New Member considering an 07/08 GT


Hi, hows it going? I'm a current owner of a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT limited, which I mistakenly chose over a '04 Mach 1 Mustang back in summer 2004.
I was about ---> <--- close to pulling the trigger on an '04 Mach 1 after several test drives, but went with an '05 LGT after a few test drives and listening to people around me, although insurance was less than half of what they wanted on the Mach.

Anyways, it's summer 2007 and here I am after 3 bittersweet years with the LGT. I happened to get one of the very few troubled vehicles as well as having a dealership that ruined the ownership experience for me. I'm thinking about canning the LGT and going with an 07/08 GT (maybe a GT/CS). Now there are no Mach 1's made by Ford, so it looks like some modding needs to be done.


(I tried to post a pic here, but can't because I'm new - try googling downs mach 1 - should be the first link - it's a custom made Mach 1 done on the current body style)

After seeing that, I am kinda stroked at how little needs to be done. Looks like CDC's Shaker System kit, side window vent, lip spoiler, and some decals. I am not a fan of the wheels - so it looks like American Muscle's Deep Dish Bullitt wheels - not sure what sizes, but 18x10 rears sound nice (mated to possibly 285/40(45)/18 tires) and 255/45/18 on 18x9 fronts.

Probably an exhaust, but I would need to carefully research that, as I like taking weekend trips with lots of highway driving. I would like a beefier sounding exhaust without all the drone.

Not sure if I would get a GT or a GT/CS, although - I want automatic, leather, chrome/aluminum interior bits, and navigation.

Any suggestions? If anything - I would be going for a clean look like the pic above. Too bad Ford doesn't offer Grabber Blue, as I think Vista Blue is too dark of a blue to have black decals on. Maybe white, with black decals, and Black Mustang Bullitt Wheels.
