I agree, the more modding money, the better.

despite some misinformation within, Shelby has nothing to do with the 07-09 GTCS. (they did in 1968, however)

I have a GT/CS and I love it. Can't beat the interior.



And as far as the stripes not showing up or not looking good on anything other than white or orange, well the man obviously has no clue what he's talking about.

Needadvice! I amgoing to get my first mustang iv'e beenlooking at the GT's and the GT/CS...What should i go with?
If you like the front and rear end of the GT/CS better than any other body mod, then my vote is for the GT/CS. Like everyone else said, if you plan to mod the exterior to something other than the GT/CS - go for the GT.

+1 on the Two-tone seats. That was one of the major factors in my choice. Whatever you get, you'll enjoy it I'm sure.

I would go with whichever one is the best deal at the time of purchase! If the dealership can give you a better deal on the normal GT, youcan not only save money, but have more things to modify in the future!
I have to kindly disagree here. For some folks I imagine - like me, this would be the last car I would be able to buy without any other influence in my life. The Mustang was the car I've always wanted, and I wanted it to be everything I desired.

I was willing to pay the premium for custom ordering exactly what I wanted. The best decision I ever made. I've had my car for over a year now, and I still stare at it and smile every time I walk by it and drive it. My car is still stock under the hood. It's an affordable"performance" car for the average Joe. It has been and will always be my dream car - The car that I owned that was exactly what I wanted it to be.

Get the car you want. Have no regrets.We only live once. Be as fulfilled as you can possibly be.

I like everything about the CS but the side stripes, I'd have to rip them off. Love the 2 tone interiors. But buy what YOU like, you only live once.

Personally I like the ghost stripe effect on my black GT/CS, I get a lot of compliments on it. When I was looking I really wanted the dove interior, but I am glad I ended up with the 2 tone parchment instead, gives it a little more grown up feel.

Personally, I love the GT/CS. To me, it's worth the 2Kextra. I was searching for the one I wanted when I came across my Roush and bought that instead. Fact is, make sure you get exactly what you want. Do not compromise and you will not be sorry in your purchase.

The appearence features mentioned make the CS a nicer car IMHO but are they worth $2g's??? That's what you'll have to decide.

In the end it may be more than $2g difference anyway? I'd *guess* that there's more wiggle room price-wise on a GT than there is a CS.
