Opinion about the '05

hookem · May 11th, 2008, 11:26 PM

Hey guys, I'm looking at an '05 mustang pony package. I wanted to know everyone's honest opinion about them. Does anyone have any mechanical problems? I've been reading alot on Edmunds about some pretty bad problems with paint and rear end. I'll be selling my 5.4L F150, so is it hard (and somewhat cheap) to get the same HP out of the 4.0 mustang (300+)?

Sorry, it's an '06 pony...

Onemanzu · May 12th, 2008, 11:29 AM

is it for like a daily driver or what?

hookem · May 12th, 2008, 11:43 AM

Yeah, it'll be a daily driver.

Onemanzu · May 12th, 2008, 11:56 AM

then sure... they aren't to fast but they are nice... no one has problems with them other then ignoring regular maintenance issues, which leads to stupid things... but thats not fords fault

Mine has been pretty reliable. They are not really fast. But they are pretty quick with a few mods. I love mine.,

yea no mechanical problems after 3 years just make sure to take care of it and if you want it fast get a turbo kit thats what i did with a nice set of headers and i dust GT's

you got called on your bluff.

they are good cars, but if you want 300+ hp from the get go, buy a gt.

I have 45k miles on my 05 auto, 25k with turbo making 351hp/385tq to the wheels or about 400hp at the crank(more very soon),

. I have had zero problems with it (I did upgrade to 8.8 gt take off rear and front brakes, and aluminum DS) and no problem killing n/a GT's. I got the car for 18k and have about 5k in mods so I have a v6/gt for 23k. Its a sleeper.

Youngin · May 26th, 2008, 11:57 AM

wow you got turbo and all that for 5k? thats tight..

jaybo · May 26th, 2008, 06:43 PM
