So Much Complaining
 

I'm sorry mods, for the hard work that you do and isn't appreciated. After following a thread complaining that there was no California Special section, I am shocked that has been up for days now and no topics! At any given time there are 35-70 people looking at the Boss thread, and for good reason too! What? Where are all the loyal GT/CS owners? Come guys, you are better than this :poke:

this has been brought up over the years a few times. I think it all came down to a CS being a GT with options. It would be like having a sub forum for glass roofs or heated seats or the GT trim packages.

See I told you so


There


I said it

Hey! Why isn't there a sub forum for glass roof mustangs?!!

Where the hell is Scott? This has got to be fixed!

I consider the California Special to be the longest running special editon Mustang. I would like to see it replaced with a Boss Mustang special editon.

In the process of trading my BMW 535i for a new GT/CS. I'll be here more often soon :)

Longest running special edition Mustang? Allow me to compare a few for you....

California Special: 1968, 2007-09, and 2011-14. That's 8 model years.

GT500: 1967-70, and 2007-14. That's 12 model years.

Mach 1: 1969-1978, and 2003-04. That's 12 model years.

Why isn't there a subforum for people that wanted a GT/CS but thought the color palete sucked, so they bought a GT in the color they wanted and then added all the GT/CS bits, then also added lemans stripes? sheesh, help a girl out.

:-)

:lol:

That doesn't seem specific enough

:banana:I just found it and got my pics in. Hurray for the almighty GTCS.

Hi, Brad. Glad to see you posting here! Thanks for buying your GT/CS from us at Bowen Scarff!!! Your GT/CS is coming along great with all the mods you've done.

Your car is the reason I started looking at the Gt/CS seriously. :nice:

Yeah. If he can hold on to it for a couple more years I want to buy it haha

WOOT! A GT/CS subforum! To all those people saying the CS is not a special edition... stop it! It is. lol

Like it or not the GT/CS been a special edition since 68. It is a part of the mustang heritage. Just because it was available as a package option in recent years doesn't negate the fact. It has always been an appearance package, and the nod to the 68 is part of the reason i chose the model. Plus you can add all the parts you want, it doesn't make it a true GT/CS any more than putting a GT500 kit on my car makes it a GT500.

I for one am glad to see the new section of the forum. GTCS'ers unite!

I cannot believe there is so much hate for this model from within the Mustang community! Yeah it's just body parts and some cool bits inside but I still enjoy mine. I enjoy being one of the only ones in my area with this model and color. Although that puts me at an disadvantage when it comes to the law!

I think it's funny at car events I get "oh it's just a CS" from other Mustang enthusiast.

no its not... its a factory option! I guess anything you can order is a special edition. the V6 PP is more different then a normal v6 then a CS is to a GT.

A club america car is also a factory option.


a GT500 is a GT500 because its numbers and has a different motor and a few other factors.

I do not think they are trying to ding you.

I'm well aware of what a GT500 is. How bout you re read my post and try again. Unless you have a Delorian in your garage too, you can't go back in time and not make it a special edition.

My question is why even post on this thread? Your not changing anyone's mind....and your responses show you didn't take the time to read the other posts...

The Bullitt was also a package option, but no one seems to take issue with calling it a special edition... or having a special section for it :dunno: I'm not hating on the Bullitt btw. I had one that was sacrificed to the divorce gods. It was a package option that was well worth the money... as is the GT/CS.

I always liked the GT/CS, If I were to buy a new GT on the lot , the GT/CS would be my choice everytime over the GT premium.

Prob because it was promoted as a limited production of 7000 units (7700 incl Canada). Initially planned for only 1 year but thanx to our Saudi friends and their $4 gas in 2008, the run spilled into 09 for a total of 6500ish units.

Whereas the CS is still available after several years now correct? And it isn't issued a production number right?

What about a sub-forum for peeps who wanted a BOSS vert but had to settle for a stinking GT500?

Why is this so heated? Unless I'm reading it wrong...

Anyways last time I checked, the cs had all the cool parts that the gt people put on their cars. Like all the 2010+ with the cs fascia. Probably the most popular front bumper for those cars. The bosses have the cs fascias plus a little. The Shelby gts from 07 and 08 had their bumpers. Lots of good options that were supplied on the cs cars, and yeah they are a special edition. I don't think many people get it though haha

It's a trim package



There's no difference between a CS VIN and a GT VIN.




But with that said the newer CS owners asked for a sub forum and the admin gods granted it.




What's the big deal?

:agree:

I think the BOSS guys have some competition for the biggest ego contest :jester:

yeah... shelbys owners :p

That's just Gary :jester:

Joe?

I think that's why Joe hated on the Boss guys so bad. He hated the competition on him wittle ego. :p

Bahaha Bahaha hahahaha

I thought they were issued a production number? Unless you meant a plate on the crossbar or intake, then I think your correct, theres not.

Correct. No production number. But there are available special edition sheets that tell you x number of y number coupes in such and such a color, etc. Don't think they have those for GTs. My bullitt was #6333 in '09 and my focus is an svt limited production vehicle #2050 of a build of 2173 in '03... blah blah blah. All manufacturer's hype to make you feel like your mass produced vehicle is something special. Mustangs happen to push all the right buttons for me. Whatever. The CS deserves it's own little section of the forum as much as any other "special" mustang. :confused:

:agree:

No big deal...sometimes it's just fun to rile up the haters. Exhibit A :)

So, limited editions then?

I guess so


Wow I own a limited edition :cool:

This thread has turned a little too crazy. But, if my car is #109 of 170 i wonder if that makes it just a little special. Or maybe it's just special to me...i guess i'll take that!

I think your car is special... A California special. Hahahaha :jester:

LOLOL

I consider it a special edition vehicle. Not just because I own one, but because It has a pretty long heritage back to '68. Only recently is it "just an options package" to the mustang crowd.
