Just a clarification on prices you quoted above:

A 2014 Base GT can be had for ~$27,000 after $3,000 in rebates.
I just bought a new Base 2014 GT with Track Package and Recaro's
for just over $30,000.

All the dealers I talked with were willing to sell 2014 GT's at NADA invoice minus rebates. Some wanted additional dealer fees, ~$500. My dealer waived those fees as well.

I got my 08 for $30k back in 2008. Went down to $28k with my $2000 down.
I was expecting near or around the same price this time around..

Not really much of a choice unless I special order one. By that time and price, might as well be a 2015 model..

Not lucky just made offers.

I just noticed I should have bought my car this week rather than last.
Rebates are now $4000!

Why not price a 2014 GT to your specs on NADA.com, take the invoice price, subtract $4000 in current rebates and make an offer to Worthington to have one built?

As far as a 2015 you can be sure the early ones will be selling for MSRP+ and no rebates.

Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong with a Mustang!
Happy hunting.

I'm about to be a lot happier with my 3V. Just got word from my builder at the dyno shop that its done. Custom twin turbo, TB, intake manifold, heads, cams. The turbos are kind of tiny, causing some restriction and limiting boost, so I didn't quite get the HP I was looking for, but I challenge any positive displacement supercharger to make similar numbers on the same boost.

Mod on my car that I'm most happy with.....it's paid for. There are several cars on the market that might give me the same thrill as the Mustang, but they would all require financing, and I'm just not willing to do that right now.

Still got mine. Still drive it all the time. Been away from home for several weeks and there's a cage sitting in my garage waiting for me to install it. Can't wait to get home.

I'm extremely happy with my '07 GT. Yeah the coyote is the superior engine but there are plenty of Foxes and 2V Mustangs that will rip all over my car and the newer 5.0s.
