05 gt 5speed manual, black on black, iup, shaker 500, side air bags, anti-theft, bullits. I asked about hold ups. I was told there is an issue about getting the side air bags with the iup. SAlesman did not sound too informed. But I will wait. I just hope it is here by april. I got a priority of 40. Is that really bad? Like I said I just want it here by spring. thanks everyone for all the info here, it's great, Troy

Excellent choice, I ordered the exact same car yesterday. There are a number of people ahead of me so I probably won't be getting it until May. I'd be thrilled if it turned out to be April.

As far as when you'll get yours, it all depends on how many orders are ahead of you, what the dealer's allocation is and whether or not others will be getting priorities lower than yours in the future.

Good luck!

Black on black… What a crime! Just kidding, great choice it was a toss up between the redfire and black but I'm happy with my choice and I'm sure you are too.

Congrats. I ordered mine 2 weeks ago with a Priority 10. 40! Not good, did you ask why a 40? What did you pay? I got the exact car but in Sonic Blue for $25,208.23 with X-Plan.

Congrats, now the waiting begins Get that priority changed though, with a 40 you may be waiting quite some time for your car to get allocated. 10 is the best, but anything up to 20 should be fine.

The day I went to order I test drove a Redfire auto GT and I knew I made the right choice. But, I could have just as easily gone with the black as it's very nice.

I ordered my gt at end of Oct but with 1000 shaker. Dealer says it is being built 1/17 - can I believe him? Does he really know? I have a VIN so that is good right?


Refresh my memory, what is iup?

Nice choice! That's almost exactly what I want.

Should go really well with your fastbacks.

I'm going back to the dealer tomorrow, at lunch time. I work about a mile from them. Is it, or should it be hard to get my priority # changed? It is 40 right now...

Congrats Troy. Good choice. Looks like Great Minds think alike...

I ordered the same exact one on Jan 3rd. Got a priority 10. Hope it arrives by end of March... Keeping my fingers crossed.
