Broke down and put a car on order!

Well everyone its time! I have gone and done it, I went and ordered a GT! I have driven my current Mustang (IMO the best of the 5 I've had) for 2 years. I was at a cross roads and was either going to S/C the pony or get a new car with a longer warrenty. I opted for the new longer warrenty. This is a hard choice, I love the Pony and didn't really wanna give it up but the option of ordering a new car that I want and getting the big V8 sound was just to tempting. I only hope I don't grow to regret this down the line. Payments went up about $75 but insurance isn't going to be bad only about $9 buck a month. I am set to recieve it around christmas......santa is going to be good to me this year....
Specifics:
White, Black and dove interior (a la CS type) 5 speed, 3.55's, heated seats (wife made me do it) Satin IUP...wish me luck!

I love the Dove PTP, but it's not the same as the CS interior.

The PTP has the wrapped dash, armrests, and console lid. It DOES NOT have the inserts in the seats like the CS does. It has the inserts in the door panels, but the seats will be all black.

I ordered mine 8/22, and it still hasn't been built. Here's hoping you see yours by xmas.

Congrats on the new GT. You'll love it.

Right on Ron

Beware of factory holiday shutdowns though! You MAY be waiting until after the 1st of the year to get it.

Back when these first came out, mine was built on the day before thanksgiving and didn't arrive until the 12th of Janurary. The biggest thing that goofed up my delivery was being the first into an empty holding lot... hence I was the last out, but the 2 week holiday shutdown in Dec didn't help either.
