Alright, so from all this great Input I think that I will try and stay within the 2008-09 Mustang GT year. Once again, thank you so much to everyone who gave some input, I really appreciate it! Im looking into the Certified Pre Owned GT's because I dont really trust buying just a used car yeah know?

Good choice with the CPO. I bought my 08 CPO with only 6800 miles on it and it has a better warranty than the brand new '10.

My 07 had the mp3 jack too.

Correct. I sadly have an early 08 build and I've got the old heads....yay.

And speaking of which, I was about to post a new thread asking if there's a way to get that feature "unlocked" with the new cars. And I don't mean some aftermarket alarm system or other electronic hack job. I want it through Ford electronics and programming. Anybody know if that's possible?
I know exactly what you mean, whenever I'm sitting in the car and I see a GT and he gives me that amazing V8 Muscle Car rev, I go crazy.
I just get annoyed because of Jersey's highered driving age. Its stupid

If you DO live in New Jersey, I have to wait until I am 16 just to get my permit, and then fully drive by 17. It frustrates me because I can already drive, but just not legally. idk when did you guys start driving ?

I've never heard of getting a permit at 15. I received my PA license at 16. You couldn'r drive before then. And I drove over to Jersey to get liquor when I turned 18 since the drinking age in PA was (is?) 21 and 18 in NJ. But that was a LONG time ago...

In Michigan, once you go through drivers training you can get a permit at 15 to drive during daylight hours and ONLY with a parent. You have to log a certain number of hours practicing before you can get your drivers license.

Yeah exactly, so while I am technically ready to drive everywhere else in the United States, unfortunately NJ wont even let me get a permit until I am 16. But I have been driving a tractor mower since I was 12 and been driving my mom's BMW for a while know, just trying to not waste this year ! Hey, do you guys have any tips on being a great driver?
