Ford Mustang Convertible 2005
In this post we are talking about Ford Mustang Convertible 2005
Ford Mustang Convertible 2005
The Ford Mustang convertible defines top-down motoring in America. Some 980,478 examples hit the road from 1964 through 2002, and you can still see some of the 145,231 first-generation (’64-’66) cars cruising the streets near any high school as if the ’60s had never ended.With its classic proportions, muscle-bound skin, and flashy interior trim, the Mustang convertible is a visual trip right back to that first decade. It looks just as good as the coupe. Many of us have run our mouths about the retro obsession of J Mays, Ford’s styling director, but we have to thank him for the Mustang, which is retro done right. It makes for a driving experience that’s just as good as this car looks. When you bend the Mustang GT convertible into a corner, it takes a set quickly, unlike the previous-generation car, which feels like an old, creaky sailing ship in comparison. Broken pavement will shake the new convertible’s steering wheel and windshield header, but these motions are damped out quickly. Just like the coupe, the convertible works its front tires effectively, and the steering delivers quick, linear action. The convertible also rides well on the Mustang’s four-link, live-axle rear suspension with its low-pressure, gas-charged Tokico dampers. Drive this car at a swift but relaxed pace, and it’s fine; if you want real hard-bitten cornering dynamics, you’ll start by fitting bigger tires than the GT’s 235/55WR-17s.

Ford GTX1 Roadster 2005
With the 1966 Sebring-winning Ford GTX1 roadster as inspiration, Ford SVT engineering supervisor Kip Ewing unveiled his take on that legendary racer during the opening day of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. Ewing conceived the idea for a roadster while working on the Ford GT launch, and after completing initial design sketches and engineering studies on his own time, he won the privilege of utilizing the Ford’s SEMA Technology Initiative to bring the Ford GTX1 roadster to life. Ford’s SEMA Technology Initiative began in 1999 with the sharing of technical drawings and electrical schematics of the then-new Mustang. The program has expanded over the years to include the majority of Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles and now provides three-dimensional CAD data to aftermarket companies looking to develop parts and accessories. As part of Ford’s initiatives to promote its vehicles to SEMA members in the aftermarket, Ford supports a selection of project vehicles to be built every year for the SEMA Show, and the Ford GTX1 was one of them. The Ford GTX1′s rear clamshell covering the engine has been redesigned to feature two buttresses that flow rearward from the seatbacks. Without the need for a backlight due to its open-top configuration, the view into the engine bay could have gone away, but Ewing knew the importance of showcasing the 550-horsepower 5.4L supercharged V-8.
