must have: IUP, Comfort Group, Manual transmission, 3.55 gears (unless you plan on upgrading)
the 3.55 option went up to $300 in 08, up from $100 in prev. years...a complete waste IMO...save your money and spend it on 3.73s for FI or AT car, 4.10s for MT car...

I considered a used Mustang but after spending time on this forum and learning how thrashed some of these cars are I decided new was the best option. If you do go used find one that is unmolested and you'll have a better chance that it was not thrashed. I’m pretty happy with my 07 and the quality is the best in class.
yeah, if you buy a new one the only people who will have beaten on it will be the guy who prepped/inspected it at the dealer, the salespeople and all the people who test drove it. lol!

remember the posi is not standard unless you get the 3.55 upgrade so i WOULD get the upgrade instead of buying a new axle assembly later

Just my two cents.I would never buy a a car in the last model year this early in the year.I would wait to see what changes that are beingmade to the 09.If you still like the 08 at that point grab one up.You will get a much better deal and still get the car you wanted.I think the changes in 09 are significant.Meaning your 1 year old 08 could look real dated in a hurry.

That is what i read in another post and that is how they justify the 300 over the 100, not for sure though

no effing way. A v8 mustang withouta limited slip would be sacrilege. I call b.s. Like I said, all stangs at least as far back as the original 82 5.0 HO lay twin strips.

$1k of mods in my 07 got me ~50 rwhp all of which can be used with my future KB S/C
Come on to the dark side, the difference will be amazing... I don't miss my 02 at all
