That forum is dead. No activity for the last several months. Are you guys still meeting and going on drives?

Yes, we are. Check out the events tab. one thing not listed in the events is the Canyonball Run. On May 19th we are going on what we call "Canyon Ball Run" this is our 3rd one. We run 4 canyons in the front range with prizes for the navigator. Here are the details.

CANYONBALL
RUN #3
Sat. May 19, 2012
Start Location: Starbucks – Hwy 93 & Washington Ave. - Golden, CO (NW Golden)
Registration: 8:00 – 8:45am Run Start Time: 9:00am
Cost: $45.00* (1st time cost) $15.00 (Repeat Offenders)
The Northern Colorado Mustang Car Club will host the 3rd in a Series of CANYONBALL RUNS for our club members and our auto enthusiast friends. Different than a normal car cruise; we are exploring multiple beautiful Colorado Canyons in one day. A detailed route map will be provided. Appropriate Rest Stops along the way. We will stop for lunch in Morrison, where you will find a wide selection of eating options before continuing our twisty trip to end up almost where we began.
While the driver is enjoying the twisty canyon roads, we will provide a challenge for the “Navigators”, with prizes awarded at the end of the Run.
*Your paid registration also gets you an exclusive (and Unique) solid cherry wood, laser engraved, perpetual style wall plaque – personalized with your names – with a corresponding brass plate, listing the canyons. Participate in future CBRs at the “Repeat Offender” price and add the Run Plates to your plaque. We are planning annual Spring & Fall CANYONBALL RUNS.
CBR#3 will depart at 9:00am and is estimated to arrive at the Rock Rest Lodge in Golden before 3:00pm. Navigator awards will be presented there. All travel is on paved roads (some you may never have been on) and the exact route is subject to change. This is a Shine or Rain event.
Please arrive early to complete the Registration Form and have your payment of $45 or $15 cash or check (payable to NCMCC) ready. You will receive Driver’s Instructions and the Navigator Challenge materials at that time. Bring 2-way radios, if you wish.
We hope you enjoy CANYONBALL RUN #3 and you can look forward to a whole different state of affairs with CBR#4 (Fall 2012)

Not sure, but sticker on the 2013 CS/GT was $43,000 and the 2013 Base GT was $36,000.

Wow.... Is that correct?? 43k?? I know it's been 4 years but my loaded 08 gt500 only cost me a couple thousand more than that 13 cs/gt in 08... Even a 13 gt500 is in mid 50's ... I think I'd plunk down the extra coin for that first.. Not knocking it ... Just surprised prices are up that high...

I know exactly what you're saying sir. I'm right behind you on that one. 10 or 15 years ago I would have said "who the hell wants power heated leather seats in a Mustang"? But now I wouldn't want to go with out the extra luxury items. Interesting how what's important changes as we get older.

Should have added that these were both convertibles

For a while after buying my baby, I felt I good ripped off for paying too much for mine. I rode in my buddies base 2011 and was absolutely greatfull I paid the extra cash for the premium, night and day difference, glad I got her.

I wouldn't trade a premium package for the basic package either. The base package is really, really, really bland for what you're spending on the car. Sure it's cool to have the power, but sheesh, you can only go so fast. You see the premium interior all the time.
