you’ll still get that, Driver’s seat just centers the stereo image in front of you instead of leaving it stuck by the A-pillar.
OMG, the hatchbacks have to go. HP’s in the 100’s? Not sure I would have ever bought this bad boy had I known. My '08 Bullitt.
Not the best photo
Hmm. I’ll have to give it another go. I only briefly tried it once and (wrongly) assumed that the sound was only coming out of the front door speakers.
Love that color. If I had that car I would totally be putting a billeted aluminum grille in that thing. Without the fogs that’s just a lot of grille real estate left blank.
I always though the 80s Saleen Mustangs were fugly as hell. It always seemed like they just bolted plastic crap onto the body for sake of bolting plastic crap.
No way! The Bullitt has a unique grille that the others don’t.
Here’s a bad picture of mine.

Yup, I am not touching my grill. I might tint the windows more. I may get a bra on it not for looks but I have to drive 400 miles down to Albuquerque now and then.
Going 120 mph jacks up the paint on the front. I don’t do the 120 too often anymore but it is fun since it still feels like about 70 in that car.
Eh, each to their own. I personally don’t like the black honeycombed plastic grille I’ve got and I want to replace it with something that will accomodate the fog lamps. I contemplated some of those quarter window louvres but decided against it.
And jz78817, I did try those different settings on the stereo on the way home. I still find I prefer the sound of the “all seats” function more than the other two. “Drivers seat” does in fact center the sound like you said, but to my ears it sounds a little thin, quite a bit of the woofers drop out. The “rear seats” one sounded pretty boomy and distorted. The woofers were working overtime on that setting. “All seats” seems to strike a better balance over all.
It’s not just a plain grille though. If you look close, there’s a chrome strip that outlines it. It only comes with that car, and since they’re limited, I’d leave it as is.
Yeah, I saw it…I’m just not a fan of that honeycombed black plastic. Its a bitch to keep clean (and scrub bugs out of) and its not my favorite look for the car.
I’d want something like this: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=mustang+gt+aluminum+grille&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1920&bih=1017&tbm=isch&tbnid=GjrvlfRptEW0gM:&imgrefurl=http://www.mytightride.com/fomu20bigr.html&docid=a0vNSJlk3vvgnM&imgurl=http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/mytightride/mustang-gt-billet-grilles.jpg&w=562&h=421&ei=5UdaUP_lIcjmygGOqIHQDg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1431&vpy=160&dur=2333&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=160&ty=128&sig=115953668790351900260&page=1&tbnh=156&tbnw=201&start=0&ndsp=40&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0,i:93

or maybe this for the Bullitt, if I owned one:

This is screwing up my post. The second image would be for a Bullitt, if I owned one.
The ugliest Mustang I ever saw was a black and white one driven by the CHP in my mirror one day long ago when my RZ350 was new and I wanted to see how fast it would go.
Other than that, I say 4th Gen. They just seem… incoherent.
Really? The 4th Gen is way better looking than the Mustang II or the 1980’s Mustangs…and given the right engine, a proper performer too.
Agreed with the above.
I own a 2000 GT, when it was factory stock I ran a 13.8@101 MPH in the quarter mile. That time is faster then any of the stock classic Mustangs, so the 4th gen’s are true performance cars.
I think the '99-04’s are the second best looking Mustang’s. '69-'70 are the best.
I think the '71-'73’s are the ugliest, big and bloated. Just a strange design, the '74-'78 Mustangs sold way more than them.
Compare those '71-73 Mustangs to the '70.5-'73 Camaro. what was Ford thinking?
The New Edge cars are still my favorite, assuming they’re tastefully modded. The GT needs to be lowered and the grille delete/chin spoiler combo from the Mach 1 needs to be added to look right to me. The Cobra and Mach 1 look pretty much perfect.
I’ve had 3 Mustangs now:
2003 GT with several mods, including 4.30 gears, lowering springs, drag radials, etc.
2007 GT with 4.30 gears, aluminum 1-piece driveshaft, and tune.
1998 SVT Cobra with a Vortec at 11 psi, Maxiumum Motorsports coilovers, 4.10 gears, drag radials, control arms, panhard bar, full fuel system, etc.
The 2003 looked the best, the 2007 was probably the best daily driver I’ve ever had, and the current one I’ve got is by far the fastest in a straight line or turns.
What’s it like to have a daily driver with 4.30 gearing? Are we talking 4,000RPM at 70mph here?
No, it wasn’t much, something like 3000 or less. My current MX-5 and Jeep Wrangler both run higher RPMs at the same speeds and they have the stock gears and tire sizes.
Low gears completely changes the car. It no longer bogs at low speed, it just goes. Gas mileage didn’t go down any either. It felt fast in every gear. They should offer them that way from the factory.
The 03 would top out at 105 in 4th gear though. I think 5th gear will hit the rev limiter at 170mph or so with 4.30s, but the car doesn’t have the power to get there. The stock gears would have to hit something like 250 mph to hit the rev limiter in OD, so top speed isn’t limited either. You could raise the rev limiter and get a little more room in 4th gear though.
The 07 had taller tires and a much higher rev limit, so 4th gear could go a lot further than the 03 could. It actually felt stock until you went wide open. It was a great daily driver. Comfortable and great mileage.
I went with 4.10s in the Cobra because it has enough horsepower that I might run out of room in 4th gear at the track and don’t want to shift into overdrive. Since it’s a 4V, it has the highest rev limit of all, but I think 4th tops out somewhere around 120mph. I’m supercharged though, so I can put up higher speeds at the track.
Oh to have the new GT tranny with 5 usable gears rather than the 4 I have now. Well, that and the Coyote engine. And a supercharger. Gotta have that too. And that’s all I need! Well, that and a modded suspension, brakes, clutch…and that’s all I need! That and this ashtray…
I’m sure since my engine is stock, it’s a timebomb with 11psi. I’ve though about a Coyote…
I keep imagining winning the lottery and handing my GT over to Shelby with instructions to not alter the outside appearance in any way but to completely redo the guts of the car…suspension, engine, tranny, rear end, everything. I’d have an 800hp sleeper GT.
Plus to me I really, really like the way my car looks. It’s clean and elegant. I don’t particularly like anything with racing stripes and such, so a GT/CS is right out. I almost want to remove the GT emblems from the side of the car. I LOVE the Vapor Metallic color of this car, and the old-school Cragar Mag look of the wheels.
One thing I really like about my car as it is is that it’s so spartan. No extraneous shit…no GPS, no fancy electronics…the only concessions to modernity are a traction control button, a decent stereo, ABS, cruise control and air conditioning. I love the thing. Mechanical music.
Naw, keep the 4V and stuff it with forged parts!
Not Mine 
I had to see it in bad times a couple years ago, but that’s what it looked like.
