RED FIRE GT
Ford did an excellent job of combining the sound & power of the 70's muscle car with the technology of today. The retro style brings back memories of so many past Mustangs; it is amazing the different years people see in this car. The power is more than enough to pin you back in your seat. I was surprised most by how quiet the interior is while outside you can hear the rumble of the exhaust. Sometimes I just roll down the window to listen to the roar of the exhaust. DON'T BUY THIS CAR if you don't want to be noticed or like talking to strangers. No matter what age or where people stare and point at you as you drive pass or come up to you and start talking about the car.
Best decision I ever made!
I absolutely love this car! Excellent performance with decent gas mileage. Ride is much smoother than I expected with the live real axle. The front seats are very comfortable, with lots of legroom for my 6'2" frame. Excellent sound from the engine and exhaust, both inside and out of the car. Draws lots of attention, especially with the opposite sex. The cupholders are in a stupid place; if you have something in them and you go to shift, you hit the cup with your elbow. And the steering wheel needs to be telescoping; with the seat moved back in a comfortable position, it's impossible to reach the top of the steering wheel unless you incline the seat back almost straight up and down.
Bill's 2006 GT
I am 58 years old and I recently purchased my first ever Ford Mustang. I built my GT on Ford Direct online with the exact options that I had to have. My local Ford dealer located my GT at another dealer with my options and we made a deal, below MSRP I might add. My absolute beauty is tungsten grey, black leather seats, 5 speed manual, 18" polished aluminum wheels, interior upgrade package with the anti-theft kit. My friends can't stop talking about how beautiful it is. Imagine, a 300 HP muscle car for under $30K. You will not find a better combination of style, power, handling & value anywhere. This GT reminds me of the '65 Fastback I dreamed of in high school but could not afford.
Bad To The Bone
I bought my '06 Silver GT brand new, and only have 7,100 miles on it. Have the 5 speed manual trans. which is the only way to go. Have added lots of goodies to it to pump up the HP's, and replaced the stock mufflers with MAC. Sounds totally awesome. Added louvers, hood scoop & blackout panel on the trunk lid. I totally love this car, and the way I feel right now, will keep it for as long as I'm around. I still get a thrill when I get behind the wheel, and never have a shortage of people telling me how great it looks.
A Great Pony
I bought mine new in July of 06. v6 Legend Lime w/pony package. I went with the V6 due to price and insurance cost. After adding a S&B CAI, Predator tune, and GT muffler, I bumped up the hp to that of a small block v8, about 240hp. A 4:10 is going in shortly to makeup for the automatic. The v6 is a great platform to start off on if your on a tight budget. Responds well to S/C's which take the v6 to the 310hp range. I don't have that many miles on the car, but I haven't had any issues with it. I still get many compliments from people when I am out and about. I have no regrets with this car. It's a blast.
