Hey Jaime, tell me, pictures don't do this car justice, right? It looks so much better in person. I work at Yocum Ford in Lansdale, Pa, and we have had ours for over 3 weeks or so. I am in love with this thing. It is IMO, the best looking exotic car out there.

The best part, I really like talking to people about the car. If I can tell the person or persons looking at it are "car people", I'll go and get the key, and open the doors, rear engine cover, and front hatch, to give them the whole tour. Did you get a chance to drive it? If you can, jump at it, you won't be sorry. I enjoyed my time behind the wheel of ours, albeit for only 20 minutes or so. This is the fastest car I have been in, and I rode in a Lamborghini Murcielago around Pocono Speedway last June, and the driver hit 170 on the front straight. I thought that was fast, this car is faster.

When it comes to specialty cars like this, we dont allow test drives. This one is actually sold and since it is sold, no one has driven it other than when it was unloaded and backed into the showroom. it has 2.9 miles on it.

I have looked this car over and there are no words to describe its beauty. the lines of the car just make you want to stare at it and daydream of driving it.

the only thing about it that i dont like is the appearance of the macintosh stereo. It looks like and 8 track. Its strange that such a beautiful car has such a bland looking stereo in it.

I will get the opportunity to ride in one. The next one coming isnt sold yet, so the GSM and I will probably take it for a very subdued ride through the parking lot of the dealership. Ill leave it to the owners to see how they handle. I could never take the chance of damaging a car like this.

Hey Jaime, I totally agree with you in regards to the radio. I HATE IT. The controls are way too small,, and you can't see the buttons too well. Personally, all the times I've been in ours with the owner of the dealership driving, we never have it on. The car makes it own music, if you know what I mean.

Your right about being worried about damaging the car. I was a little nervous when I got behind the wheel, but it went away rather quick when I realized how easy the car is, and how tractable it is around town. It takes no effort to drive it, and it is not tempremental at all. Have fun with the one that is coming in next.

we have atleast one more GT coming. its being ordered soon and will be either red or silver, if i remember correctly. Im not sure what we will get for 06, but im sure it will be related to Presidential award status for atleast one.
The owner had a transport come get his finally. It looked great as it was loaded onto a transport and supposedly is going out of the country. the owner also decided a gt mustang would be fun too, so he has one coming in the next few days.
