    Black Paint

    Mine is black. I will paint it orange when scratches, smudges, swirls, bird droppings and water spots get to be too much (probably a few years). No regrets though because black is what they had on the lot when I was ready to buy my car! Really joyful driving around a triple black vert...

    05 Vert w/ Bad Motor

    Never a problem with my GT vert top - built in February. Maybe there was just like one bad batch of motors? I remember one other thread where a guy's motor went bad - but nothing widespread.

    one50andpump: If I can go to Reno and bet on Giacomo to win the 2005 Kentucky Derby, then I'll pay off the wager I proposed two months ago on this board :-) Seriously - I am happy for your good fortune! Do check back with pics when you take delivery.

    Really Dumb Question: Car Wash Tips?

    I have to put in a good word for Dri Wash 'n Guard. Spray on a mist, wipe on, buff off. whole car (vert) in 10 minutes. It may be overpriced, it may be marketed like Amway... but darn if it doesn't work great - and you can do all your detailing in your garage at night. Fabulous...

    A/C clicking?

    I keep reading that it's normal - but it bugs the crap out of me. I swear I will pump my gas with the nozzle upside down without a whimper - I don't think my car has to be quirk-free..... but I WISH there was a fix for this extremely annoying sound. I'd pay decent money to get it...

    A deal gone bad!!

    "Dealer prep and administration fee of $995"? For real? Is that fee normal in Florida? In CA, there's just the Destination fee like you see when you book it on KBB. Pat yourself on the back - you dodged a bad deal :-)

    Best Driving Music?

    That ONE song.... Authority Song by John Mellencamp. Can only pray there are no cops around when that comes on!

    And now... a completely hypothetical question...

    I love the price/features compromises EXACTLY how they are in the '05 but I would have paid extra for a select-shift auto transmission as an option.

    How much do you want your payments to be?

    Geezz you guys. Go to a lot and ask to see the selection of 05 GTs. Then you'll know what "limited" is. If there are 10 but 20 people WANT them, then they're limited. If there are 50,000, but 100,000 people want them, then they're limited. They're limited by legal restrictions on...

    Availability

    I think if you shop around and are willing to pay MSRP, and aren't fussy about whether you have wheel upgrade, shaker 1000, and are flexible on colors.... then you can get one off a lot. Or wait and do the same based on 2006 MSRP. When will you be able to buy one for "invoice + $100"...

    How much do you want your payments to be?

    Z GT: you can research on the internet before you shop, and arm yourself with info about what your trade is worth, what your credit score is, and what price you should pay. But when you get in the pit - you're all alone against a team of people who know every game... every angle to trip you...

    shaker 500 or 1000

    I agree with Wardog (I think anyway). Don't get sucked in. After having tens of thousands of dollars go into home hifi, getting all whooped up on chat boards, following trends including cult/fad speakers made in Thailand out of marble, ultra high capacitance solid state amps, magic silver...
