    Poll - Color choice

    OOPS! I had searched for polls and didn't realize this poll was so OLD when I voted and replied with my comments. May not be appropriate to have it reincarnated. Sorry for my mistake.

    Poll - Color choice

    I like the Redfire. Mineral Grey is my second choice. I actually like the Dark Shadow Grey on other Fords. I think I'll like the Tungsten for '06 better than the mineral grey. The taillights do show up nicer on the greys than on the reds.

    Radar: Valentine 1 or Escort Passport 8500 X50

    WOW! When I started this thread, I didn't expect to stir up such a spirited debate and it has gotten way off topic. I do appreciate the responses (and the ensuing arguments). Between info gathered here and other sites, I opted for the Valentine V1. Looked like I was going to spend at least...

    Gt - Auto

    WOW! All GT's are hard to find, but I think it's even harder to find a GT with AUTO. Then, your dealer only had AUTO and no manual.

    Gt - Auto

    I don't mind at all. Appreciate your input. I haven't bought yet either.

    Gt - Auto

    I want a GT with Auto instead of manual. Main reason for auto I guess is that i'm too lazy to shift. Seems everybody is telling me to get the manual. But, every manual car i've had I've gotten tired of shifting even though I don't have much stop-n-go traffic. It will be my daily driver...

    Radar: Valentine 1 or Escort Passport 8500 X50

    I'm making a 1500 mile trip over Memorial Day weekend and want to buy my first radar detector before this trip. Being a holiday weekend, i'm sure speed traps will be out there. But, I'm short on time. I was ready to order a Valentine 1 at $400 until I just read this: At RadarTest.com...

    Production of Each Color?

    I read in here somewhere that there was a show car that had Titanium and that color will be coming out in MY 06, but be called Tungsten. Hopefully, that makes sense. At any rate, the Tungsten is darker than Satin Silver. I think the Mineral Grey had a slight brownish-cast to it when the light...

    I have made a few posts in the S197 Talk forum- New thread and replies to existing threads. Just noticed that my posts always show up as Posts: 0 Why is that? I'm not trying to get an award for the most posts, just curious why it always shows up as zero.

    Question concerning silver cars

    I was worried about the exact same thing when my wife wanted a Silver Focus ZX3. She wanted that color badly so we went ahead and got it. That was in 2001. I realize it's only been 4 years, but no problem so far. It gets waxed twice a year (spring and fall) and still looks like new. I do...

    GT Test Drive

    Correct. That is the problem. The dealer doesn't have ANY GT's on the lot (coupe or vert). They do have V6, but it's not hardly the same car. I thought I wanted a Chevy SSR til I actually sat in one. Don't like the line of vision in them at all! I did sit in a V6 vert and like what I...

    GT Test Drive

    Actually thought about doing that, but it still doesn't tell me how a GT would sound and handle. Looks I can tell from pictures and looking at other GT's.

    Availability

    I know this is wishful thinkin', but when will the GT's be sittin' around on dealer lots for sale (and without that AWFUL Additional Dealer Markup)? Was hoping that maybe by this fall when the 2006's are going strong that maybe supply would catch up with demand. I'm sure Ford likes the way...

    GT Test Drive

    Ok, so I'm thinking I want a GT Vert, but I haven't been on a test drive in any 05 Mustang. I'd sure like to drive one before I order, but of course, nobody has any GT's. I could test drive a V6 and just 'know' that the GT would be faster and sound better, but that sure leaves a lot to the...

    How much do you want your payments to be?

    I've read in here a lot of negative stuff about that question. I'm looking for tips in negotiating with the dealer. (Although, there may not be any negotiating on a GT). What is so wrong with this question? In other words, all factors, including Sales Price, APR of loan, months of loan...

    Dealer Mark-up or not when you order?

    Was in our local Ford dealer today getting an oil change on my Escape. I'm getting ready to buy a GT Vert, but waiting to pay off our other car first. Here's the deal. They had a V6 Vert (NOT A GT) and they had a sticker on it clearly marked Additonal Dealer Markup $3995! And this was on a...

    Percentage of Mustang model types II

    Hmmmm. I realize this is not scientific, but I thought it would be representative of the mix out there. So far, though, I don't think it's too accurate. There are now 4 votes for V6 and 19 for GT. That would be 17% are V6 and 83% are GT. Since there aren't THAT many GT out there, does...

    Percentage of Mustang model types II

    Thanks ctfordguy. I wanted to post a poll just like you did, but didn't know how. I did manage to post a poll on another forum that I visit (mustangforums.com) Moderator: If it is a violation or improper to mention another forum, please delete that part and accept my apology. I'm new to...
