Hi everyone!
I'm new here from Montreal, Canada. I've ordered an 05 GT which should arrive in April with these options: Sonic blue, 5 speed, tan leather, IUP, active theft syst., upgrade wheels.

I've been lots of forums lately and saw many guys having problems with the man. tranny and radios... Need some info please. I'm beginning to wonder if I should cancel and wait for the 06.

By the way, I also need some advice as to what color of stripes I should get.

Thanx guys.

Looks like you might have found lots of info already.

I have had mine since Mid-Nov. No transmission problems at all. The shaker has some minor skipping issues. Not enough to bother me though.

As far as waiting for the 06 model, all cars of every year have problems. I have never heard of a car that was produced and went a full year and said; there are no problems. If you wait till 06, then there will be a different problem with the car.
