Hey everyone, check out this link at BlueOval News:
http://www.bonforums.com/mustang/mustang_05chassis070302.htm
The article says that instead of using the DEW98-Lite chassis (which is a modified chassis from the Lincoln LS and the Ford Thunderbird) Ford is exploring using a modified Focus chassis for the all new 2005 Mustang. It is still supposed to be rear-wheel drive though.
This makes me feel even better that I am getting a 2003 Cobra. I don't know, maybe they can make a good 2005 Mustang out of a Focus chassis, but the last time Ford did something like this was the Mustang II from ths 70's, which was based on the Pinto chassis.
If this BlueOval News article is correct, it sure will be interesting to see what Ford comes up with for the 2005 Mustang, and also to see how people react to a Mustang based on a Focus chassis.
What do you guys think about this?
