Today I finally got to test drive an 05 GT w/5sp and all I can say is WOW, I'm impressed. I just sold my 95 gt vert w/5 sp and I've talked my wife into trading her PT Cruiser for an 06 GT this spring. I know we'll have to order one to get just what we want - GT with red/charcoal interior - just have to decide/agree on stick or auto, Redfire or Tungsten.
She hadn't driven or even sat in a new 'stang, so today we stopped at one dealer who only have a basic V6 w/auto - so she drove that. Then we stopped at another dealer who had a GT stick. He handed me the keys and a plate and let us go for a drive, so drive we did!
After that I feel I can live with my wife's choice of Redfire if I can have the stick! The "fun-factor" with a stick is soooooooooo much better. I had already driven a GT w/auto (convt) and thought it was acceptable, but not so after driving the GT stick!!!!
Being that we will be "sharing" the 'stang I do need to keep her happy with our choice and won't be able to do too much in the way of mods, but I will have fun with it. I'll be asking for advice on this later
So all we have to do is work out the details and plan our order to get delivery in late March or April. Being that we live in Michigan and not far from where Mustangs are built we can probably go watch it being built.
Just thought I'd share our thoughts and plans to be Mustang owners once again.
