Cool Anyone here own more than 1 S197?

Just curious if any of you out there loved your S197 so much you bought another one or your spouse bought one.

I've been tackling with the idea, but I'm not sure. It's either pay the current one off wait a couple years and get a GT big brother, or keep saving like hell for a Vette or Viper. Decision, Decisions!

Yes, Bought a Black 2005 Mustang GT for myself back in Feb. 05, and later (Aug. 06) bought a Torch Red 2006 Mustang V6 Pony Package for the wife. I paid MSRP for mine, but when we bought the wife's, we got it for well below invoice, plus 0% financing for 72 months. Both are great cars! ..making payments on both!

Here too. Bought an 05 Mineral Grey V-6 5spd. Loved the pallet so much, I turned quickly back into a mod junkie. But, just had some small issues with it that I could not get over personally. Soooooooo, enter my current ride: 07 Redfire GT 5spd. and now thanks to this site, my mod bills are bigger than my payments, and I'm a loving every second of it.

I had an '05 GT coupe in Torch red with auto trans, was a very early production car that had just about every common problem go wrong on it. I traded it in about 6 weeks ago on an '06 Satin Silver with low mileage that is a stick-shift. I love it. The stick is way more fun!

Well I owned my 05, chinced out a little, then switched cars, then bought my 06 totally loaded except 1000 shaker, loved em both, I am keeping this one, and saving up for the new camaro if it comes out looking like the concept it will look sweet, need to start my collection of awesome muscle cars. I no its not a ford, but **** it looks hot, and most the lines are from the mustang<LOL.

Yup, we just bought our second S197. Once you get done modding one, then you want a clean slate to go a different route.

It's like chocolate [ 2- S197s]..... My 05 Roush 5-Speed to daily drive and helps keep me out og the 6-speed GT500. That is for the Show and weekend fun. Yes, until they can top the S197, I am happy with my choice since the Roush is great for street show and shop demonstrator for my sales;- and it keeps the motorhead in me in check also. Besides, the V8 is not that hard on gas when it is a manual. Now the GT500, when I lay into the gas, can see the gashand moving straight away!
