Mustang n00b with new GHIG GT

Anyway, after this happened about a month and a half ago, I test drove a new GT. Liked it so much I ordered one and picked her up Friday! Some pics:







After seven years of sliding around a flat C5 seat (class rules didn't allow seat changes) on the street, at the track and on the autocross course, something with bolsters!


Picked up some dirt on the ride home:






And in case anyone was wondering what I plan to do with the car, here's her set of dancing shoes


First event is a http://www.sasca.org autocross next Sunday, can't wait!

Welcome from a fellow Texan. Nice to see someone come from a C5 Z06 to a 5.0.

Mac Haik Houston or Georgetown?

Also I'd have made them take that **** dealer sticker off if you didn't already do it.

Mac Haik Georgetown. Don't worry, the moment I pulled into the garage my wife peeled the sticker off. Ordered 9/24, it got here quick!

Will do! I'm a contributing blogger at http://www.racingready.com and plan to post up an event report, as well as some in-car vids.

Love the GHIG, love how it looks different from almost every angle and also depending on how the light hits it. SoFlaBoss and jaxx you're gonna love yours when you get it, the color really pops. Even my wife loves the color, and she had a bad experience with a Mustang a long time ago and was leery about me buying another Ford (for the record, it was a 2.3 Fox). But what can I say, this car rocks!
