[Shotimes] (OT) Early '05 Mustang GT performance data

[mkelley1@gt.rr.com]

That story has been discounted.  On TheMustangSource.com, there is an AAI
employee who said there is NO stoppage of production or shipping on GTs. 
He even posted pics of the lots outside AAI filled to brim with GTs waiting
to be loaded on trucks.  They weren't scheduled to start shipping until
this week.  Expect to see them at dealers within the next couple of weeks. 
BON is just trying to rain on Ford's parade with rumors from one of its
"inside sources".

Did you see on Blue Oval news that sale and shipping of the 
new Mustang and some trucks are being stopped due to faulty 
heads (V8 only)?  Supposedly the CR is off.

Gee, Ford shipping a vehicle with a faulty engine?

let's see
Cobra, BAD
SHO, BAD
New Mustang and trucks, BAD

They really need to get their act together.
