2001 Gt

[DBMSTNG]

well, you are going to love the GT. i have a few friends with R/T's. they are fast for a truck, but that's not saying a whole lot. i'm sure that Lightning is ALOT more fun.

How difficult is it to get a stock 01 GT to hit 14 flat? or a 14.1.....can they run them consistantly or once in a blue moon?

Theres no way its gonna be 4000$ a year. Unless you have a really bad
record. Probably more like 2000$-2200$

There are people here at that age paying that much, so I think there is indeed a way it could be $4K. Now, the fellow said he's under this 'rents insurance which means it won't likely be that much in his case but I suggested the $4K figure before I knew that.

I'm under my parents insurance and still it's $4k a year. Probably all the damn uninsured drivers around here, none of us have a single point on our records.

its all in the driver if you can learn to drive it well, no problem. but there are a lot of 13 sec. cars on the road, but they are being driven by 14 or even 15 sec. drivers

they can run low 14's consistantly as long as the driver can. you probably won't be able to get a 14.0 your first time out. practice will cure that. how long it takes is up to your ability.

That really blows. The insurance industry is, off the top of my head, one of the very few that gets away with otherwise-illegal stereotyping, sexism and ageism (discrimination, in other words).

Its not discrimination when they have lots of statistics to back it up, regardless of what you think about the issue all mustang drivers must admit these cars are not the most tame of cars.

I have seen some decent deals around, but nothing like the deal you got. Maybe more into the spring more will be for sale and I will find one then, time will tell.

 

[FallenPhoenix]

if I could grab a great deal on a manual (that hasn't been beat on or modded) '01+ GT with low miles and be able to afford payments then I'll do it. I think a lot of them will be available when the '05 comes out.

I own a 2001 Mustang GT which I bought brand new. It now has only 1,279 original miles on it. I keep it stored. I drive my 2002 V6 Mustang.

I love my 2001 Mustang GT and I want to be able to keep it forever.

 

[blackGT25]

im also 18 and own a 2003gt... its on my parents insurance and im pretty sure the full coverage rate is not bad.... around $180/3mo

 

[02gtred]

I'm 19, live in NJ (very high insurance rates) with one ticket and I have full coverage on an 02 GT and I am paying 3,900 a year on insurance.

Keep searching. It took me 2 months to find my deal. I picked up an '01recently with 31k miles for $13,800

First off congrats on entering the mustang zone,

My 01gt with 600 miles ran 14.02 at 98.7 stock.

Since modding has started I've been stuck on 14flat's....definately a 13sec car with a 14 sec driver.

I added 373's and spin like it going out of style. Whatever I've done just makes it worse. same et; but higher mph.

Remember one thing (practice,practice,practice)

You could a 01gt for less than 15k around my area.

Typical squeaks,and rattles. 1-2shift

Damn! You better watch your tickets. Dont know about Miami, but in Cali it doesnt take many to lose your licsence.

Lumping all members of a demographic into a pigeon-hole is discrimination. Not all 18-yr-olds are lousy, high-risk drivers. It's tolerated because of those statistics but there's not many other places in society where statistics could be used to pre-emptively treat one group of people differently than another. An obvious example is how police treat black guys. Based purely on "statistics", they may have a case for stopping more blacks in nice cars than other demographics but it's hardly accepted practise.

It's all academic of course. I know, as do you, that it will never change. I was there...did that, lived through it. At 37, my insurance is a comparatively low $US89 a month. It helps to have 21 years driving experience, no at-faults, no tickets in recent memory and to be married. It's a right of passage everyone, well, all young guys that want to drive anyway, have to go through.

It's still discriminatory though.
