No I didn’t get to drive the new Mustang yet. That will hopefully come soon. Actually I’m just
talking about an average everyday get home from work day. I opened the mailbox to find the new Motor Trend with the
2005 Mustang on the cover. Immediately my eyes fell to the figures stamped on the cover, “0-60 in 5.1 Sec.” What?! 5.1
seconds? For $25,000? Man that’ll get me reading the story. So I settle down in front of the tube, put the magazine
down, turn on the TV and see what I have saved on TiVo. Hmmm what’s this “Extreme Mustang” show I taped after
Overhaulin’ last night? Oh it’s the seemingly Ford produced documentary on the team that built the all new Mustang race
car. Can it get any more Mustang oriented in here? I hope the car lives up to all this media hype. But from Motor
Trend’s story it sounds like it will. Some more Mustang GT numbers:
1/4 Mile, sec @ mph : 13.6 @ 99.9
Braking, 60-0 mph, ft : 120
Mpg, city/hwy : 18/26 (est)
