Wow, good point on the taller gears. I just added the 3.73 Rear Axle Ratio. How is that different from the 3.31 and 3.55? Is it the higher rear axle ratio you go the higher top end you'll have? But then the higher you go the more low end power is lost, right? Basically I want the one that will give me the fastest acceleration. Sorry for the noob questions.
I like your way of thinking about the ENCS. It makes sense to go with them especially when I can get out of it at anytime. Thanks for your input! It really helped. Be safe out there man.

That sounds like a great deal / process. So the military doesn't have a special process to assign particularly loathsome individuals to that ENC position?
You invoice prices are screwy, though. Check out the invoice pirces listed on Edmunds.
Your table is edited below to include dealer invoice prices.
Item MSRP My price Invoice
Car $32,845 $32,050 $30,265
Owner's Protection $1205 $1205 $1,205
Freight $850 $850 $850
Del. Point Processing $250 $250 $0
3.55 $395 $364 $344
Sec. Pkg $395 $364 $344
Comf. Pkg $595 $548.5 $518
Brembo $1695 $1562 $1,475
Elec Pkg $2340 $2156 $2,038
HID $525 $483.5 $457
Glass roof $1995 $1838 $1,736
Rear Cam $240 $221 $335
401A $395 $364 $344
Advertising $0 $0 ~$500
Fuel $0 $0 ~$50
Military Discount $0 $2,000 $0
Total $43,725 $40,256 $40,461
So, your purchase at $40,256 is $205 under invoice, assuming purchase of the extended warranty remains at the same price. That is a good deal.

I disagree. If you're a hardcore racer, get the 3.73s. If you're going to use it as a DD or otherwise practical uses, I'd stick with the 3.55s.

Yesterday you posted the Mustang will be purchased next March.
Today you posted you bought it 90 days ago.
Use the time machine much?

That having been said, if you want a corvette, get a corvette. If you're throwin' down cash on a vehicle, what your heart says matters just as much as what your brain says. Go with your first instinct; it's usually right. You don't want to buy a mustang and spend the whole time going "damn, wish I'd bought the vette instead!" Or vice versa.

I am taking delivery of it on March 18th, 2011.
I get back stateside in Feb. of 2011. My birthday happens to be March 18th. I figured it'd be a nice birthday present for myself.
