Hey Everyone,

Rented a '05 Vert GT for the weekend, ran it about 1000km over the weekend. I have to say, the new 5spd automatic is damned fast. It almost makes me want to move from a standard (because of all of the city driving). I noticed though that if you were going to race it, you have to manually run it through the gears to get some reaction time out of it. I don't normally drive automatics so I can't say whether or not the delay between my foot and my head hitting the head rest is normal or not.

In anycase, my buddy has a '99 35th Special Edition, 4.10s, Flowmasters, High-Flow cats, CAI, Pullys ... some other stuff. convertible too. We raced it up and he just killed us off the line but once we were moving we started to pull on him. It was fun.

All and all it just affirms the fact that I want a 2006 for sure.

So for all you automatic fans out there, what do you think of yours vs. the standard?

Too much fun

I saw that speedometer and thought, 200 miles an hours, WHAT?!?! Then I realized it was in kilometers... Sweet ride, huh...

 

Where were you able to rent a Mustang GT?

 

yea, how could you rent a gt, and where do u live?

 

Vancouver, British Columbia. Hertz Rental. I called up my guy at the rental place and told him to get me a GT 05 Mustang, he pulled it from another lot and bam ... I was tanning my forehead all weekend.

I love my Auto GT. Torch Red, Red leather (both IUP's), bullitt rims - awesome

 

Cool, I'll be driving a redfire v6 vert around vancouver starting in september.

Let me know what ride you pick up and we can do some drivin

I don't know vancouver at all, but I'll be getting setup in Burnaby. Maybe you can show me a good, quiet road

 

I saw a V-6 convertible from Budget rent-a-car here in Victoria, but I have yet to see a GT vert. Way to go. Where did you get to 200? That is the fastest I have driven mine, sure got there quick too!

 

I can wait till I can rent cars

although there is a good reason they don't let 17 year olds drive rental cars.

 

Cool, a fellow Victorian

 

Highway #1 between 264th and Bradner road ... hit 240 on the coquihalla up to Kamloops

It's not exactly flattering to the Mustang brand that they are available for renting.

I mean...what's next? Mustang taxi cabs?

 

How is it not flattering? I could rent a Jaguar from Hertz if I wanted too. If anything renting the vert just showed me how much I want to get a vert instead of a hardtop..

:scratch:

 

what do you mean? haven't you always been able to rent mustangs from hertz?

 

I would be happy with any 05 in North Alabama, but I have yet too see any available...are they rentals if they have that lil side moulding? cuz if the r, I have seen a few
