Hi folks,
I've mostly been lurking here and have always enjoyed the entertainment and information. Now I feel like I can fully join the fun because earlier tonight I traded in my 94 GT on an 05 GT! I just could not pass up the deal, winter in Ottawa and a slumping economy equals a great time to buy a V-8 pony car!
I don't have her home yet but here are some details:
2005 Mustang GT, manual, satin silver w/black leather, IUP, shaker 500, 70,000kms (44K miles)
originally delivered June 20, 2005 (17 months of powertrain warranty remaining)
Flowmaster axleback exhaust, 4.10 gear, tint, blue stripes
Somewhat hesitant to buy a car with mods but independant folks at the dealer tell me that a 50 year old single guy owned it. He traded it in on a new Ranger but regreted the decision. After putting only 3800 kms on the truck, he traded that in on an 09 GT500. I wonder if he's been around here before?
I tend to like subtle looks so I was unsure about the stripes but they've really grown on me. The side scoops will probably be gone soon (I'm told they're not drilled) It sucks that the front bumper is drilled but front plates (tags) are mandatory in Ontario so I'll live with it and give the cops one less reason to pull me over!
Oddly enough, I've never driven an S-197 with stock gears so I don't have a basis on which to gauge the 4.10's...but man, this thing outpulls my stock 5.0 like...well, I'm sure you all know!!
