mostly stares, plus shout outs from pedestrians. Usually "watch out" or "slow the **** down." Which is like "nice car," in that I have not been shot at. (that i know of)

Oh yeah. As an early buyer (November 2004) I got a lot of interest in my GT. Actually had people follow me into parking lots to ask me questions. That has diminished now that there are many more on the road, but I still get a lot of compliments and questions.
Not long ago someone was complaining in one of teh forums about not getting much reaction from "chicks" on his Mustang. I was puzzled because I always got a lot of reaction. Recently we got a puppy, a Goldendoodle. We go and sit at Starbucks with the puppy occasionally ( I cover my leather seats before we go) and between the car and the puppy we get a lot of "chick" interest. My wife is with me so it s all vey innocent but I have thought that it is a great way for single guys to meet women. So if the car alone doesn't do it get a puppy to bring with you? Oh well.
Enjoy you car! We do.

RE: Compliments Reeceived
I still get compliments on my car, last week we had a company meeting (we have 4 new employees so it was time to introduce them to the rest of the team) when it was time to introduce me to the new guys, what my boss said was "he's got the coolest car in the company, AND he races it for fun!!" 
One of my female co-workers saw me on my way to work, when she got there she went to my office and said "I'm happy to see you drive that car the wait it's meant to be driven", lets just say I wasn't doing 20MPH.
Two days ago I was at one of my uncle's house, there were a couple of friends there, one of them had a kid about 7 years old, he's pretty cool with me so he asked me if I still had my other car, I told him I had a new one so he asked me to go out and show him my new car. I took him to see the car, turned it on and he was just drooling over the car. We went back into the house and he was still thinking about the car, he looks at me and says "you know, you can get away from the cops on that car!!!"

I had a strange woman come up to me and say, "I could get off just riding in the passenger seat of your car". I have had lots of compliments, but that one stands out as the most interesting.

I got mine in December 2004 and had to drive about 300 miles to get it. I stopped at a rest stop on the way home to let my wife use the facilities and two guys jumped out of their car and begged me to let them take pictures of it. Since then I get plenty of thumbs up and comments like "nice ride"
