I'm thinking about buying a manual 07 GT and wanted some opinions on the following options:
1). 3.55 axle ratio. Does the GT come stock with a Traction-Lok Diff (and 3.31s)? If so, do I want/need the 3.55s? How much of a hit in gas mileage will I see? Do most people get rear-end howl because they have standard 3.55s (excessive driveline wobble)?
2). Active alarm system. Worth it or not? Since it is factory installed, wouldn't thieves know exactly where to look, what to cut, etc...? Couldn't the dealership come to my house and steal it?
3). Shaker 500 / Skipper 500. I've heard a lot of stories about the Skipper 500 and am skeptical about paying $579 for the option. I would like the upgraded speakers and the door-mounted subs + amps, but the receiver sounds like a POS. My alternative is to install an aftermarket $130 CD MP3 receiver with the 4 base speakers. Any ideas?
4). All-weather floor mats. I've never seen them in person but they sound large and heavy - exactly what I need in floor mats. Do they get in the way of the pedals (Clutch + brake + throttle)?
