lilflipa82 · Aug 25, 2006

Hi everyone I just wanted to say whats up to all the gt owners, since as of august 24, 2006 I am now on your side.
I traded in my v6 and took advantage of fords 0% financing and got a sweet deal on a windveil blue premium 5 spd manual.
What are some simple and good upgrades i can do.
Nothing to drastic though. Thanks.

Whats the numbers on this sweet deal? I'm trying to cut the price down on one I am eyeing.

Tuner/CAI, off-road H/X pipe, & axleback to improve the sound. not much power to be gained with a new axleback set-up as the stock mufflers flow quite well.

read as many of the threads in the tech section as you can, and you will have a good idea of what works, sounds/looks the best, and is easiest to install for any mod you may consider doing!!

Thanks for all the feedback guys I really appreciate it.
As the numbers go I had an 06 v6 with some neg equity about 4-5K but I got approved for 0% financing and my payment increased 40 and included in the increase is gap insurance so I m better off now.

Congrats! A induction system like Demolete's "Tunable Induction" and a SCT tuner(sold as a package for around $575) will add about 20hp with a 87 octane tune and 25hp with a 93 octane tune. Add gears (I have 4.10s) for about 450-700 and you will have one fast car. Underdrive pulleys will give you another 8hp and a straight throug axle back will give you another 7-10hp (I've seen 2 Corsa dynos and they are in the 12hp range while Mustang and Fast Fords rated Borla stingers at around 10hp after some dyno tests. Corsa's are the most $, but I just saw them online with free shippping for $592. Others are around $400-500. Flowmaster and other "non striaght through" aren't gaining any power on the dyno, but improve sound. I'd throw a set of springs (about $450-500 installed) and maybe some aftermarket wheels. I decided to stick to 18s for both price and most importantly performance. The additional wieght of a 20 is like adding 200-300lbs to your car based on physics as the mass increases and moves farther from the center point of rotation.. Well, that's my 2 cents! Enjoy and have fun with your new baby

Congrats on your GT. I'm still awaiting delivery of mine.

In addition to the performance mods suggested previously, you might think about stripes and/or rear quarter window louvers. Many of the rear louvers, from what I read, stick on with 3M products and you can often find them pre-painted in factory colors.

Good luck and enjoy your GT!

I agree with all these other guys.. 4.10's and if you can get away with it a off road x, CAI, sct tuner ( you will need it for just about every mods) and a axle back

Congrats man!!! You'll love your new car.. I've had my '07 for about 2 weeks now and can't get enough of it!! I'll be reading this thread to get ideas of my own too ... Enjoy your car!!

Hey was it hard to get approved for the 0% 0 down? And lilflipa82 do you have good credit or really outstanding credit?

Mike97gt · Aug 27, 2006

the 0 percent for 72 months is so tempting.. Good thing the only GT we have left is a auto otherwise I don't think I could wait untill the spring like me and the wife decided to do..

lilflipa82 · Aug 28, 2006

Once again thanx for all the replys they are all so helpful.
Regarding the 0% interest my credit is pretty good around 690 but I did some research that ford is willing to give the 0% to those with less than stellar credit. Let me Know what happens.

Deric · Aug 29, 2006

660 here and I just bought a 06

with zero percent financing?

CBus 06 GT · Aug 30, 2006

Hey guys, I picked up mine last Friday with the 0/72 deal as well. My CS was 720, so I knew getting approved was a non issue. Had to pay sticker though. Last 5 speed on the lot and it was almost exactly how I would have ordered one so I don't feel too bad. It's only money, right?

kooldawg6 · Sep 2, 2006

I just picked up my '06 GT on Aug 29th. I also got the 0/72 and I have horrible credit!!!!! It is fully loaded except for the 18" tire/wheel package. Sold it to me for $500 below invoice AND required no money down OR trading in my old commuter car!!!!! So now I have the great mpg commuter car PLUS my fun to drive around toy for under $390/month!!!!! THANK YOU FORD!!!!!! Congrats to all you fellow Stangers who pick one up on the 0/72 deal as well.

They are financing all credit tiers, from what I've read. That would mean as long as you're not absorbing a ton of negative equity (like $5K or more) they'll finance sub-600 scores.

Hi all,...I picked up a 06 gt aswell.

I went down to the dealership to look at the Saleen S281SC but after sitting down and ironing out a deal and then drivinig it, I decided on a GT.

I ended up getting the "AD" car...which was a 06 Redfire red base GT 5 speed manual.

The only option was wheel locks so the MSRP was 25.9k.

The dealer was wheeling and dealing so i got $3500 off msrp and 0% for 72 months..with $2500 down, payments are 306...what sealed the deal was the fact that the car had never been driven and only had 7 miles on the odo.

I love the car and plan to do light mods and use it as a daily driver, I'll see you guys around

bigcat · Sep 4, 2006

nice payment!!! i wish the payment on my 05 GT was that low

6 year loan!
If it had 7 miles on it, it has been driven (testing and at the autoramp to get loaded for transit).

Just giving you a hard time.

Welcome!

Just got an 06 GT..
