@@katone999 I no longer have the car but I had a good experience. I did need a new catalytic converter but I later traded the car in and purchased a Toyota Camry; more space for the kids and Much better overall. I did learn though to never buy a used ford lol
They did a great job with this car. The evolution from the prior model was an enormous leap forward in quality and design. Kinda want a well cared for convertible.
Absolutely agree. I think they nailed the styling with the 05-09. Looking for a convertible In a couple years, I'll be looking for a GT coupe myself. I wish I could find an '08 Bullitt.
In MotorWeek testing, this awesome S197 Mustang GT ran almost identical times as the 2014 Infiniti Q50 3.7 RWD. I still own my 2015 Q50 3.7 Premium RWD. Both cars did 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. But the Q50 ran 13.6 @ 103 mph versus 13.8 @ 103 mph for the GT. Both cars are pretty quick for stock when they were tested here 👍
i had one of these....loved it was too big though, felt like a challenger compared to the foxbody & sn-95 cars i was used to driving, still got rear ended on the highway and they toataled it out like they do, she coulda easily got fixed, she had low miles and clean interior, clean body too made decent power, didnt rev as high as a 4v or sound as good but they made good torque and took to bolt ons
How many years were those premium GT wheels offered? Bought my used '05 GT premium in 2011 with 6k miles; now has 24k miles. Had ALL of the stereotypical 'issues' of the early models - still puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it!
Who cares? These weren't luxury cars. I've had mine for almost 10 years, put over 160k miles on it, and it's been almost problem free, despite my heavy foot and mods. If it were a BMW, I would have already payed sticker just to keep the damn thing on the road.
@@blacksunshine1089 agreed. Don't know if you still have yours, but I still have my 2008 GT with 132K miles, driven hard and tracked, and its still running strong! Good cars. Not the fastest, but fun.
When I was younger my aunt had one of these mustangs and when I had the opportunity to ride in it I fell in love with it. Unfortunately she didn’t take care of it well and ended up taking it to a junkyard. Till this day I’m so disappointed that I wasn’t old enough to buy it from her. I’ve never seen one on the street are they rare now?
From 2005-2009 by far the best looking retro muscle car Mustang ever made period! From 2010-2015 best looking retro muscle car Camaro! From 2008-2021+ best looking retro muscle car Challenger period!
The S197 Mustang GTs were underpowered with only 300hp. I owned a 2007 mustang gt and didn't care for it, though it was reliable as hell and i powershifted the shit out of it. My 1996 mitsubishi 3000gt vr4 was much faster than the mustang in a straight line. I also owned a 93 300zx tt 5 speed, and that was about as fast as the mustang as far as acceleration, but way more fun to drive.
Gold Standard Grooms I don’t know, the Mitsubishi only had 20 more hp, but also had less torque and weighed a couple hundred pounds more. It was 2/10ths of a second faster but that owes more to it’s all wheel drive system then it does power. Plus that and the twin turbo 300zx (which is slower) were built to much different price points.
These cars were underated you can find 35 hp with a retune and removing the air filter alone . And there is much more on hand . And there must have been a issue with yours because those other cars you listed I've spanked huge !!!
Never understood why Ford couldn't just offer a normal sunroof that opens like just about every other manufacturer. It was always a deal breaker for me...
Look at the 2013 they look much better people who brought the 2010-2012 must regret it now. I'd hate to own a 2010 it has nothing going for it. 2011-2012 good powertrains. 2013 looks much cleaner its the facelift.
I like the 10-12 look better in my opinion.. as for the 2010 drivetrain I remember talking to a guy at a car show years ago when they just reintroduced the 5.0 and the guy just bought a 2010 with a 4.6 I said you must be mad he said at first he was then he popped the hood and says pointing to the engine "so I had to call Whipple and get this" lol
BimmerM5e39 I don't know I really like the 2005 to 2009 look. It's the one that started the modern muscle wars. It's the one that brought back the camaro out of retirement and help give birth to charger n challenger.
my 5.0 trans am put only 150 hp , smoke regulation kill big engine but with technolgie evolved they make more and more power wih each generation , and keep in the regulation range and yes a 4.6 is a big engine , most car in europe are 1.6 to 3 liter engine .Gaz here are 10 $ a gallon and ecotaxe are approx 10000$ if you purchase a V8
With everything so advanced and technical I like how this show still got that 80s feel
Got this car today! Coming from a Monte Carlo to this powerful engine is like heaven lol.
Godsgeneral21 how has it been
Long term update lol
Lloyd EXplains IT all yeah I hope he responds too
@@katone999I can tell you my experience, over 215k problem free miles in 15 years.
Yea I here you, I bought a new 1986 Monte Carlo ss. The ss should of meant super slow, NOT super sport.

this video looks like it was filmed in 1970's
Bet
I kinda like the look
In general, up until they got better cameras and graphics, that was the whole appeal of Motorweek.
Nah, it looks very 1980s 😁
I like that about it.
That roof is the next best thing to the convertible.

That's a great buy! I think those wheels were offered from 2005-2009 before the S197 refresh. I bought my '05 in '15 . . . but with 160k miles.
Those wheels were offered from 2005 to 2009. My 2006 GT looks exactly like the one in the video, but with a rear spoiler and no glass roof.
4:06 " The cabin is100%..hard plastic" lol I thought he was gona slam the mustang, that would have been funny.

Believe it or not this car is still fun to drive this over the charger only because the mustang is so easy to put stuff in

It's a shame that ford didn't offer a glass roof option on the shelby GT500.
I think they offered the glass roof in 2011/2012 .I remember seeing a gt500 on the showroom floor.
Never understood why Ford couldn't just offer a normal sunroof that opens like just about every other manufacturer. It was always a deal breaker for me...
Some have them but they are rare
@hamtrak I thought I was the only one that thought that Lol I don't like the new tails.
The glass roof is so cool, sadly i cant find a 09 GT with one that is in my price range, guess i just have to keep looking.
Love those and the Crestline/Crown Vics with the same option.
@2:30, man even straight out of the factory it's got them phaser ticks xDDDDD
It’s called the fuel injectors!
feel sorry for the glass roof during a hail storm...and the cost to replace it
Why would you buy one where it hails? Baseballs? Lol
Mine went through the tornado in dayton ohio last year. Hood got dented glass roof was fine.
Mine sustained hail damage it’s now in texas where the chances of hail is rare is this fixable I don’t know what company fixes mustang glass roofs
what was the point of the glass roof?
What's the point of a sunroof?
Stupid question
To let more light in and the view. I sometimes wish my 2006 had one.
To watch birds poop on you while driving...
ulrek54321 girls love it
someone find me a single one of these cars with the glass roof for sale anywhere in the country???????!!
anyone else find it weird that the drag times has been the same on a gt model since 2005? and the camaro could achieve those times in 1998.
no because the camaro had a 5.7 then
Why don't all of us just enjoy our cars what ever we drive , so what if one is slower or quicker than the other. REALLY!!!
The 2011 mustand gt is fast
Glass roof like my 54 Ford Sky Liner
That intro is eerily disturbing
glass roof?!
Look at the 2013 they look much better people who brought the 2010-2012 must regret it now. I'd hate to own a 2010 it has nothing going for it. 2011-2012 good powertrains. 2013 looks much cleaner its the facelift.

BimmerM5e39 the 4.6's are much cheaper than the 5.0's that draws a lot of people. (Besides most people can't handle +400 horse power)

@hamtrak
"pure sports cars like the nissan z" lol
like 911's targa
Except it does not slide in the Mustang
Of its a v6 ain't fucking with it
lol they call a 4.6L big
and 300 hp from 4.6 is pitiful.

You are pretty closed minded the 3v mustang is pretty quick with bolt ons and tune 😂😂
Has to be the ugliest Mustang ever, well, the Mustang II was the ugliest. I never see these on the road anymore.
The 05-09 looks better than any of the new ones, lol.
How??
It was basically a tribute to the classics.
You must be a gm, owner talking so foolish? REALLY!!!
The newer mustangs look like you get 2 cars for the price of one, ford fusion and mustang what a heck of a deal. Order me up one, NOT!!-
This thing is slow, my Corvette from 35 years ago with bolt on mods runs .5 seconds faster in the quarter
No it doesn’t.
He means bolt on supercharger.
Cool the corvette was only twice as much,only has two seats and has a larger engine
Those pre-facelift Mustangs are ugly...
lfsracer79 I think they look amazing - the most retro of them.
@@OldManPhillips my personal favorite
@@OldManPhillips
Exactly 👍🏻
They look much better than the 2010-13 in my opinion.
God this mustang wer ugly looking! 2005 to 2013 specifically. I would of still overlooked that if it had a irs
Forgive me Jesus, but I disagree.
Black Sunshine on which part exactly? The fact that i think it was ugly or that i wish it had irs?
You have pretty bad taste in cars then 😂😂
Black Sunshine you’re forgiven.
Mike Molina doubt it. Like i sais though it wasnt just the looks i could of overlooked that it was the shitty engine and the stupid live axle..
