Problem is that once you have a few mods on the Cobra, buh bye half shaft. I don't see a car company (American or Japanese one anyway) spending the extra dough to make a mass produced car rear end bullet proof. We all know GM rears will hand grenade on you with slicks and a few mods currently. I have to wonder. I'm sure the aftermarket will address it though like they do with the Cobra.

 

Its just flat out to far away! The car is in the works now and models have been made apparently and yet 4 years..come on way way way to far away, ridicoulous.

 

i thought '08 was a tad far as well...

if they are developing the cars at the same time as holden's VE, you would think they could debut the same year.

late '06 as an '07 model ?

or is buick first in line ?

 

So we basically have about 3 years and 4 months till the car is available to the public, with less than three years until the "new car" unveiling and all the magazine articles, which leaves maybe 2 years or less before a concept needs to debut.

Can anyone say NAIAS 2005 in January?

 

I wouldnt say that just yet, look at what happened in '67. Camaro came out and took all kinds of sales away from the Mustang. It can do the same thing in today's world because it will basically be like in the 60's, a BRAND new pony car (wearing the Camaro nameplate I hope) coming out to go toe to toe with the Mustang.

If its that long away, leaked tidbits and concept cars will be enough to keep me entertained till it actually comes out.

 

Its going to be sad watching those possible "40th anniversary" sales going out the window.

 

Well I have one personal positive to the release date in 2008. I should be done with college and just far enough into my first job to be ready to buy my first brand new car by then.

 

True, when a car comes out in 2008 it's a 2007. So that's about right. You won't have to worry about the stang, it's suppose to be killed after 05, that's if Ford follows their plan. I think there is no way they can leave the Camaro out of Chevy because that's the only rear wheel drive performance car they have. GTO came out, I heard it's only to boost Pontiacs sales, but if the Stang is gone, the T/A replaced with GTO, and no Camaro, that's leaves the damn imports as the new breed, and we all know we dont' want that to happen.

 

Uh what planet are you on that you have heard there killing the mustang after 05???????

 

In that time frame, GM handed Ford what, A MILLION Mustang sales?

There are a lot of reasons Mustangs have been so popular over the years, but one of the major ones was being first to market. Before anyone responded, Ford had a million new customers singing the praises of their new 'pony car' and contributing to its popularity this very day.

By giving the new 2005 Mustang time to win fans and develop a huge aftermarket, the are making the same mistake again .

 

You have to be the out right most stupid person on this entire board!!! Ford will never kill the Mustang. That’s like GM killing the Vette. So how’s your 150mph 3.4L? Hahahaha…..retard.

 

And I thought the part about "if a car comes out in 2008 its a 2007" was funny.
