Exactly.

I'm gonna order mine soon. I have waited long enough, and I'm gonna make it work. So there!

Thanks, Brian, for your little article. Just the impetus I need... well, that and a decent exterior color I can live with

Yeah, babies, Dark Candy Apple Red. Close enough to Emberglo that I won't pass it up (second favorite color behind my fav.)

Its probably a no-brainer he has at least one and HAS to have at least one GT500. the dude has everything. The Mustang GT he drove to the show when they first came out was torch red.

I was trying to be funny. Guess you didn't get it. But I know what you meant, and agree.

Well in the 'real world' outside the forums they are virtually trouble free. They are rarely in for anything other then oil changes. Half the tech's here have never done a repair on one. I was talking about strut mounts to our lead master tech and he was like 'dude, I've never had to work on one yet-just oil changes'. The lead tech asks me about stuff on mine every now and then(cause he knows I troll the forums and the official mustang squirrel at the dealer), 'this one guy is complaining about a squeaky shifter boot, ever heard of it?' 90% of repairs on mustangs were on the early shaker 500's, oh, and the e-brake cables sprinkled around.
