I bought mine because Ford finally built the one I've been looking for since my first new '85 LX 5.0 Coupe and since then I've had 4 other Mustang's. I was of the opinion my '06 Black GT would be it for a very very long time, but the idea of Ford making a Boss 302 has me drooling. So if they do build it, I'll be in line for one, if not, a Shelby may be in my future.

I am 49 and I bought My Mustang because I have a congenital disorder that has been in the family since time began. It's called "WBSPS" or "White Boy Short Penis Syndrome". Actually, It may not have a very large diameter but it sure is short. So, Since I previously owned a 1966 GT-350H that I sold in 1977 (like a complete idiot!). I have been waiting 29 years to replace my first love. All of these years I have had nothing to compensate with. Now I can drive around town in my Mustang and pretend that my organ is HUGE!
O.K. so in reality I am a contractor. And, I'm supposed to drive a pick-up truck like most of the podunk contractors here in Colorado. Thing is, I've been driving pick-ups and SUVs for over 20 years. I am damn tired of that! So, my wife suggested I buy something that I'd really like to drive. It didn't take but a couple of days and my new GT was parked in the garage. I love it. What a great car! What mid-life crisis? My kids want to ride in her all the time. My wife wants to ride in her all the time. Only one complaint: Anyone know if there is a nitrous credit card available? My bottle keeps going empty and that sucks!
26yrs old and this is my second stang. Purchased a new 2000 Vert (the first car I ever purchased) when I was 19 and in college. I'll be buying my Third in about a year (waiting to see what the news is about the GT500. If no changes are coming I will buy one as soon as it can be had for MSRP or less)

28 Years old here, had my share of different vehicles over the years, but never owned a mustang before, and no desire to own one (except the 67's) until the 05 Came out. I had owned a fairly heavily modified Focus ZX3 that I had built into a "Euro-spec" car, because I was sick to death of all the hondas and acuras rolling around, and wanted something less common. I hit a crossroads with that car, as I knew that I'd have to put forced induction into the car to make it as fast as some cars are STOCK, or to beat up on the typical imports. But, if I had done that, then I would have needed a bigger clutch, LSD, chromoly driveshafts, and bigger brakes. On top of that, the car was racking up the mileage fast, and wasn't worth squat to most dealerships if I wanted to trade it in.
The local Ford store in Pembroke ON had sold my roomate his 2003 Escape v6 Limited, and wanted me as a customer. The owner of the dealership owned an 05 black on black leather GT premium with low km's, and when he found out I was interested in the new mustang, he made me an offer/deal on my previous car I couldn't refuse.
Now the tables have turned...the S197 gets HUGE street cred where I live, and does almost everywhere I go...I used to have guys in SRT4's and Acura RSX's look down their nose at my modded Focus, acting like they were "King S**t", and now they look at the stang as if it's a Nemesis. Even guys or gals in Audi's, Bmw's, and Lexus and other luxo-mobiles look at my car with lust when sitting beside me at traffic lights.
Now my family and Friends all want one...looks like Ford hit a Homerun with the S197...
I'm 63 , never owned a mustang befor however I've admired the '04 ever since I took a close look. Then when the '05's came out , I just had to have one. I ordered mine in July of "05 and was dissapointed that "05's were done and it had to be an '06 . I took delivery of my Windviel Blue GT in Sept. of '05. I love my car and did well at the track this last summer. Do need to learn how to control the throttle and should do better with drag radials.
Im 34 and i have owned well over 20 cars in my life and one of them was my 68 fast back. I loved and miss that car. It had though many faults, like seeing out the back and turning when your going over 60. was tough but she had a 351 clevland in her(borrowed from a 69) and man she could go. and oh ya no traction in rain or snow. She died and i did not have the money at the time to fix her up. Yes i regret that now big time. Then i went to go get a mustang in 2000 but they did not appeal to me and looked and felt nothing like my 68 but i was just about to buy a dodge magnum when my wife said, now that you are certain of buying this go try another car that you like and see if its better. So i tried the 05 and bought one the next day. I love her and she reminds me of my old baby and more. I also love the attention i get with her, just the other day an undercover cop car raced up next to me and the police officer in the middle of an intersection was asking me all kinds of questions about my car. held up traffic. Was awsome.

I am 42 and bought mine 20 years to the day of my first one in wich was a late 86.sold it in 88 to start a family and buy a house,regretted selling it ever since. Saw my 07 black cs/gt being unloaded off the truck and bought it that evening on a ford x plan,the same way I bought my first one.
48, Had to have the retro look. Had many mustangs growing up and took a break and had family cars so thats enough of that. Love my 06 GT. Between my brother and I we had 67, 70, 78, 87, 95 model year stangs. When we bought the 06 my wife said everyone driving the new models were over 40.
I was 31 when I bought my 06GT & now Im 32.Still love the car as much as I did when I brought her home & named her Shelly!I bought the car due to the throw back looks of the 60s and because after doing a little reseach I found that these S197s were true platform race cars!Hence the 400ish RWHP(with NOS)!!!!

I am 25, I bought a bright Torch Red 2006 GT. Last year, I bought a bright red 2005 F-150 FX4, great truck. I do miss the truck sometimes, but the car is just so awesome. I don't have to do 100000 mph, just 40, and it's great. A corvette could be driving right in front of me, I still get more looks. Just wonderful. Feels good, sounds good. Great!
I just turned 56 and I bought my 05 GT in November of 04 because I've always had a passion for high performance cars. The other day I was talking to another car enthusist and it got me thinking. I started driving in the late 60's, my first new car was a 69 Chevelle SS 396-375 hp car. I've had many, many more in between but really I was a GM fan in my younger years and sold the 69 Camaro I owned for 15 years about 4 years ago. The only Fords I've owned are a 2001 Bullitt, a 2003 GT, and now the 05 GT. I've been bleesed to have lived in both high performance eras (late 60's early 70's) and the new dawning of this high performance era which to me has started with the ressurrection of the retro Looking Mustang, the Upcoming Dodge Challenger, and if you can call it a retro car the very Dissappointing Camaro (and this is coming from a old GM Fan). To me the old cars have gone crazy in price over the past few years and I cannot reason to buy another when you can now buy something brand new that has the looks of the old cars and all the creature comforts that our Mustangs do.
21 here, bought it cause I wanted a car,(I've had 7 trucks). The insurance was too high on the STI, then I almost bought a 350z that was sold out from under me, Audi A4 and VW passats have major electrical problems, Older C5 Vettes burn oil, e46 BMW 330ci was tied with the mustang but I decided on the Mustang which has about the same problems they all have if not more than the others. But it looks good at least haha.
