.6L

blowers and things like that probably wont need much R+D

[MusclesFromBrussels]

ahhh yes the reason im getting a srt4 ................ so ugly.

[01mineralgrey6]

but its still a neon......there quick(srt-4) but ugly IMO, Id rather have the EVO, or WRX, but its your choice

The basic stuff will take awhile to make. Like CAI, headers, after-cat, ect.

The hardcore stuff like strokers, intake manifolds, heads, ect. will alreay be able to bolt together.

[MusclesFromBrussels]

i think the srt 4's look a ton better then the 05 stang. That thing is just plain fugly. Looks like a box with tires. As far as previous mustangs its all a matter of opinion. Personally im just kinda tired of mustangs.

[fast64]

steve, the srt-4 is crossed eyed. and shit, the new mustang is 40 years old, it ain't ugly

[Autobadges.com]

4.0 and 235 emblems are getting made!

[fast64]

i'm sure that 4.0 is bigger than 235???

[fast64]

4.0L = 244ci

u would be cross eyed too if u dyno'd at a underated 235ish hp and 255 ft lbs stock in a 2800 lb car.

[Laser02]

thats... really not that much.

i'd rather have 500hp in a 3200lb car.

[MusclesFromBrussels]

of course u would but ur stuck with 190 in a 3500 lb car

[MusclesFromBrussels]

and thats at the crank

[Brent]

lol

thats at the crank, i'm sure, and if it is, I do and last time I checked........I'm not cross eyed.

[MusclesFromBrussels]

dont make me post dyno slips of multible stock srts putting down 235 plus down at the wheels. And 250 plus ft lbs.

[MusclesFromBrussels]

:twisted:

[fast64]

alright, the eyelids look kinda cool, but i still wouldn't pay 20 grand for it

[MusclesFromBrussels]

20 grand for a 13 sec 4 door sports car works for me when ppl r paying 30k for evos and sti's.

[fast64]

my engine i am about to start will have about 450-500 hp before nitrous and it will cost about $3000 to build, plus $5500 for the car, i have an 11 second classic car for less than half that

[MusclesFromBrussels]

ya but i like new things

[Brent]

but I...... lol

[MusclesFromBrussels]

i want a daily driveable new car. Old cars do nothing for me.

[01mineralgrey6]

Are they really in the 20k range :shock: ????? That was the sticker on my stang. Well at least your not getting a civic
