Just picked my GT up!
I just picked up my new Silver GT tonite.... 5 speed, no IUP, but the alternate Interior package (shiny spokes on steering wheel, but not on dash)
I called every dealer I could find and "discovered" my car about 6 miles from my house! It was the exact car I would have ordered!
While i was picking my car up, I met another new owner who was picking up the EXACT match to mine. His was on order since November. Mine was just waiting for me on the dealer's lot. I feel very lucky to have hit it just right!
Paid MSRP, but I know the dealer gave me some extra on my trade in... Not a bad deal, all in all.
I feel bad for those who have been waiting - it's worth the wait!
ps. SNOW predicted for tonite here in CT...

RE: Just picked my GT up!
Since the originator of this post, listed color, and several options, I will list mine 4 ya too. As in the pic. firered paint, prem. GT (shaker 500) leather in light graphite, 5 spd. She has the stock wheels, from what I have seen discussed here I think they are called the bullet wheels, sport appearance pk, and wheel locks is it. Listed $26650.00, X_Plan was set at $24750.00.
I wanted a Mustang the last 5 years, but never had a beater car for the snowy winters here in Indiana. I hope to drive this one until the 06 or 07 SVT comes out. If I have my Harley sold by then.... Ka-Ching....upgrade it !!

ADHD (me) Gotta love it.
I really want an '05, but I have a 1/4 mile long hilly curvey drivway and it snows here so I need a 4x4. Also whenever I get a car instead of a truck for my daily driver I can't wait to get rid of it and get a truck again.
Is the firered the bright red or the darker red? I love the darker red

RE: Just picked my GT up!
redfire is the darker red. I really like it too. I am 46 years old (the car makes me feel like a kid again, lol) and wanted a stealthy color. My beater is a 88 Caddy Eldorado, sounds silly but it is a V8 front wheel drive. It has been plenty good in the snow (4 inches or less), and you see a lot of them with over 200K miles on the clock.
My ideal combo.... Mustang and Truck, or maybe an 4X4 Escape. I just want to get the Mustang paid for first.
