Thanks for the pics.
I couldn't disagree more...
I have the 05 Mustang GT, and I had an 03 before that. Two TOTALLY different cars, and the new Musang handles so much better! All the way back through the Fox body, Mustangs had a tendancy to be really squirrely. If you weren't careful accelerating, you'd throw the ass of the car all over the place. The wider wheelbase and longer stance really stiffened the ride up the right way, and the weight ratio is something like 51/49 front to back... I may be biased, since I've been in love with Mustangs for a long time, but having owned three I'd like to think I'm a good judge. I think they did everything right with the Mustang...
Notice how all the common competetors waited to release their new models until after Ford showcased the Mustang? I wonder why...
