Falchion

I only got to drive the Mustang for a short ways on the Highway, in stop and go traffic! It handles quite well, and handles the bumps too.

I did feel that the car could use some more power, and that maybe the suspension is made for the extra weight of the GT. So, I'm going to hold out for the GT.

There was a lot of people looking at the Mustang as I was driving it along on the test drive. I think a couple even follows the Sales lady and myself and took pics.

One other thing that I rembered from the test drive was the excellant visiability out of the Mustang especially out the front and over the hood. The rear and side visiability was good too. That's something I really like in a car. I didn't go for a test drive in a Mazda RX8 because it has a huge blind spot to the rear and sides. Didn't like it........

Glad you guys liked my pics, especially the spare tire!

I'll have some more when I test drive a GT........

Falchion, nice stuff.

I saw a Legend Lime GT with Bullits and IUP behind the showroom building. It was already sold as a pre-order, so I couldn't get in it.

I dealt with Reid Harmon with Internet Sales there at Five Star. VERY friendly and is willing to do X-Plan as soon as they get more 'stangs on the lot. I'm gonna probably order mine, so it doesn't matter, but if you like on on the lot, there ya go.

Yeah Reid was the Sales guy I talked to also. I took the test drive with his wife who works there also. I already got it confirmed with Reid that they'll do the X plan, so that's cool. Thanks for the tip though!

I would have liked to see that lime green GT, I'm going to test drive a GT when they get enough of them in.

I'll probably order also, after I get a test drive in a GT.......

GhostTX

Reid said he'd call me as soon as they have a GT that people can take for a spin. And his wife was really friendly too. He told me the story how she start selling cars.

I'll probably wait til Spring to order...it'll probably be torture after I drive one (a GT) to wait that long.

You didn't go for a test drive but you know off-hand it has these huge blindspots? :scratch:

My friend actually has one and I've driven it plenty of times with no notice of any huge blind spots. The car is actually a lot of fun to drive. It's rotary engine has a lot of get up and go at 240ish HP. The handling is great too. Definitely give test driving it another thought, you'll be surprised. IMO

Falchion

Well I did sit in the RX8, and it seemed it was hard to see out the rear and to the sides, maybe I should have test driven it after all, but at the time I didn't like it too well.

And GhostTX; Reid said he'd call me to test drive the GT as well. I was also thinking about waiting untill spring to get one, but that depends on how well I like it........

The rubber ribbed stuff is actually troweled-on sound deadening compound. It works the same as dynamat.
