    After five months of waiting, I got mt GT!

    Actually, moonroofs aren't an option on the 2005 Mustang. The last year they were a factory option was 1993. I had to go aftermarket to do it, and it came out great. Why Fors will offer a moonroof on a SUV but not their hot-rod? :scratch: :confused: I'm still trying to figure that one out...

    After five months of waiting, I got mt GT!

    After five months of waiting, I got my GT! OK, now I get to have my fun: I got my GT! What a cool car! Two weeks into it and I have 1650 miles on it (but 1000 miles was the trip home from the dealer) I ordered my 2005 Mustang GT on January 25, and got July 4 started off with a...

    anyone from florida

    I'm not in Florida, but Brandon Ford (Tampa Bay area) seems to always have very good prices. Check out their web site... What with the demand for the GT being what it has been, it's hard to say what they'd be asking for one, if if they'd do X-Plan. But they're still worth investigating.

    need help with wheel size choice

    Is this a daily driver? If so then I'd strongly consider the 18s... you'll get a much better ride and also it will be lots cheaper when it comes time to replace tires. Plus it costs less up front, and like you dais the cost difference can go toward soem mods, whihc widens any performance gap...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    On the road (1000 miles!) back home from the dealership: 25.2 MPG! In town driving to and from work: just shy of 20 MPG (it changes pretty consistently)... really good for a V8, but of the distance between work and home, over 90 percent is freeway on which I always manage hit a little stop...

    X-Plan how do you get a number?

    Greetings- The basic thing with X-Plan is that it is reserved for those related to Ford employees, or for employees of businesses that partner with Ford (i.e. if a business use Ford as their supplier for for it fleet trucks, or company cars). But recently, college grads have had access to it...

    How does the new Mustang compare?

    For day-to-day living the Mustang will win this battle, hands down. Not even a contest. It's cheaper to fuel up, costs less to insure, is less money to maintain, and being the newest of the three (save nothing for opinions/experience with different car companies) will certainly be the most...

    Breaking In

    Unfortuantely, I can't speak from personal experience on this one. However, regarding break in? Here's my recommendation: Beat the snot out of it! :owned: This advice comes from a buddy of mine who is a mechanic. He endorses really thrashing it early (again, not necessarily redline) in...

    Waiting for a 06 in mid Aug

    Not to be a party-pooper :( ...I hope you can do it! But AFAIK all the remaining 2005 GTs to be built are already spoken for (i.e. they are special orders). Demand is sky-high on the car which is why now, some nine months later, dealers are still charging a premium of two to five thousand...

    Your Opinion on Window Tint?

    Greets- I have a couple of questions for you guys and I was hoping to solict input... 1. Does the '05 GT come with a substansial window tint at all? By that I guess I mean more than most cars... from what I can gather it does, but I have not really had the chance to see them up close...

    Lurker says hello

    Hi Nick85- 4 tp 6 months for an 06? Ouch! I will have waited just over five months for my 05 - when I get it, that is... There is always the used market if you are insistent on an 05. But even used most 05 GTs seem to be seeling for over MSRP of a new one. :(

    Best Driving Music?

    Lotta Zepp from you guys... not that I am gonna disagree :D Cool Topic! In no particular order, here are some others to consider from all over the place: Gino Vannelli - Love of My Life (You haven't heard of it? Not suprised! :p But it absolutely works for a 'Stang IMO) Gino Vannelli...

    X-Plans all the same?

    Yes... depends entirely on the dealer. Ford has no say, but each dealer can make the X-Plan call. I'm driving 1000 miles one way to get X-Plan on my GT! As I understand it, X-Plan is Dealer invoice + 4% + $150. However, for my car, the dealer showed X-plan was exactly $7.03 above...

    Worth the Wait?

    You're not alone... Yep. I ordered mine on January 25. :eek: Fortunately, I got the news last week I finally have a VIN and my scheduled build date is June 6. :banana: That will mean I have waited a good five months (21 weeks!) for my car. I will have the IUP as well and I'm pretty...

    Any info on the 06 Changes??????????

    Another change for 2006 will be a standard feature on all Mustangs, at least as I understand it. All 2006 Mustangs will come with tire pressure monitors.

    Ordering an 06 vs. buying an 05 in a couple months....?

    Tough one... There is never an extra fee for ordering a car from a dealership; if a dealer claims otherwise, you're getting screwed and should go someplace else. :nonono: Ordering has its advantages in that the car is exactly what you want, you'll know the price long before you get the car...

    Need to introduce myself... Hopefully right forum...

    Welcome to StangNet!! The V6 is a great choice for balancing lower operating costs with performance that's actually pretty quick (quicker than some Mustang GTs of the past, even). I'm sure you'll enjoy the heck out of it. Are you getting black, like your avatar? Cheers! :nice:
