    whats a fair price for a base gt

    Most dealers will pass on that deal. This car is worth MSRP. The SN95 wasn't.

    whats a fair price for a base gt

    MSRP is a "fair" price. I'm in the business, and like most '05/'06 owners, I paid sticker. There's not much markup in this car, so if you get any discount, be happy. Don't be like these guys that want to make a career out of trying to weasel every last dollar out of a dealer. Life's too short to...

    Stripes

    Graphic-Express.com sells self-adhesive stencils for paint applications. Find the style you want and order it over the phone, so there is no confusion over which set(Left & Right side) to order. I did the G.T. 350 stencil, and had it painted the same color as the LeMans stripes. You can find...

    4.10 gears

    If that's with Ford gears, that's a very good price. The gears are $200+, so that leaves your mechanic about 3-hours to do all that work! It's a 4-hour job unless your mechanic is some kind of rear end god! You won't be sorry with the 4.10's. They turn your car into a monster!

    How much should I pay for an 06 GT?

    It's not hard. There's about $1,900 in a GT. How much of that do you think is yours? Don't be like some of these guys that spend half their life making a decision or stressing over whether the dealer made a profit on them. A-plan, X-plan, Shmux-plan. Like most, I paid MSRP and was happy to do...

    Strut Tower Brace?

    It has little benefit on new Mustangs. Ford took care of that with proper design. Notice that Multimatic does not use one on the FR500. No one knows more about the new Mustang than they do.

    Rebates coming BACK?

    Dude, calm down; why all the negativity? Not all Ford Dealers are "F'ing", and if you would just buy a Mustang instead of talking about it, you would feel much better. What does X-plan have to do with it? If you can't afford a GT, how can you buy a Shelby? That should get you fired up!

    Confused about Longtubes for 05 GT

    He's right. Remember, we're talking 281 c.i. here. A tiny engine by musclecar standards. Have you seen the headers that Multimatic uses on the FR500? They are a single tube running from the front exhaust port, w/ tie-ins at each exhaust port! And that's all that's needed. Some back-pressure...

    Factory to Dealer Incentives and Holdback!

    It sounds like you are getting a very good price. Most of us here happily paid MSRP, so don't spend so much time worrying about whether the dealer is making a profit. Any discount is a favor to you. Buy the car and enjoy it.

    Aero Exhaust

    I have them on my GT. I bought them from www.mrt-direct.com. I really like them.

    Picked her up this morning. WOW!

    Congrats! I haven't had so much fun with a car in years. But be careful; this car can turn you into a monster!

    electric water pump

    It doesn't free up any horsepower. You eliminate the 2HP load from the pulley set up, and you add a 2HP load to the alternator! What's wrong with that picture. If it was practical, the manufacturers would have been doing it all along. It's for drag motors that run for maybe a few minutes at a...

    Should I change my oil at 500 miles??

    Your car has a 5W-20 syn-blend in it already, and you don't need to change it yet. This topic is brought up weekly, and there will follow 50 posts with advice on what's best. It will end with two guys taking shots at each other about who's brand is best! Change it based on how you drive, and at...

    Axle-back, any gain?

    Not much HP, but transforms the sound from "rental car" to "kick-ass".

    What's everybody paying for an 06?

    MSRP like most people. There's not enough mark-up in the car to worry about.

    No Wonder Ford is Hurting!

    You must have thought that it was going to be a regular model. And a "failure"? How do arrive at that conclusion? It is a phenomenal car, and won every comparo against cars costing twice as much! And here's the clincher: it is likely that the car will always be worth what MSRP was when new. Not...

    Question about cheap interior

    I think the interior is right on target for the price and type of car the Mustang is. The plasics are the latest compounds, they are lightweight, and snap together with good security. I'm in the business, and a see more interiors than most people. Several posts mention American and German cars...

    Test drove an 06 Today

    You drove an '05 last year and now you drove and '06? What are you, a serial test driver? I'll bet the salesmen love to see you coming in! LOL. I never even sat in a new Mustang until the day it came in and I drove it home.

    Challenger survey

    That's what I thought. Chrysler doesn't care about enthusiasts or loyalty. Only how to get in on the action.

    When is ford going to sell the Shelby?

    Dude; what kind of grammar is that? I guess you mean you'll need about $60-$70,000 cash, and be close friends with a dealer principle.
