I hate that I can't afford one... huge leap ahead from my mustang, I love the interior of them. When I bought my GT, I planned on changing some stuff on it from the start, new springs and exhaust just to name a couple things, if I got an 05, I would leave it just how it is, they are badass from the factory.

Finally it is at 300hp too. :)

I hope to have one, most likely near the end of the year.

I saw one at the L.A. Car Show this past week-end. The lady that was showing the car said at the end of this month (January). :) With delivery I believe she said sometime in April.

Ford Focus LX 1.8l. 5-door, black, year 2000 model with A/C and PAS.

(My last 2 cars were a 1.0l Micra with sunroof, and a Peugeot 405SRi without a stereo, and both were hand-me-downs so I'm pleased with this one.)

Sticks to the road like baby poo on a blanket.

Here's mine. It's an '03 eclipse GT V6. It's dropped with KYB AGX shocks and Struts. I upgraded the rear sway bar and strut tower bar. Also got an AEM CAI and a VIS Evo Carbon Fiber hood.

no to step on any toes or what not, but IMO, mustangs are quite slow. the car Ill have Im getting from my best friend as soon as I get the money, its that limited edition 1988 iroc z28 camaro, 5.7 liter tuned port injection, I helped mod it, LT1 engine, supercharger, heads, original spoiler, cool hood(see image 1), 18" wheels, original camaro rims silver,
and other mods. its at about 550 hp.hood:
thats not the hood, it looks sorta like it, but the one it has is better.

Thats a pretty big generalization, there are so many mustangs out there, granted a lot aren't 'fast', but there are definantly some good ones out there. Do you consider Cobras to not be Mustangs?

I think anything that can run 15.0 is fast enough.

Did you see that Full Throttle on the History channel where they had the Iroc build off?
