My advice is to never drive a car faster than yours.

Unless you plan on never being happy.

Browsing through this thread has given me some ideas with regard to appearance.

Smoking out the rear lights will go a long way... but, I agree.. there is just something about the 05-09 body style that is appealing. Even though my stang is just a little 6er.. I really like the way it looks.. the lines.. everything about it. I'm not sure id feel the same way about the new body style. That said... youll never know until you buy one

There is a used 2007 GT500 on autotrader right now, from Minnesota, with 2100 miles.

He's asking $34,500 and it's had the clutch TSB performed.

I think you'd be borderline insane to buy a 5.0 2011' over that car.

I really don't think anything rolling off the assembly line and being produced in mass quantities in this day and age will ever be a "legend". Those glory days are gone I'm pretty sure...

The cheapest route is to buy a blower. Not only will you save money in the long run, but it will hold it's value better than any car you buy.

I don't like the new mustangs either. I am looking forward to the challenge though.

Call your insurance company and ask them what the difference would be. For me, at least, the difference was huge.

Allstate wanted $20 more per month for me to insure a GT500 vs. the GT. That was with the same deductibles.
