By then they can take my new hydrogen powered flying Mustang.

Looks like you didn't need a mistress brother! Sick GT though, I really am going to have to do a blindfold choice between Black and Sterling. You have the package I originally wanted though, sooooooooooooo good looking! Great job on the detail work, looks incredible!

Well, I only have 150 miles on her......but so far only the heavily tuned Evo compares for sheer straightline thrust. The Evo's torque came on violently.

I much prefer the linear pull of NA engines.....the coyote is everything from docile around town (just took the girls out to eat in ann Arbor), to incredibly/neverendingly eager to pull and pull and pull up top.......friggen' perfect

As far as handling, it is firm yet comfortable around town.....I have yet to start testing the limits. I hope to have her on a road course within a couple months-I'm salivating at the thought of it........................

First mod completed-subtle but effective 50% tint (hard to see in pics):





I'm thinkin' a good dyno tune should be next.

From my reading this forum, it sounds like Livernois Motorsports is the way to go.......................

I got it at Pat Milliken. Easiest car purchase ever. X-plan, $750 rebate, and then-on his own!-my salesperson (Keith Kelley) found me the extra $500 off. I feel I got a great car (premium,brembos,comfort,security,401a) at an incredible value!

Great experience

I think I'd buy any GT with a glass roof off the lot now. I don't care about color or rear cam. I just WANT.

But I can't find a single dealer with a glass roof in the area.

Heard lots of good things from several of my friends who have bought at Pat Milliken. A good friend has a Race Red Pony Pkg. V6 on the way, which should be there next week. Glad you're enjoying it.

You're probably only 2-3 weeks away from taking delivery of the car you ordered. You may as well stick it out.
