Drag strip 0-60 is not important, unless for drag strips. All cars, including FWD econo cars can be altered to perform magnificent 1/4 mile times, with outstanding HP. You may see a Civic fly by one one fine day. Big deal. A balanced car has straight line speed, cornering ability, usable power for daily driving. Fuel economy would be a value added feature as well. "The 3.6 probably will be an option." Hopefully, it will be the engine, with a V8 as an option pkg. just like CTS has. "Do you hate American heritage?" No, in general, I do not hate American heritage. Any specifics as to what I should hate or like about America? Kinda a broad subject, with a couple hundred plus years to cover. Looks wise the Challenger is a best replica car, and the Camaro would be pretty good downsized, and belt line lowered to avoid too tall door syndrome. Last of the Fox body Stangs, '94-'04 are as large as I would go, with as tall a doors as I would hang on the sides. As for replica cars, with modern underpinnings, I can see how people may get excited about that. It is not for everyone. Would be happy to own the keys to a replica Cobra. I would prefer new ideas, new designs, and looking forward. The 2004 Mustang was a good example of a Ford Pony car which took a load of style and attitude from the first generation Stang, and built it into a more modern car. While the '05 to me is trying a bit too much inside and out to be a 1969 model exterior and 1965 interior Mustang. It is fine, especially for those in need of a more replica car of days-gone-bye. I bet ya people will find out later on that some elements of the new car are gonna cost them more money come repair time. The New Pony may require more hay over time, as in more green. I personally would stay with the '04 or older. Money no object, and if the kinks are ironed out of the New Stang, then go for it. It is a good looking car - but then again, I am old enough as to have seen it for the first time back in late '68. The Real New Stang may be coming in '09 model year. May be a little more pizazz. -Loren

You like the old mustang better than the current? that thing is so plain. i've seen better looking Cavaliers. Ford did this because they wanted some soul. And it looks great. i'm speechless about that comment!

Interior and exterior of an '04 however is better than the '05 In my oppinion,the current Mustang looks waaaayyyyyy better than that cavalier looking old one. Seriously, it looks like a slightly squared cavalier. There is nothing better about the '04 than the '05. Someone give me their oppinion on the subject!

| I guess I should be getting back on topic, but my last comment is this: That old '04 mustang was boring, and underpowered. Now, I guess the power part could have been reworked. but the styling was bland. this styling too, represents a time period, in my oppinion. A time when the American Auto industry started losing to foriegn auto makers. a time when they began to make some mistake because of previous loses to subjects like gas mileage and size. I'm not hating the Japanese, or the whole save the world thing, but in this time, American autos began to lose their spirit- along with buyers.sales dropped tremendously,and kids were less likely to even know what a Pontiac was. This, from what i've read and heard, is bringing that spirit back and More people like this one than the old (oval) mustang. And everyone knows it atleast looks good. The old mustand (04)reminds me of little more than a sporty ford escort with a V8 option. i could be wrong, but tell me what you guys think. This comaro better at least continue with the trend. It, like the mustang may take a backseat to the original, but what in this day and age doesn't. At least it's an improvment to it's predecesor. | |

There is nothing better about the '04 than the '05. Someone give me their oppinion on the subject! Unless your over 50, the 'Stang blows huge chunks! The "old" 'Stang was pretty sweet, having sold them myself. The stick was atrocious, but a studly ride otherwise.  Nothing for the 30 and under crowd thur!  The Next Camaro will have "import-intenders" building blogs in worship! GM is turning this TITANIC AROUND!  DrFill
