Thanks for the info, will do! WOOT!!

 

We may pay personal property tax here in northern VA but we also only pay 3% for sales tax on cars. One way or another, the gummint is going to get your money. Tag fees are pretty low here compared with other states too.

 

My 2008 G8 GT was $429 for the year, 2010 GT500 was $800. I love California.

 

bahahahahaha!!! Sad, but true.

Its like trying to fill a bucket with water that has a hole in it. Their solution is to throw in more water instead of patching the hole first

 

Hey Gene, why didn't you go with the 3.73s or Brembos?

 

Too bad we couldn't do a group buy directly from Ford.

 

Mine was $1000 off of a 2010. If this works on a 2011... My plans have seriously changed!

EDIT: I planned on ordering my car. What happens if it arrives after the 60 days is up?

 

500 under invoice for my 2011 V6. Tags/title was only 80 bucks and processing was only 90. Tax only 3%, bought from a Maryland dealer.

 

Mine says $750 Available on a new 2010/2011 Ford Lincoln, or Mercury vehicle. Not available on 2010/2011 hybrids, Fiesta S, Raptor, Shelby GT500. May not combine with farther private offers. It came in a 2010 Mustang Brochure I ordered on 4-11 and received on 4-23.

Rebate has been Smart Vincent confirmed on my 2011 Mustang using the Customer ID Code (On Rebate coupion) and the VIN of my Mustang.

Program Number is #3342. Call your dealer and give hime the program number and customer ID code on the coupon and have hime run it with your VIN. Then you will know if your Rebate Coupon will work. If not order a 2010 Mustang Brochure (2011 are running behind due to demand) under another name in your household or if you live alone your middle name (Ford only sends one Rebate Coupon to customer and its only transferable within the household). Chose 0-30 days for buying time. Evidently you got a coupon just before the change over. Mine is good from 4/20-6/19.

 

Your screwed.

 

I am happy, I ordered from Jeff (05fordgt). My deal is $300 over invoice. Hopefully they will still be offering the $500 rebate (or more) when my car comes in.

 

yups $500 above invoice, so $34,113 or so...I just hate sales tax...oh well

 

I paid $34,815.00 for a premium GT with Hid's, comfort pkg., auto, and 19" wheels. I already have paid $500.00 down, so I owe $34,315.00, minus my down payment of $15,000. Taxes here in Georgia will run me another $2400.00.

 

You guys are making me laugh so hard. Stop whining for nothing about taxes, you know that on EVERYTHING we buy over here and also the rest of Canada for that matter is 5% Federal tax, and then on top of it all, another 7.5 % . How's that for taxation. Can anyone beat that ?

 

I have to pay 9% in taxes on my Taco at Taco Bell. . . how much of an insult is THAT?!?!? That's like adding insult to gastrointestinal injury.

 

I think i got a good deal. They gave me 500 dollars more (Kelly's) for my trade-in, plus i got the X-Plan that saved me over 2,100 dollars.

I was more worried, hearing about some kind of 5,000 dollar or more dealer add on because of the 2011 Mustang being a high demand car, while i was ordering it. Like Chrysler did to the the Challenger SRT8's when they first hit the show rooms. My local Dodge dealer added 15,000 dollars to the window sticker for the first 6 or so months when they started selling them. Then started selling them at more realistic prices after the excitement wore off some.

 

Disclaimer: The following is my reasoning. I dont expect everyone to agree.

To me the real question is why I didnt leave the standard 3.31 I had on the order originally.

Gears:
1. 3.73 gets into the Soft Limiter at 109 mph and the hard limiter at 111.5 mph which means you are either going to be hard into the limiter in 4th or in the bottom of 5th anytime you exceed 110 mph trap speed.
2. I honestly believe the car will see 115 mph traps (117 mph at finish line) in really good air ie well below sea level in density altitude. That equates to 6990 rpm in 4th with 3.55. Ive seen nearly 108 mph with just CAI/Tune on a 2007.
3. With some minor bolt-ons the car might see 118 mph traps (120 mph finish). Thats 7170 rpm with 3.55 and 7533 rpnm with 3.73. Im not sure I wanted to twist it that high with 3.73.
4. With the 8.3% lower 1st gear 3.73 is like having 4.04 in the previous cars. In my experience anything over 3.73 on factory Pirellis didnt accomplish anything.
5. With 22% more torque its going to need less launch ratio if anything.
6. My old car spun with the 2.00 2nd when I had 4.10 Rears (2.00 x 4.10 = 8.2) on the street. With a 2.43 2nd even the standard 3.31 (2.43 x 3.31 = 8.04) its going to be a bear to hook on anything less than 3rd on the street with 22% more torque.

Brakes:
I decided the 2010 Track Pack Brakes (Standard 2011) were enough for me. I just couldnt justify the Shelby Brembos for my use. Besides I didnt want Summer Rubber for a daily driver (Cold Winter Weather) or 19" Wheels.

Again my reasoning. Im sure their are many who disagree.

 

$30,685 for my 2011 GT Coupe with just the Brembo Package and 3.73's! I'm putting $5000 down!

 

Not the same brakes.

 

Edited to correct the error. The 2010 Track Pack and 2011 GT Standard Brakes are the same other than pad material correct?
