Ah, what a shame, on the way from Ft. Lauderdale to Central Florida, the input shaft bearing of my 96 GMC pickup went out, so the next day I had to buy me a new car. I found an '06 redfire metalic premium with upgraded 17" wheels, interior upgrade, anti-theft and wheel locks. Thanks to the "X-plan" price, I didn't have to play dealer games or pay a dealer fee. This will replace my '97 Thunderbird, great car, hate to see it go, but I will definitely enjoy the extra 75 horsepower!

Now I just need to replace the input shaft and bearing on my truck

Ordered Jan. '05, didn't get it til end of May '05 (and I worked at a Ford dealership!??) Custom ordered the way I wanted it, perf. white-5 speed, IUP w/red leather. In my area, GT's are hard to come by. Dealers are limited to how many they can order.

Anyway, LOOOOVVVEEE the car. Family thinks I hit my mid-life change. I actually have with this car. I'm stuck up north with all the snow. Couple of weeks to go and I can drive it again. CAI + ture soon to come.

Thanks for all the info. The stories are driving me crazy not being able to drive my car. Can't wait!!!

I drove my black beauty home today. I wasn't expecting to buy one today, but I just couldn't hold-out any longer. I haven't had the chance to take pictures yet - hopefully tomorrow if it doesn't snow. I gotta say that the manual trans. is buttery smooth - I couldn't believe it! And the sound of the engine when startin' it up is so sweet. Here are the specs (I'll have to add them to my sig later):

'06 GT Premium Coupe (stick), Black, Dk. Charcoal, IUP, 17" Br. Mach. Alum. Wheels, Shaker1000, Active Anti-Theft

Sometimes things do work out! Last november i talked my wife into letting me buy my first mustang. I had to settle for a 06' v6 but any mustang was better than no mustang! I just couldn't see paying the crazy prices the GT's were selling for, sticker plus?! Anyhow, in december ford put out incentives on all leftover mustangs. Luckilly i live in wisconsin because mustangs in winter don't sell well around here. Thus the dealership i bought my 06' sixer from took my car back in trade and sold me their leftover GT conv. 5spd. for $8500 to boot! Other dealers wouldn't touch this deal. I was told I actually saved myself $2500 by buying the 4.0L first (put 3900 miles on it) and trading it in 5 months later on this GT. This is the only time i ever bought a car and traded it in and didn't loose on the deal! Hope these mustangs can keep a value like this in the future! The GT stickered for a little over $31,000 and they sold it for under $28,000 and put 3.9% financing on it for 6 years. Now I got to start all over modding this one!

Was gonna order one to my specs after going to several dealers and not getting the deal I wanted, but then one of them called back and offered my deal AND they found the car I wanted!!!

Picked up my Tungsten Gray beauty on Jan 18th, 2006. I put the wheels on two weeks later.

I don't drive far to work (which kinda sucks now) so I only have 750 or so on her, but they have been 750 miles of bliss! LOVE THIS CAR!!!

I just got a new digital cam (old one crapped out) so pics will come as soon as the weather clears up here. Raining for the past 3 days.

I got an incredible deal on a Procharger Supercharger kit before I even got the car and that will be going on first W/E in April! Cant' freegin wait!

Cheers!
