Congrats on the GT500.....be advised the one thing that is not in the owners manual is the very contagious virus that comes with all mustangs, V6, GT or GT500....I thought when I sold my 05 gt that I modded the heck out of and bought my 08gt500 that I was immune to it....however I realized in short time I was wrong...VERY WRONG.....The mod bug virus known as GD12MD (or good one to mod) is very contagious and even the GT500 platform is far from immune. like so many other viruses, it starts out small with the sniffles (car mats, shorty antennae) then soon enough it becomes fully evolved into a major virus....(pulley changes, suspension changes, heat exchangers, cold air intakes, custom tunes) some react even worse and get major fever , chills and worse (supercharger upgrades, twin turbo, nitrous) each one of us have our own immune systems and each one reacts differently....but ultimately...it infects us all....so congrats....be carefull and have fun..

In a couple of years I hope to have one, but I have to break even in what I owe and move to a location that I can drive it year round to justify the cost.

I hear that...I dont think the 3 month season of good weather in Buffalo is a good place to own one if you want to drive it.... LOL J/K
