Got my car on 4/13 but had a lonnggggggggg business trip last week. I finally got to take it on some twisties this weekend between the rain drops. It is as sweet as everyone has posted on here.
Thanks to all the people posting over the 4 months and getting me thru all the withdrawal of the wait. By the way, does everyone have problems with guys in Camaros wanting to race you?

Awesome car ya got there! Of course, I'm partial to Mineral Grey + Dark Charcoal. Regarding the race challenges, I actually haven't gotten any. I thought I'd have 350Z's, RX-8's, Camaros and all kinds of cars challenging me but, so far, nothing... Oh well, it's for the best really.
Again, nice ride

Thanks. Well it gets annoying to be truthful because I am not beating up on my car to prove any points. I gave a guy in a Camaro the "yawn" expression like you are boring me. I really think it pissed him off and he sped off.

Think of the Camero guys that want to race you as wildlife that has never seen a man. You know...not scared cause they have no concept what is about to happen....

I love just about every '05 I've seen that has a spoiler delete. I just think it looks so much more natural. Nice car!

Congrats on the MG GT! :banana2:

My wife's MG GT vert should be built on Wednesday according to the robot lady. Only a couple of weeks after that for arrival ... fingers crossed!

Whoa, Steve! Nice car!

Excellent choice on the spoiler delete. I've always maintained that the delete option made others aware that you special ordered your baby that way, making you a true enthusiast. Two thumbs way up!

Enjoy your ride and drive responsibly. :rock: :banana2: :drive:

Congrats!

Another advantage to the spoiler delete option is that it makes washing a bit easier.

The '05 spoiler traps water where it is attached to the trunk, just like the SN95 spoilers, but the '05 spoiler also has cavities underneath it that are pretty much impossible to dry, so you also have that water dripping onto your rear end when you drive away after washing. It's definitely annoying...

Great car, congrats, and I'm on the list of spoiler deletes!

Chris (Celtic Club), I agree that for us that know about the '05, the spoiler delete indicates that you special ordered and that you spend hours determining which looks better : ). But, most of the general public doesn't know that it comes with the spoiler standard - heck, I don't even think my sales guy knew that

Thanks Chris. Can't wait for you to get yours. Honestly I think the spoiler looks good on a few colors. More or less the sportier colors but the Mustangs look good no matter what. Also I got the spoiler delete so the car looks less sporty and is a sleeper. I had one kid in the neighborhood asked if I put the GT logos on the car since "GT's ONLY HAD SPOILERS!"
