Well, please remember there has been 5-6 years of inflation since the Terminators were new.

The dealership I work for has a brand new 2010 Mustang GT with the 3.73 axle package on sale for $28,151 (MSRP is $29,340) - and that's without any kind of Ford rebates. Once Ford starts offering rebates (after most of the new 2008-9's are sold out), then you'll find base GT's in the mid $20's regularly.

I'm waiting for the 2011 with the EcoBoost to go for low 20's new and mid-teens lightly used.

How did you adjust for the Spedometer being off with a different rear end ratio? The dealer said they can't change any adjustments to the computer. Help

Like the person stated before, you grab an aftermarket tuner and you'll be looking to change the revs per mile figure.

My concern with making the Mustang too upscale is what is happening with the Dodge Challenger and possibly the new Camaro. Sales on the Challenger are awful. $40K for a Dodge Challenger R/T with a manual. No thanks! I am happy to hear you can get a 10 Mustang GT manual for under $30K. Like you said once the hype of the new model cools off you should be able to find deals for mid $20K range in 6 months.

How do you like 2010 compared to the older body style?

2010's are nice, but my Dad has a GT500 and I gotta say, there is no way I could trade that for a 2010 GT. Nice car regardless.

I too would have found a way to bolt up an automatic to the GT500. Does the 5R55s bolt in (provided its beefed up)? Or does one have to get a 4R70 (?) the one thats on the SN95? This is something I've always wondered about.

I'd start with a different dealer.

How would a different dealer help him.. They told him the truth IDS has a menu under programmable parameters for axle ratio but it's locked we can't change it.

It's possible that engineering could unlock that but I do not know and even if so they wont let us do it.

The only option is in the aftermarket.. ( tuner)
