^ i agree. I got a ton of compliments on the color, from everyone, girls, guys, older people. I think its going to be one of the more popular colors..
Do you love the base model?

I didn't read any follow up posts, but having driven a premium GT ( HID's, Leather, Shake500, Brembos etc etc ) and looking/sitting inside a base I guess I'll add my 2 cents.
The base model would be good if all you care about is a car to go fast in ( esp one that will be modded into a drag only car ). Otherwise I'd get the nice version. If you buy 1 share of ford stock and then get your x-plan pin, you can get a fully loaded GT ( minus navigation ) for like 34K. Thats a good deal considering your base is like 31.

I got my base model GT with 3.73's and Security Package with X-Plan pricing for $29,111.
I looked at both and drove and rode in both before I bought. I liked the cloth seats and felt that the extra money I would have spent on the Premium GT would more than pay for the mods that I have already gotten (except JLT CAI).
X-pipe/SCT tuner/93 Octane tune package: $769
Flowmaster 'Hushpower' axleback: $396
JLT CAI: $350 (estimated)
CDC chin spoiler: $225
Hood stripes: $31
Rear decklid blackout panel: $33
Premium wheel center caps: $33
Window tinting: $160
Total cost of mods: $1,997
Total cost of 'Base' GT + mods: $31,108
For about $3,000 less than the loaded Premium model, I have a car that is capable of running high 11's in the 1/4 mile (with sticky tires), still has all the power equipment of the Premium model except power driver's seat and has a few exterior mods so that it doesn't look like everyone else's car!!
ditto, love everything about my base modle but the cheep wheel
I dunno guys, I drove the base today, feels cheap compared to the old base gt's. the old ones had a power seat, had a leather wrapped steering wheel, and the clutch just doesnt feel like a mustang clutch, may still end up with it, or go to a 08 gt500
I have had them all lol that stuff in premium is just that to pay a premium for it.. I have had leather and it's to dam hot for it .. Base stere is great .. Didn't wanna pay for 19 that I can do nothing with.. The wheel sux though and I installed a 500 wheel and it's awsome. And cruis control wks radio buttons don't.. I'm working on it though
order a skin online and stitch it like a baseball. i've done it to every car i've ever owned. even a 70 superbeetle. real leather and wrap it yourself. costs about 50 bucks and an hour.
