Ok so the 3.55s sound good, and what about the 1000 watt shaker system. Is it worth the extra money for 500 more watts?

The Shaker 1000 is not worth the extra bucks! I have the Shaker 500 and it's good. But as you may hear, people have skipping, "no read" disc problems with the Shaker too. I haven't really had those problems as often as others. But I plan on replacing it with a deck with the flip out DVD screen. I just added a 10" sub and amp from Sony Xplod though and it sounds killer. I'd spend the extra money you'd pay for the Shaker 1000 and do some performance upgrades 
2007s offer the heated seats, driver & passenger seat controls, MyColor of course, iPod hookup in glove box, hood scoop and a few other small things.

You want:
Interior Upgrade Package - this gives you leather dash and armrests, heated seats, and a couple other things. Looks way better than plastic and chicks like the heat.
3.55 gears with 5-speed. Free and faster.
Shaker 500. Most here will tell you that the1000 isnt worth it.
Side airbags - don't skimp on safety. You might regret it later.
Skip the power passenger seat - it's heavy and you'll never sit there anyway.
Get the extra guages.
Spoiler delete - looks cleaner and you wont have holes to fill when you find a spoiler you dolike.
Get Mycolor. It's fun.
I got the charcoal dash panel. I think the brushed aluminum is too bright.
Just my2 cents.

RE: Im ready to buy
I for one love the Shaker 1000. it sounds fantastic and more than loud enough. Very clear at loud volumes, great bass for a stock system. The faster you go, the louder it gets. Shaker 500 might be fine for someone who is going to do an overhall but if you arent crazy about messing around with that audio stuff, get the 1000.
Interior upgrade package is a must.
Dont go crazy with the wheels if you change the wheels on all of your cars. just dont get the cheap (IMO) 17" bullits. Get the 17" machined ones for like 200bucks more.
Of course I'm biased

Spoiler delete - looks cleaner and you wont have holes to fill when you find a spoiler you dolike.
Get Mycolor. It's fun. -->Wish I had that option too! I hate the green!
I got the charcoal dash panel. I think the brushed aluminum is too bright. -->Yes, the charcoal looks much better.

Not trying to be a wise-***, but I would suggest you get a Mustang brochure from your dealer. The brochure outlines all the options, colors and packages so you can decide for yourself what optionsyou want. There aren't all that many options to a GT Premium anyway. Interior upgrade, Shaker 1000, interior colors, exterior color, sport appearance package, wheels, Sirius radio, 3.55 (recommended by most), spoiler delete, maual/auto, active anti-theft, side airbags...that's about it.
