Myself.. I'll be keeping mine.. After my warranty goes i'll mod the **** out of the motor, money permits.. Remodeling a house is costly, blah..

Will the mod sites still work with the S197s or will they just go with the fad??
a lil off topic but how do u like ur Roush axle back exhaust?

I will only get the new model if they have the mufflers moved back to the middle where they are supposed to be. The S197 sound drives me crazy. I keep trying to come up with a good way to get some mufflers welded in under the car, but there just isn't enough clearance. Someone at Ford deserves a punch in the face for putting the mufflers at the rear where they "spit" their sound out. What a lame design.

I have been waiting for the new ones to come out so I can toy with the dealerships on an 09 or maybe 09 GT. I love my 6 dont get me wrong...its a great car for the college kid on a budget but I wanted a new egde GT at first. Fell in love with the S197 and couldnt afford a new GT. But hey I still see some SICK *** new edges everynow and then. This new body style will have to be something spectacular for me to get it. Otherwise Ill be upgrading to a S197 GT besides....buying the first year of a new car isnt always a good idea. need to work out all the kinks.

I think I'll keep mine till 2010 to see what engine package they do but I do not like the early pics of what they may change body wise. I sure would like a twin turbo V6 though.

or u could add on to the garage with a 16 ft cieling and put a lift and stack your stangs like micromachines

I will also be keeping mine . I am leaning towards a used c6 or some kind of suv once stang is paid off so it can just sit in the garage and look pretty and come out when it feels like it.
just about 9000 miles in 15 months and I feel like im abusing it

From what I've seen the 2010 model is still the same just a few changes here and there, like the glass roof option and some tweaks to the motor. If they do come out with a whole new design it'll probably be a few years down the road. This is the most popular model that they've had in a long time I'm sure they will milk it for as long as they can.

I may trade the wife's 07 in for a 2010 GT if she like the newer style. If she doesn't, she wants some type of supercharger and dual exhaust or a low mileage used 08/09 GT. As stated above I guess we have 90 days until the unvailing.
