Default New 2005 Mustang GT Commercials - a must see

Ya, I know guys it's a Ford but these are worth watching, especially the one with Steve McQueen. Some movements from Bullitt were computerized into the farm field commercial. I think it's great. I get goose bumps when I watch it and saw it on TV once.
The other one with the Armed Forces is a long commercial and is worth every minute. It was on last Sun after I watched American Dreams. I salute all the guys over there even though it's a war I can't see us winning. Just like Vietnam. Alot of guys are not coming home. What a shame to the families.

Check out the one played on American Dreams

Check out the McQueen commercial!! http://ford.ca/english/showroom/Ford...ng/default.asp

I sat in a 2005 GT and it's tempting to get one, but I want a 70 SS396 Chevelle . If I get a stang then I can't afford a Chevelle.

The Steve McQueen commercial is cool.

Another new one I saw for the first time is the new Tang in front of an old Drive-In Movie Screen. The '05 is sationery, but the screen has flashes and movie clips from all the old 60's and 70's Mustangs.

A local dealer is going the extra mile on some of these. He has two at present, one is all Black which he plans to keep for demo drives. He's approached my paint and resto guy to have some retro stripes put on the cars as they come in. He's thinking of late 60's Mach 1 stripes for some and 1970 Boss stripes for others. Should be a money maker for him and look sharp as well.

I hate to say it, but these cars are cool.

LOL! I feel the same way. Yesterday, I was at the assembly plant in Michigan and got to watch some of the production.

In general, I have never paid much attention to the Fords, but brand name aside, it is a cool looking ride.

Ford is gonna make a lot of money on these cars. They really are pretty cool. And there's no camaro in site. Chevy has dropped the ball.

Very cool commercials. I sold an 05 Mustang tonight and the guy kept asking me if I had seen the Steve McQueen one. I have now!

My cousin owns a 2004 Mustang MACH 1. After driving two 2005's (auto & 5spd) his opinion was that his 32 valve DOHC modular engine 04' was faster and the 04' sitting position was more comfortable.....He reports that the 32 Valve engine is not in the 05'lineup....and that the 06' SVT engine will be a 400HP supercharged affair?????......I understand that my comments have NOTHING to do with the new popular styling..

EVEN THOUGH I AM A DIE-HARD BOW-TIE FAN, I had the opportunity to ride in a new 2005 Mustang at SEMA (earlier this month) through the course and on the skid pad at the Ford/Pioneer/Yokohama event. I was impressed. Never thought I would ever hear myself say this, but I could almost see myself owning one.

One of the gentlemen I spoke with from the GM Speciality Vehicle/Performance Division told me "Ford is going to kick our butt on this one. They have the three things that we just can't seem to do. Performance, Styling and Cost".

The Ford rep that took me through the course told me that the only modifications they made to this car for the event was a free flowing exhaust and changing out the rear gears from 3.55 to 4.10's.
