Default ordered an 05 gt!!!

Well havent posted in awhile.i had sold the mach i had about 8 months ago so i could catch up on some bills and at the time thought i wanted another 5.0.well i bought an 88 coupe that is in great shape to work on.....anyway after realizing i just dont have the time anymore to work on cars that much(have three kids at home)i have decided to go ahead and get rid of the 88 and i went ahead and ordered an 05 mustang gt.base model,spoiler delete in white.

i seemed to get my mach to run ok,hopefully i have the same luck with this car.also this car ends up being about 6grand cheaper than my mach was.

Why an 05 gt? You could have gotten an 05 Camaro.......No, wait, Dammit!

Congratulations.

I have a few friends that want an 05 Gt. I told them to wait because they aren't offering any rebates anytime soon.

I paid 22,212 for my Mach new in 03. I got 4k rebates and D-plan( -3500 Ford family). I replaced my 97 Cobra with it. The Mach runs much stronger.

What part of Houston? What color?

Mine ran 13.30 @ 104 with stock tires

I added a OR Hpipe, Chip, K&N cold air and DRs.

Need to make a trip to HRP to check out the new times.
