I'm in the middle of putting a couple of hundred miles on an '05 just for familiarization... I'll write up my experiences later. Nutshell is it's about 500% better than prior Mustangs, compartively makes all the last ones seem third-world. They were so bloody cheap and crude.
Found some oddball stuff in the owners manual, including reference to a moonroof option. That'd be a great option on this car.
Also references to brake assist I didn't know were part of this car. Still no reference anywhere to EBC, which would be a requirement. I don't know if the car has it or not, and if not then why not.
Unfortunately, the owners manual is very cheap and appears to have been thrown together fairly quickly.
And references to the larger 255 tire. I know all about the factory being unable to accomadate them in it's mounting machines... so they are delayed until '06. That'll be nice to see, the 17s look wrong on the car. However, given the desig of the 18s, cast and the large spokes, they will be even heavier. The aftermarket needs to focus on forged (lightweight) wheels for this car.
Just some quick thoughts... sitting in my hotel after my first day of driving it.
