Yesterday while I was out doing last minute Christmas shopping (go figure ) I finally saw one besides mine. It wasn't a GT, but it was an 05. Car was Sonic Blue. The lady driving it and I chased each other around for several city blocks before she turned off towards wherever. Was nice to finally see another one.

I'm still getting the insane attention. I went to McDonalds after I got done shopping, and this particular one was actually using both of the windows. I stopped and paid at the first window, and by the time I got my change back into the wallet, I looked up to see basically the entire crew of that shift hanging out the second window for a look at the car.

Here is Austin I've seen 2 on the road; 1 Torch Red V6 & 1 Redfire GT. The dealerships have nothing but V6s, and only a few at that.

Even on the trip from Austin to Houston on Xmas eve morning.....nothin'!

To date, I've seen one silver V6, and one each of a silver, yellow, redfire and black GT on the roads of Richmond. If you think these cars look good standing still, they are totally smokin' in motion!

It's a treat to see them out there...

I've driven from Groton CT to New York city and to Buffalo, New York. So far the only other mustangs I've seen (besides my own) was both v6 and v8 version of the Mineral Grey, a legend lime green GT, and a sonic blue v6. I've heard rumors of other 05's in the area but I haven't seen them yet. I know there is a white v6 sitting at the dealership I ordered mine through. It's pretty funny when you pull into a dealership you didn't get the car from, and all the dealers are coming over to look over the car. I did that at another Ford dealer that refused to sell below MSRP a few days after I got mine. It was great, kinda showing them that people do sell cars below MSRP... stupid dealers. Anyhow, it was the first that they'd seen and they had told me that there would have been 2 orders ahead of mine for the 05 Mustang GT. Guess shopping around did payoff.

Indeedy. Absolutely nothing wrong by voting with your paycheck and swinging by mr greedy saleman afterward to show off your new ride (and his/her lack of sale) off.

Around Atlanta I've only seen 6 besides mine. 1 silver GT and a silver V6 before I got mine, a torch V6 a week after I got mine, a white GT on the way to Chattanooga, and a torch GT and silver V6 right before Christmas. I expected to see many more by now

I was driving from Virginia Beach to Pittsburgh. I saw a white V6 in Hampton. I sped up to catch up to her. When I did I honked the horn. She did not even flinch. She just stared straight ahead. So I passed her.

I saw a Sonic Blue in Winchester. Driving towards me. Just got a glimpse, not sure if it was a GT or V6.

I saw a Silver V6 at McDonalds in a small town in North-Western VA. I walked over to talk to him and he was not very personable. He also had a dent on his back corner bumper. He was washing his windshield, and muttered a few words without stopping. So I just left in my 05.

We are infested with them.......

Three in my town- Mine, Don's and the elusive Silver v6 I am trying to chase down to ask about the stripes, I do know the owner is female because I have seen it twice, once Pre Eleanor, and once Sunday.
Next town up: there is a Yellow Gt and WB v6.

I have seen Don's GT gassing up once, the silver v6 at Mcdonalds and Movie Gallery......but none on the road I can play with. The WB works at the Chevron across from where I got mine, and my husband saw the yellow gt 3 exits up parked at an apartment complex(I had previously seen it at my favorite mexican eatery). Oh and Eleanor lives in my garage, well hidden from the public when I am home.
