I was really thinking about what the difference is. Since the OP had a GT before it is kind of direct compare.
My 2010 GT is about $650 per year. But insurance changes by ZIP Code, driving record, years dirivng, etc. So I was thinking about difference on a direct compare.
Still if you are $1500 per year, it sounds like it might be about 2x.

I had an 06 GT premium convertible and my rates were $486 a year.
My 2010 GT500 has HID and a Shaker 1000 and my new rates are $716 a year. That's an increase of 47.33%.
Hope that helps.

Congrats on the car, yeah my 2010 GT not a 500 just a plain V8 GT Priemium is less than what my Toyota Corolla was which got *** ended and totalled, why I got the new Stang, but can you agree, that much $$ for that nice a car and they can't paint the stripes on and seal, they have to put a warning label to not spray at car wash with the wand?

Went into the dealership 3 weeks ago to buy tires for my truck and inquired on Ford Racing blowers for my 06 GT. Walked out buying a 2010 GT500 that they already had on order and received in a week and a half later. Kona blue with white stripes, HID headlights, car cover, and Shaker 1000. Complete difference from my 06 GT! The handling and power can't even compare. I had a Corsa exhaust on the GT and was planning on putting something similiar on the GT500, but after hearing the stock exhaust on the GT500 I like it better than Corsa.
Broke the engine in by putting 100 miles on it and then drove it like I stole it. After giving the blower a workout I pulled it into my garage and noticed smoke cominig out of the hood vent. I almost had a heart attack but realized it was just the paint baking on the blower. I couldn't get a good hookup with the tires and had significant wheel spin in 1st through 3rd but that's probably the cool weather, as it was 25 degrees. I'll try it out in the spring with some warmer weather. The manual says that they don't perform that well under 40 degrees.
In short, I'm a little kid again and am having fun with my mid-life crisis.
Here's a link to some pics; can't figure out how to pin them to this post.

The exhaust does sound good but you will miss the corsa after a while, I ordered Corsa extremes last month and they are sitting in the box until spring here in MI.
The mod bug will any stay away for a short time! ENJOY!

Damn I love the '10 GT500's. The nose is really aggressive and the rear spoiler does a great job of balancing out the rear-end that's so bottom heavy on the GT/V6. Congrats on the great buy, have fun!
EDIT: And those wheels look great, especially for being stock

Yeah, i don't have a GT500 and my insurance is $1,500 every 6 months at Progressive probably because Im 18. I read in the manual your suppose to drive easy for first 1,00 miles i think it said to break in the engine properly. But aye it's a 500 if something goes wrong you take it back and they fix it.
