Hello from Baghdad!!!
Hello from Baghdad! My name is Guy, I am currently in Iraq on my second tour. I joined the site because I’m getting a 08GT when I get back in October and I wanted to go ahead and open a dialog with my fellow Mustang lovers. So far I have had a 70 mach1, 71 mach1, and an 85GT. I basically built all from the ground up with very little resources. Most recently I had a 67 cougar that I had to sell in a divorce. This 08 GT will be my first new car, now that I make decent money. I had ordered an 07 Shelby GT500, but after some careful consideration I decided to pass my order to some one else who was more than happy to take it. You may be asking yourself if I’m an idiot right now, of if it just my PTSD kicking up. I had good reason for doing this. I thought about it and I would not let myself drive the 500. If anyone would breathe in its general direction I would have freaked out. I want something I can show at first the pound the crap out of on the street. This was my reasoning. Anyway back to the fact at hand. The GT I am ordering will be metallic alloy with white rally stripes and have the following factory options for sure. 1. 3.55 rear end 2.Shaker1000 3.interior upgrade 4.any suggestions? I will be doing some mods at the dealership before I pull it off the lot. So far will be 1. Roush Stage3 Supercharger 2. CDC Classic Chin Spoiler 3. Sequential Taillights 4. CDC Smooth C-Pillar Scoops 5. Cervinis Concept Ram Air Hood 6. Cervinis duckwing rear spoiler. For the first time in my life I have a little money to work with so I’m totally open to suggestions. I’m pretty much sold on everything I have here but any additions are welcome. Does anyone have any thoughts on tires and rims, extra engine mods (not to much the SC cost a wad) body stuff I’m missing. Sorry for the long introduction, but one more thing. I test drove a stock 07 GT before I left to come back to Iraq. It was a short drive but I was very impressed. For you new model owners, how happy are you with your purchase. It seems like a great car to me.Also with the Bulitt, and Boss that may come out in 08 not sure what I should do.
Before I go let me add my co workers as a whole drive to work in a 06GTO, 06 Corvette, 70 Chevelle SS, and a 90 Z28 modified. As you can see it is very important to smoke them with the finest muscle car every made MUSTANG! I need to be pushing around 500hp when I am done. Thanks all, and I look forward to being a contributing member of this site for a long time, Guy

Welcome from the Green Mt state!
One thing you have to see:

I really think these are super sharp.
While the GT owners out there can give you all the info you can handle, I can answer your last question, "For you new model owners, how happy are you with your purchase."
I am VERY pleased with my choice, and I only got a Premium V6 package!
Since, I have added dual exhaust and a GT rear bumper (side rockers are still in a box). V6 owners have crummy little black rockers.
My baby sounds mean, looks nice, and gets TONS of compliments.
I figure you and your GT will fair even better!
Keep up the good work and hope to see you State-side soon.
