I guess you could always upgrade to a GT500 spring.

Well. It's done. When I couldn't work out a deal with Tindol I decided to hit up the dealership in Pittsboro that they were going to do a dealer trade with to get the car I wanted. I got exactly the deal I wanted that Tindol couldn't/wouldn't do ($2000 gap in trade value is what killed the deal) and aside from driving 2.5 hours each way to get it, the experience couldn't have gone better. No games. No BS. It was a rather small dealership. They only had 3 Mustangs until I bought this one. But they had the right one, which is all that matters.
It's a 2016 GT Premium with the performance package, navigation, security package and reverse sensors (didn't want those but didn't have a choice). I can't get over how much better all around this car is than my 2014 I traded in. Got it up to 100 on the freeway and Daniela thought we were only doing about 70! Ride is better, it's quieter inside, the standard seats are a nice improvement, Sync 3 seems to be a great system and the Siri eyes-free integration works great so far, cup holders are offset from the shifter (thank God!), the switchable driving modes really make a nice difference, and everything just feels more quality and well put together.
We left the lot with 28 miles on it. It's already up around 350 now. While I loved my 2014 and think it was a great looking car, I got very few compliments or looks from other people outside our group. Already today I got nods from two police officers that were directing traffic at a congested intersection, 2 little kids stared at it in awe as I passed them on the freeway, and noticed a few other looks. I usually felt invisible in my 2014. I guess the difference in colors makes a huge difference.
Any who, here's a couple pics from this evening. I'll take more once I get it lowered, tinted, etc.

For some reason MF is not letting me post pictures. I'll post some of the 12 and 13 with regular GT springs and installed SC. You'll see the stance is just fine.
