I've test driven it and my GT Vert will be ready for me on saturday but I was so damn excited about just driving her and the shaker 1000, and the 5 speed, and the top, and the gas pedal, and the gas, and flooring it ... ah, well, you get what my meaning is. Anyway besides AC, like what does it have? So is cruise control and that gas milage thing standard? Does it have some kind of key fob to get in the trunk and open the doors? Does it have an external temp gage, etc? I don't think that the vehicle had either interior upgrade package, there was no MyColor, and the seats were solid leather.

Really though, I could care less about most creature features, cause this is one beauty of a car.

I should change this to say, does the Mustang come with an external temp gage and fuel mileage counter (how far you can go on what gas you have left or how many mpg you are getting ).

There is a thing called a Message Center which will show your MPG, DTE (Distance till empty) and a few other things (doesn't include ext temp), but that is part of the Interior Upgrade package (IUP).
If you don't have that, then you might be out of luck.

IMO the My Color is a girl's toy. If it has the V-8, a/c, and a 5-speed you're all set.

If it's a vert you should know the external temp because you should always drive w/ the top down. I actually find myself turning off the stereo to listen to the sounds of the engine going thru the gears.

That's true, so true. I did some looking into the car and saw some of the known problems listed. When I found the car I wanted (it was the last one in the New England area, I called over 50 dealerships) I figured I gotta buy it, or wait for an 06. I didn't get to pick any of the options, but it was Torch Red, GT, 5 spd, and polished wheels. The sales guy kept telling me about the shaker 1000, I kept turning it off and reving the engine lol. He asked me if I was gonna buy it and I said yes for sure, so he gave me the keys and said to be back in an hour he was going to lunch. I drove her for an hour with the radio off lol. I checked on the struts, gas, played a CD (lastly lol), ran her up to 90mph to check for hood flex, etc. I really did forget to look at anything else like cruise, buttons, etc.
