It suited my driving style perfectly, and so much I wanted to do but it cost so much at the same time.
Isn't that the truth, it's awesome how fast the engine winds up once you get it going. The other thing about that is when you aren't driving aggressive it's a fairly docile car that can get decent mileage.

I want a white one. My family has owned white Fords for 3 generations. Black is a pretty color when clean... I might have found one, but we'll see if the deal ends up working out.

When I first started looking for one, I was wanting a white one as well. But it was early '08 and the only white ones left were at places that still wanted msrp (or more) and by then I had fallen for the vista blue and could buy it cheaper and it was a year newer.

Oddly enough, I never cared for the black SGT with the black wheels, but now I've ended up buying a black car with dark wheels to replace the SGT.

I saw a brand new white '07 on ebay the other day in Nebraska. I guess the dealer just wasn't going to let go of that notion that it deserved an ADM and got stuck with it.

Edit: Here it is

Haha, I was wondering why I hadn't seen that one before. My Dad and I have been searching ebay/autotrader/cars.com quite frequently but I never saw that one because it wasn't even in the price range we were looking at.

I love the VB SGT's, just a little too dark a color for me. The convertibles are stunning, but they've held their value quite well.

One of hte things I loved about it. With 4.10 gears, and a bamachips agressive tune, my 96 got drove daily 90 miles round trip. half freeway half 2lane country roads. I averaged about 22mpg at a dynoed 320rwhp. On longer road trips, the car saw upwards of 27mpg... it was great.

Wow, thats really good! The best I've seen with 3.73's was 24.9... granted that was 80-85 mph for a good 2.5-3 hours.
