When i bought my '05 GT there was so many mods I wanted to do and just either did not have the time or the funds to do them. So when i ordered this one I opted for the 3.73 Rear-axle package to add some of the ummphh now rather than later. I drove one just like yours with that option and it was a blast. And you can select a "sport" mode on the traction control with this option as well...it was nice
Do you one better: Car at 0mph, brake held, hold the T/C button for 5 sec turns AdvanceTrac off completely. No virtual babysitters FTW!
SportMode leaves on T/C and ESC, but it does reign them in some. Want to push the car to it's limits then AT OFF is the way to go....

This.
I traded a MB on the GT (as mentioned above) but before that I had a 450RWHP Corvette and a 500RWHP GTO. Coming directly off the lethargic MB makes the GT a blast to drive, but there is that little voice in my head that wispers of more.
I'm hoping I can hold that little voice back as long as I can, but eventually it'll start screaming, and then the 2010 will go under the knife.... Im thinking a S/C would be a nice start.

Very nice car! There is a very similar one to yours (if not the same) at our dealer. It is pretty nice ! 
I got a kick out of it because they have an 05 V6 that was sitting in the show room and left the 2010 out all weekend and it rained all weekend. Lol! Dont know why they didn't just put that in the show room......

This is the color I ordered April 17th. I am still waiting. It will look the same except the wheels. Mine will have 18" polished alluminum and the interior will be red with cashmere accent. I will post my picture as soon as I get the car. I will contact the dealer today. I know my car was manufactured May 18th so maybe it's on the dealers lot already.

Just got my first Mustang.
I went out looking at the new F-150's and left with a beautiful Kona Blue GT! They had 3 on the lot, but this was the only one with the Premum package and the upgraded interior... Oh yea, and the 5 speed! I drove it home on Saturday, and took it in last night to get the "Go-Faster Stripes" put on. I went with 10' silver stripes with 2 quarter inch stripes on either side of the large ones. Its supposed to be done tonight. You can see my wifes 64 Chevy stepside in the background. She wants to race, and Im afraid she may beat me... That is until I get the super charger!!! Ill post pics of the stripes when I get them!

Yes I have my VIN#. I've just called the dealer and talked to sales mngr, left my name and was advised to call back after 4 to find out the status. Damn I can't wait.
I still hope the car is on the lot and they just forgot to call me. This is actually what happened when I ordered my previous Mustang in 2006. The car was sitting parked on the lot and my salesman had couple of days off and no one bothered to call me. I hope this is the same scenario. The salesman that I dealt with has a day off today (???)
