THE STANG PROVES SUCCESS FOR FORD MOTOR CO.

Selling more than 150,000 mustangs in the year of introduction the 2005 Ford mustang has been proven to be a great seller from FORD and it makes a lot of sense. You won't find a car with 300HP / 300 LB of torque and 0 to 60MPH time of 5.2 seconds for under $24,000 anywhere. Part of making this car so affordable is to cut on costs of production elements on the overall design of the car. For example the mustang shares the same platform with the slow selling and discontinued Lincoln LS and uses a rear live axle a la old school instead of using a fully independent rear suspension and of course the fit and finish looks...well in my opinion kind of cheap but still it looks a lot better than the previous models ,but wait GM and DAIMLER-CHRYSLER want a big share of those annual sales and they are making plans to crash the party at Ford with major announcements of future competitors nameplates to go head to head with the STANG like the DODGE CHALLENGER rumored to have a HEMI as power plant and a CHEVY CAMARO rumored to be equipped with a 6.0 liter V8 with at least 400HP to keep Chevy guys happy. It sounds like its the 1960's all over again .
