3rd GT Added to the Family
My brother just got his triple Black PP GT. So here is my Magnetic PP GT, Sam's Ruby Red GT, and Erics Black PP GT. Looks like a Ford dealership now!!

It's nice to see the Ruby Red Next to the Magnetic. I struggled between these two colors before I ordered. I went to the dealer with the intention of ordering the Ruby Red but they had a Magnetic Eco Boast on the lot. Once I looked at the Magnetic in person I instantly changed my mind. Although the Ruby Red is still beautiful.

Just picked up a 2015 GT in Magnetic. Never thought I would even consider a grey car, but the black wheels just made the color pop. So far, it is amazing. It has replaced my 2014 Shelby, and I have to say that this new GT is heads above my Shelby in everything but thrust. But it is plenty fast! The handling just is amazing. No body roll, and it just sticks like glue. It actually drives like a much lighter car.

So the standard leather seats are better than the 2014 standard leather seats? Not that I think mine are crap or anything but they could use a little more support when doing some spirited driving. I really wish the 2015 offered the PP on the auto trans. One reason I might consider a 2015 is to go to an auto.

Much more bolstering, and the leather seem of a higher quality.
I could afford the Shelby, but to keep the value up, you have to keep the mileage off. No fun paying monthly and not driving much. With a GT, I know where I stand...it is a depreciating asset, one to be enjoyed. Also, the Shelby was just too powerful, every time I floored it, the tires just broke loose. I think a GT could possible get to 60 faster since the Shelby just can't get traction.

Im just not feeling that body style. Dont get me wrong .. Its a nice car but its just not for me. I have a 14' GT 5.0 and love it. Just replaced the OEM IM with a Boss 302. Gonna order ARH headers and hi flow cat H mid pipe soon. Then it'll be time to change out the cams.. Gonna get some Comp Cams. I liked to be at 500RWHP N/A when its all said and done...

Dealers here finally got a few in stock. I took my wife to show her. She like the new design. They only had Guard, white and black. Those aren't even colors. Let's see some actual color, like Race Red or Competition Orange.

First, congrats on all three of those in the family. Good advertising opportunity for Ford.
I mentioned in another post that the S550 is growing on me...I'm not as dead set against it as I was at first. I'm seeing less and less of a Fusion grille, and seeing the car for what it is.
I still prefer the lines of the S197 Coupe, but I've seen a million of them, and only seen the '15 in pics, so I can't judge the new Mustang fairly at this point.
But since my preference is GT convertible anyway, I'd need to see one in real life come next Spring. I really would like to be knocked off my feet.
