    GT 500 Price From Dealer Connection

    I think I'm pretty lucky. I have it in writing from both the salesman and the General Manager that I am #1 on their list. My dealership did not require a deposit at this time. They said when the official pricing and option data comes out in January, then they will set their pricing on the...

    Release date

    I think it stinks we have to pay over MSRP! But, then again, if you want a limited production car - well, I guess we have to pay. I am pretty confident in 20 years these cars will be worth some good money - especially if we can get Mr. Shelby to sign :)

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    Good luck with your choice. If you do decided to get the Elipse, I strongly suggest you also get the extended warranty. IMHO - I do not know of one other manufacturer that has more problems with leaks than Mitsubishi. Not dogging Mitsubishi, but ... wait a second, I am doggin Mitsubishi -...

    GT 500 Price From Dealer Connection

    With all due respect, not me. I'd take the Shelby over the Cobra for $5,000 extra. Regardless of price now, in 20 years I am pretty confident the Shelby will be worth a lot more than a Cobra. Mr. Shelby has not authorized his name on a Mustang in 38 years. Regardless if he used to take a...

    Opinions: Mustang's worst feature

    The passenger seat is way to low. Unless your 5'8" or above, plan on looking at the dash for the remainder of the trip! Should have been adjustable like the driver seat. Of course, I'm always driving and am 5'10" tall, so problem with me. However, my wife is 5'7 and hates it. She has to put...

    Modding Your '05 In California is AGAINST THE LAW! Anti-Masculinist Facists!

    "Back then I had a 63 Nova with 3 carbs and very built... so when I would come up to one I would put it in neutral and shut off the engine and coast through." Thanks :nice: you may have just saved TMS members collectively thousands of $s. :banana:

    New Boxter S bites the dust!

    There is definately a difference between the 2005 Boxter and Boxter S. 2005 Boxter 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds. Boxter S in 5.2 seconds. Boxter $43,800 and Boxter S 53,100. Pretty close 0-60 times. I think the funnest part was hearing the Boxter wind up and the GT doing the same. Just a fun...

    New Boxter S bites the dust!

    :D Two runs on empty road light to light. First run - I'm in front, Boxter S (new model) From a dead stop, 0-80, I gained about 4 car lenghts. Second run - Boxter S in front (turkey did a rolling start from the light) - punched it - he got about 2-3 car lengths right off the start and I...

    gt-500 for 70k?

    I spoke with a SVT dealership today who said they have 12 on the list with a $500 deposit and when the GT500 comes in it will be at market price. He anticipates adding $10,000 minimum to the price. And this is an 8 time presidential award winner we are talking about! Unbelievable.

    $31K for a used 05 GT

    Used GT's here in Texas go for as much as a new GT - go figure. What are you looking for? Stick? Auto? Color? What did the used GT have (was it the premioum package; manual / auto; both IUP's; Leather or Cloth; interior accent package; Side air bags; Shaker 1000 etc.) I know of a Torch Red...

    Comments on 05-06 New Dodge Products..!!

    Dodge has some very nice products, but IMO are using the wrong badge for them. The SRT8 is going to eat the GT for lunch - and I must say it is a darn nice ride. Would I own either? Yes I would, as a family car. I would love to have an SRT8 beside my GT in the garage. I like them, but would...

    Comments on 05-06 New Dodge Products..!!

    Magnum - nice. Charger - nice 4 door sedan. IMO, it does not deserve the name Charger b/c it does not portray the heritage or the look. And neither one of the two vehicles can stomp the GT. They have more HP and a lot of extra weight.
