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.

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.
