Ah, the GT!

[Alution]

My 2005 GT is ordered... ETA, 2 WEEKS! WOOOHOOO.. went with the 5-speed tremec manual... automatics are for weaklings. :P

Some have their preference for the stick, while some prefer the slush box like me.

I drive in notorisly heavy Atlanta traffic and as such went with the auto. While I would have likely enjoyed the stick, the automatic was my first choice, besides the manuals were in black and red while the auto was in metallic grey.

Black is a bear to keep clean and the red is an open advertisement for a ticket happy enforcement officer.

The metallic grey blends in, though those darn fog lamps when the sun hits them lights the car up. :D

I love my five speed.
Red car 6 k miles no tickets.
Longest burnout 50 feet.
The govener does work. :-}

Oh ...... and my car is tougher than yours :-}

I am sure it was tested on a dyno or a track.

Where does it kick in at?

[saulsse]

Yes I am sure that someone would likely out accelerate my 05.

Let's see longest burnout - Hmm... zero feet.

Highest speed obtained - Hmm... 85 MPH (Had an idiot in an 18 wheeler try to run me over...)

Current mileage - About 1300 miles...

Personal preference is to treat it kindly so it will return the favor later...

Not for nothing, but: Drive it like you stole it!!!
It will be a much better car later.
I did not say ABUSE IT, nor did I say don't maintain it.
