Well, this is my first post to this forum. I bought a V6 2005 (Legend Lime) in March after I fell in love with the new 2005 mustang styling.

Pretty soon afterwards I wanted to upgrade to a GT, so I started asking around and here in Seattle the prices and avaialbility of the GT's where insane. (The dealer I got my V6 from said they where out till December) THe other local dealers could get one with a 3 or so month wait but wanted 4000+ over list price (Yeah, and I am that insane!!!)

So I ended up ordering one from Idaho, and I picked it up this weekend.

A 2005 GT torch red with red leather interior and all the trimmings.

One thing that I noticed with the V6 is that people stared at it whereever I went. With the red one it is worse.

They either stare, or the red car acts as a flag for a bull and they loose their mind trying to race me or prove that their car is faster/better/nicer.

Has anybody seen that with their Mustang?

I mean I drove from Boise to Seattle yesterday, and sheesh there where many sad people racing their car and suddenly speeding up when I was close.


Hank.

Congrats on your purchase. I too have the Torch Red GT and never would have guessed the amount of attention I have been receiving. It never stops. I do love it though (The attention and the car).

Have fun with the car!

Oh yea, installing SLP Loudmouths adds even more fun to the mix!

Lynell, that's you getting the attention, not just your Mustang.

I have a Black GT Convertible and I get attention whenever I go out. Not many GTs let alone Convertibles in my area.

Exactly what Adrenalin said , don't let it get to your head though (not being negative), and enjoy the times!!!

Congrats: Enjoy the New Car, but try and find time to
post some pictures.

Mine seems to be attracting a lot of Tarted Up Cavaliers.
