Wow, GM finally woke up from a what...three year nap? Just as the 2005 Mustang outsold numerous brands by itself. Good thinking, General!

Well for the z28 i'm assuming they are going to slap a ls2 in it, or maybe if we are lucky an ls6. It will definately be over 300hp since the last models were 310hp, so i'm expecting around 330-340hp for the z28 and 400hp hopefully for the SS

I like the Camaro concept. It's a nice update on the '68-'69. There is a green RS/SS concept that looks pretty cool too.

Hey, at least I got TRB to admit to the Mustang's apparent core demographic these days.

August 12th, 2005, 09:34 PM #2009I'm sick and tired of seeing these 1999-2004 V6's cruising around town. Everyone seems to have one...they're just too popular. It just makes me appreciate a V8 that much more.

I spent significantly more money on it than I could have for a much later model (more like practically new) Mustang, Camaro, or Firebird.I'm sick and tired of seeing these 1999-2004 V6's cruising around town.
However, I am not saying the Mustang isn't a cool car, I am just afraid even the new models will start to blend into the fold within the next couple of years due to exceeding consumer demand. Since raw performance is no longer a big deal in my life, I like to stand out at a red light or when cruising the oceanfront strip, so I would be more inclined to purchase something like the Solstice I mentioned earlier if buying a new car.
Not to say I don't enjoy raw performance, as I certainly argue enough about that aspect of driving, even to this day. It is just that part of my life is over. I did plenty of stupid things back in my teenage and college days, but now I have too many other priorities to worry about in my personal life than 0-60MPH times or quarter mile ETA's.
Enjoy being young TRB.

Performance isn't what I'm looking for either. I love the sound of the V8 (and the performance isn't too shabby either) for one thing. The GT model as a package is a killer deal, really. I like the styling of the car - I'm sure it'll turn some heads. It just seems like you can't get a better car for the money. Oh, and the rear-wheel drive is a rare thing these days, too.
I know my thoughts are scattered, but it's just a nice all-around car.

I like the GTO.

I like the new GTO too. the hood scoop was a much needed addition to make it stand out a little. I already thought the Monaro was cool, so I didn't have a problem with the GTO.

I am waiting to see the Ford Fusion on the road. I can't decide from the online pictures if I like the styling.
