    A few questions on the Pony Package

    Is the Pony Package only available with an automatic? I thought I read that it includes bullitt wheels. Does it? I was planning on the GT vert, but now am considering the V6 vert w/pony package. I definitely want the bullitt wheels and I think the pony package also has ABS.

    Cruise Control

    Are you happy with the cruise control on the Mustang? I currently have an Escape and the cruise control is not the greatest. It will allow your speed to vary by 5-10 mph on even the slightest of grades. I'm hoping the Mustang will be better.

    X-Plan how do you get a number?

    I've been reading about the xplan and see lots of controversy over it. Seems that some dealers take and some don't. Questions: Do you have to have a family member or friend that works for Ford? Does a dealership count? Can you just go to service or sales and say, Hey there, wanna be my...

    Convertible Questions

    I am wanting a GT Vert and this will be my first convertible of any type. I was concerned about how the soft top will look several years down the road. I've seen lots of older verts whose tops look really bad, especially on Jeeps, but also on other vehicles. QUESTION: How much clearance...

    Chevy SSR or Mustang GT Vert

    If the price was the same, what would you pick? And why? I wanted the SSR but have changed to the Mustang. I do sure like the retractable hard top on the SSR. But, the SSR does cost more.

    Gt - Auto

    I want a GT with Auto instead of manual. Main reason for auto I guess is that i'm too lazy to shift. Seems everybody is telling me to get the manual. But, every manual car i've had I've gotten tired of shifting even though I don't have much stop-n-go traffic. It will be my daily driver...

    Radar: Valentine 1 or Escort Passport 8500 X50

    I'm making a 1500 mile trip over Memorial Day weekend and want to buy my first radar detector before this trip. Being a holiday weekend, i'm sure speed traps will be out there. But, I'm short on time. I was ready to order a Valentine 1 at $400 until I just read this: At RadarTest.com...

    Number of Posts

    I have made a few posts in the S197 Talk forum- New thread and replies to existing threads. Just noticed that my posts always show up as Posts: 0 Why is that? I'm not trying to get an award for the most posts, just curious why it always shows up as zero.

    Availability

    I know this is wishful thinkin', but when will the GT's be sittin' around on dealer lots for sale (and without that AWFUL Additional Dealer Markup)? Was hoping that maybe by this fall when the 2006's are going strong that maybe supply would catch up with demand. I'm sure Ford likes the way...

    GT Test Drive

    Ok, so I'm thinking I want a GT Vert, but I haven't been on a test drive in any 05 Mustang. I'd sure like to drive one before I order, but of course, nobody has any GT's. I could test drive a V6 and just 'know' that the GT would be faster and sound better, but that sure leaves a lot to the...

    How much do you want your payments to be?

    I've read in here a lot of negative stuff about that question. I'm looking for tips in negotiating with the dealer. (Although, there may not be any negotiating on a GT). What is so wrong with this question? In other words, all factors, including Sales Price, APR of loan, months of loan...

    Dealer Mark-up or not when you order?

    Was in our local Ford dealer today getting an oil change on my Escape. I'm getting ready to buy a GT Vert, but waiting to pay off our other car first. Here's the deal. They had a V6 Vert (NOT A GT) and they had a sticker on it clearly marked Additonal Dealer Markup $3995! And this was on a...

    Does anyone know (or know where to find) what is the breakdown of the 2005 Mustangs made so far by model type? If nobody has this info, I'd like to hear what anyone thinks the breakdown would look like. Example: Must total 100% V6 Coupe 50% V6 Vert 20% GT Coupe...

    Trade-In and Order

    I want to trade-in a vehicle (Escape) whenever I get my Mustang, so if they had one on the lot this might me easier. However, I would like to get a GT vert and those are hard to find on a lot. So, if I order one, how do you trade-in? Do they give you a price for your trade-in when you...

    Where to get GT Vert picture for desktop?

    I'd like a good picture of a GT Vert suitable to use as my Windows background. I was going to get an SSR, and have an SSR for my background, but have decided to get a Mustang instead so I'd like to change it. Definitely like the SSR in Yellow, but not sure I like the Yellow best on the...

    Can tall people fit in Mustang Convertible?

    I'm looking at various convertibles and really like the Mustang. I'm 6 ft 1 and too tall to fit in some convertibles. I have to kind of duck to see through the windshield or my line of sight is right at the 'bar' above the windshield instead of through the glass. So, does the Mustang have...
