For those who had the 05 GT this past winter, what was it like?

How was the car on snowy roads?

I will be getting the auto, i know that helps a little, but what do you guys think

I live in the NY tri-state area, so i do get the occasional 10 inch snow storms

all input would be greatly appreciated

I was wondering about this too, but more specifically how the roadsalt effects the alum. tires. I was thinking about ordering the 18' bullits but have never had good solid wheels (just steel junkers with hubcaps) Will the salt screw up the finish on the polished portion of the wheel?

where in NY are you? I DO NOT reccommend driving a 05 GT in NY at all in the winter. The 05 is the best of all the mustangs in the snow, but it still is a rwd car and rwd cars dont do well in snow at all.

car is fine in the winter, especially if you put snow tires on it. I drove mine last winter. Now, I'll try to find those posts for you.
