Royal Oak ford in Royal Oak michigan has a used legend lime on their lot. Its a GT with the side airbags, interior upgrade, and wheel locking kit. The interior is the tan leather, and it is dirty. The car has 10K miles on it, and they are asking $3K over sticker.

Anyways, I took it for a test drive. I had been looking for a stick to try out. Everyone has the auto. Who seriously wants an auto in a GT?!?

Anyways, it drove great. I was impressed, and now I am even more antzy to get my 06. I wish they could step up production

Good thing you are not thinking of buying something like that at that price. So, sad. :scratch: With less then 450 miles and way cleaner that new delivery would ever be. I'll take 5K over MSRP.

i got a manual in my GT but i dont think we gotta knock people with auto's.....its about personal preference. plus ur the one driving the car. if i got auto in my 05 i could really care less what someone says because look at the car.....look what we get for just about $27,000. as much as i love my manual i dont wanna hear about anyone knocking anyone else with automatic. the new autos r 5 speed and from the experiences ive heard from auto owners, theyve come a long way with the new 5 speed autos

I got the auto, because i'm lazy, it shifts fast enough for me, besides when i'm not in lazy mode, i put her in 1st, burn rubber until 6000rpm, then second until 6000rpm, then 3rd. That usually puts a smile on my face, but then again, once i see that steering wheel, and that iup, that puts a smile on my face too.

I do...and I believe all other people like me that have driven cars with stick for years and years (20 in my case) and can seriously enjoy driving a Mustang GT with an auto without fearing any damage to their manhood...
Grow up...

I love my auto......I live in a relatively small town.......and only 5 miles from work.
Hubby loves it, too. We've both driven straight shifts for years. Prefer the auto now.
