RE: Yesterday RX8, Today GT
Great info, thanks. The RX8 in the UK is an expensive motor but residuals are not certain right now. The 1.3 drinks juice a little heavy for UK buyers so they are quite exclusive too. I just loved the suicide doors and looks, but my wife didn’t like its child friendliness.. or lack of. Glad to hear the stang is pretty big inside

2. Also, more room in the back (not much more) b/c my son is 6'3 and daughter is 5'10", so every little bit helps

Sorry that this is a little off topic, but did you put on that front spoiler yourself? Just wondering cuz it looks dam good and i wanted to know if it was easy. And i couldn't find it on the steeda website, is it the same as what they call the splitter? Also, i was curios as to wether or not you just put on new springs to lower your stang or if you got an entire package (springs, shocks, struts)?

The dealer hooked you up with those Enkei LM1/5's? Is this something that every dealer can do?

You defintely made a fine choice choosing the GT.....its a great car.... BUT there is no way that a GT has more room in the back than an 8... it has considerably less leg room and no head room so to speak of.... your 5'10" daughter will not be comfy back there... if she ever pisses you off, forcing her to sit in the back can be a new and creative way to punish her.... and your son? 6'3"?... thats a straight up write off for rear seating all together.

Nope, b/c of more room in the front, the front seats can be moved up providing LOTS more room in the back compared to the RX. My son sits in the front passenger side, which provides more space for my daughter behind him. My wife sits behind me. We have only done this twice. Usually its just me and the wife, thank goodness.
