Congratulations! I read in the owners manual that the seat belt goes through the loop on the side of the seat and when you remove the belt it attatches to the side of the seat by magnet.
No loop on side of seat for me...I have side airbags. Maybe that's why there is no loop!

So I don't like one thing so far.... I have to reach like 2 feet back to get the seat belt!! what the heck.
Congrats:

Man i cant believe ya just walked in and scored a GT at that...your one lucky guy...id sleep overnight at dealership just to see one let alone have a chance at buying one!

You say seatbelt if way back to reach...may i ask how tall you are? and did you have seat all the way back? (Im just over 6' and find in most cars i have seats as far back as i can get them) [/b][/quote]
I'm 6 foot. Since the seat is so conforming, your not as free to rotate left and right. Plus, I may not have the loop that holds the seatbelt on the top of the seat because I have side seat airbags.

Most excellent!

I have a critical question: Are the accessory outlets switched or are they on all the time? Tell me they're switched. Please.

~~ Paul
I don't really understand this question.

Well if you see some dude standing in front of your car, unblinking and in a trance, it may be me. I'll be looking out for a Black Mustang GT in the springs from now on.

Soon i will get mine....just not soon enough.

Does the rear windshied have the dot matrix like the 99-2004 have?
I can answer that, Brad actually confirmed that the rear window does have the same "dot-matrix" as previous models. Same as the side windows

I hate it too :angry: [/b][/quote]
I thought I had seen a picture here of the back windshield, and it didn't have it. :angry: why is Ford doing that. I hate the way it looks. I have an 02 gt have the metalfilm tint and it looks awful on the top :angry: is there a way to fix that??

There 2 GT's at Phil Long Ford in Littleton, CO right now. I get the feeling that the redfire is spoken for, but the Mineral Grey one is still up for grabs. Someone come get it!
