Hey gentlemen,
I was a long time reader of this forum hanging out in the gt500 side of things. Heres a little background info. about myself as well as my current situation (not that you guys really care). Anyways, I currently graduated from college :banana: and got a forensic accounting position as a mid size accounting firm in my area. I was all for buying or financing rather a '13 gt500 until, well, reality set in. Went to the dealership with my parents and after pricing the car well it came to ~75k (with all tax and what not). The payment would have ended up being ~1100 a month. I would basically be working just to support this payment while living at home. In theory I could have "afford" this payment every month but I wouldn't have much money left over for other spending (bars and what not). This also isn't putting into consideration the insurance payment a month. So I decided a more responsible purchase would be the stout 5.0 gt premium. I went for a test drive in a '13 grabber blue and the car had PLENTY of power for me coming from a TBSS. So I think that's the route im going to go with. This upcoming Thursday im going to the dealership and place my order for a sterling gray 2014 gt premium with the track pack, recaros, nav, reverse camera, and security, basically fully loaded. I decided to go this route instead of the GT/CS because I wanted the recaros and reverse camera and I figured I could always get the splitter later down the road. Now to my questions for you guys, when do you think I will be seeing this car at the dealership, is 6-8 weeks reasonable for a '14 gt, I no the production of the '14 started today. Also, one of my friends mods will be an axle back exhaust. Im leaning towards either the roush axle back or the gt500 axle back. Roush sounds a little raspy while the gt500 sounds more deeper and muscular, what do you guys think? I plan to do mods that will keep the warranty and according to the salesman I could do any mod that's from Ford Racing. I no im getting ahead of myself but I just want a few opinions. Thanks for your help in advance!:bowdown:
