Which Year of the S197 Mustang GT Would You Buy "Used"?
If you were going to buy a "used" S197 Mustang GT and price and mileage weren't a consideration, which year would it be and why? Number of TSB's, options, colors and interior appointments should all play a factor in one's decision. I would really like to hear from people who have owned different years of these stangs.

this is pointless...PRICE and MILEAGE dont matter
they are are virtaully the same car, so unless you wanted a color that was only made a certain year, you build an 08 and get it

From what I hear there were some suspension changes done on the 06+ S197 GTs to make them ride a little smoother. This also added weight to the car, thus making the 2005 a tad bit faster than the other years. I'm not 100% about this though, and I forgot where i read it.

When looking at used 1) milage is a HUGE concern 2) cost is the second HUGE concern 3) then I look and decide weather or not to buy. If cost is of no concern then I'm skipping the GT's buying a shelby gt500.
