good choice! cant go wrong with these cars.
Just like my dealer said when I ordered mine and refused a deposite. "You cant build a bad Mustang"
hinting he could easily sell it if I backed out.

I feel lucky to find the one that I have. The MEGA dealer here in town had quite a few GTs but most were automatics and the closest 5 speed to what I wanted did not have the spoiler or alarm system. I wasn't even thinking about 18" wheels at that time. I sent requests on fordvehicles.com to all area dealers and got a call from a dealer about 30 miles away. They only had 1 GT on the lot but it was loaded with everything I wanted. She is parked outside right now. I know because I just checked on her

When I was about to get in and drive the car off the lot an old farmer type guy was checking it out. He said "Nothing looks better than a black car with red guts". I couldn't have said it better.

You should have told him to back away or else he'd be seeing his red guts.


Congrats on the new GT!

I was told they softened the springs to accomadate the lower tire sidewalls used on 18"wheels.
