Drove an 06 today...
 
And Oh. My. God. Thank you ford, for making me want to empty my savings account on a mongoose...This car...was AMAZING. For all of you who havent driven one, and have just been listening to what others have said, about it not being fun, or any faster than the 99-04's...shame on you, and even more so, shame on THEM. This car is sick, now, I drive a MAYBE 270 hp car, this was 300. And oh my, what a difference it makes. I have 3.73's, and this car STILL made mine feel slow. My car honestly felt like a pig b*tch when I got back in it. The fun begins in the upper rpm, and this car will be doing 85-90 before you know whats going on. The whole car really let me know JUST how old and tired mine is, and damnit, I want a newer one now. Suspension could use a set of springs and some subframe connectors, but wow. Just wow. Oh yea, and the shifter is like silly putty, but that can be fixed. Wow, yea, Go drive one and see for yourself.

A guy at work has one and its auto. He says that it literally never quits making power to redline and it accelerates great. I want to ride in one and possibly drive one soo bad.

Everytime I test drive something I get a new payment book. I looky no touchy. I'd take one in a heartbeat but wouldn't trade mine for an 05gt straight up.

I can't say that i'm impressed with them. They have a nice interior but i have raced a few.;) and none has pulled me yet!;)...

I bought mine (2006) last December. I love this car.

madmatt 04-05-2006 03:22 PM

Well, I was impressed, I guess we'll have to line them up to see, but damn it felt faster, and when I got in mine, it felt like it wouldnt go at all...

My boss has an 05 GT and I've driven it quite a bit and I'm pretty impressed with it.....The first few times I drove it I still had my 03 GT Vert and it felt much stronger than my car even with a lot of boltons. The 05 pulls pretty good all the way through the rpm range and the 3 valves respond pretty damn good to simple mods. I still think they look big and feel heavy!

Lances03SVT 04-05-2006 03:41 PM

LOL Damn Matt I thought you had driven one!!

My local dealer has about 6 GT's sitting there screaming my name LOL
I have driven 3 Gt's and Love them.They don't even feel like the same type of car.The wife's 06 V6 impresses me everytime I drive it.They have a white 06 Gt with red leather and a 5 speed that is way hottt!!

madmatt 04-05-2006 03:43 PM
