Silencer06 -> RE: Just take delivery on your 05/06 GT? Brag here! (5/18/2006 12:32:29 AM)

Just bought my '06 GT Coupe Premium this past Sunday the 14th, and man, I'm loving it so far.....gas prices be damned!!! This beauty is black with the black leather seats, and I opted to get one without the IUP because I just love the look of all black with just enough chrome inside this muscle car. It just works perfectly with it! It's also got the Shaker 1000, which I didn't necessarily need or want (the 500 would have been plenty for me), but I'm here to tell you, this thing was made for Joe Satriani's guitar work, as it sounds better than I've ever heard it before!!! The 1000 is just about the only "option" it has, but I like it as is....plain and simple and ready to burst.
I've been wanting a Mustang since the early 80's but never even test drove one until this past weekend. As soon I saw the new body style on the '05 models, I knew I had to have one and told the wife it was happening when I retire from the Air Force. Well, I haven't retired yet (just a few more months), but just telling her that got her interested too, and as soon as I knew she was hooked, it was just a matter of time before we actually dropped the dough and drove off with one. We started looking hard a few weeks ago but never drove one, then this past Saturday I went to one dealer hoping he could find me a black coupe with a manual transmission and 18" tires, but the only one he claimed he could find was in Oregon (I live in Olympia WA).....and it didn't have the 18" wheels I wanted. Well as you can imagine, they used the distance as their leverage to keep from negotiating with me on a good price for it, insisting the manuals are too hard to come by to lower their prices, especially because they had to have it delivered (whatever!!!!). Well after telling him my own max price and hearing him say no for the umpteenth time, I finally walked out and headed south to look at other models. I found a white manual trans at another dealer but just didn't want white (although it was VERY tempting), so the wife broke me down and suggested I test the beautiful black auto that was calling my name.....and I absolutely fell in immediate love. Even though I always wanted a manual and did like the way the white one shifted and handled during the test drive, the automatic just feels faster and more responsive....whether auto is deemed "classic" or not! However, I'm already tired of people telling me "you can't buy a Mustang in an auto!!" Ummmm, well sure you can, and I did and have zero regrets!
So anyway, as soon as I can figure out how to do it, I'm going to add a photo to my signature because the car is now a part of me.
Looking forward to hearing from a few of you about some suggested simple mods for her. I know I'm going to at least put a K&N air filter in it and some window louvers on the rear sides, but what other suggestions do you have? I want to keep her as close to stock as possible, but I'm open to suggestions and anyone daring to get me hooked on "more".
