I traded in the GXP Yesterday 3 weeks ago we traded our 06 V6 Mustang in for a new 2010 SRT8 Challenger. We got $8,000 off MSRP.
Going almost 3 weeks without the Mustang my wife was going thru withdrawls so we bought a new 2010 GT for $8,500 off the MSRP and traded in the GXP.
I did put the stock tune back in so I have the Superchips Cortex programmer that I may sell for $250 + shipping.
I had the GXP for 2 years/24k miles & they gave me $3,000 less in trade then what I bought it for.
I was very dissapointed with the below 3,000rpm performance of the 2011 5.0 auto The 2010 4.6 Mustang has more power below 3,000rpms and the 5 speed auto shifts much better than the 6 speed auto. Mustang. Above 3,000rpms the new 5.0 is awesome.
The fact the 2010 was $12,000 cheaper then the 2011 may of been a "small factor"
I reserved a dyno on Sept 12th so I'll be running our 2010 SRT8 Challenger, 2010 Mustang GT, 2000 Camaro SS and maybe my 383 stroker powered 1999 Suburban. I'm curious to what that 383 stroker motor is putting down. It's pretty fast for a Burb.
Steve Saleen was at the Dealership yesterday and they have some of his cars for sale.
I like what they did to mask the ugly butt of the new Mustang and plan on upgrading ours minus the big wing.

I hate you so much. -.- 
I was offered a '10 GT for ~$25K shortly after I bought my GXP, 5 speed, cloth, basically stripped down the way I'd want.
I love the rear end on them.
17s gonna be for sale?

I plan on keeping them for now. I can still use them on the new Mustang & the Challenger(rears only) The DRs still have plenty of tread left. I wish I could of taken the GXP to the track with the DRs but the tranny is probably thanking me for not.
Here's a little refresher from local car show burnout contest:
last year was the 08 GXP
