We pretty much got kicked out of the thread that we normally post at. Guess being the most prolific thread doesn't mean much. Censorship is great.

I could yes but that doesn't fix the babysitting going on. We've always been on topic until he showed up. I don't take kindly to being treated like a kid when I'm paying for a membership and when we've done nothing wrong.

What are you talking about? Link?

I am so frustrated with my GT500 search. I'm about to give up. Maybe look at a Roush stage 3

Fire 08-14-2012 07:08 PM

You can always come back from the dark side and buy a ZL1.

Are all of the TX dealers giving you ****?

Have you talked to Lou Fusz on the forum? I'm surprised he can't hook you up...

Actually we have posted whatever whenever on this thread. That is why it is on at over 8000 posts on it's 4th incarnation.

Ok fine, for the most part it's been on topic. You have to agree that the ridiculousness didn't start until very recently.

Act I'm not in Texas anymore. I'm in KS. And I've only found 1 available allocation and the dealer wanted $5k over MSRP. Another is sitting about an hour away and they want $10k over invoice for a total of $70k.

Most just don't have the allocations.

Then what thread is it in regards to?

All they're trying to do is keep a thread based on the Topic of what it's created for. We have 'conversation' threads already for both the OG's and the Base members.

Oh that's right. Well Fusz is right next door in St. Louis if you ever fancy a trip that way... I'd say still wouldn't hurt to give him a call, he may not have one, but he might be able to point you in a direction of a decent dealer.


Those prices are ridiculous, but I think the allocation bit is your primary hindrance. Is the Roush Stage 3 worth it, or would you feel like you settled?

Differences?

The Roush stage3 is a Mustang GT with all 3 Roush packages

Stage 1 body kit and badging

Stage 2 handling package

Stage 3 Power package w/ Super Charger

The price goes from around $50k to $60k depending on how optioned the GT was to begin with.

It would compete better with the 2012 GT500 but not the 2013. My other option would be buy a GT 5.0 and build it the way I want it. In the end a Roush still has a GT VIN number.

So if you had to rank those options in terms of what you want to what you'd accept...

1. GT500
2. Stage 3 Roush
3. 5.0 built your way?


Are the Boss302 or Laguna Seca editions even on the table, or are those worthless? (I'm not a mustang gearhead, so forgive me if that's a dumb question)

As if to suggest perhaps one is better than the other? Geez, you're not an elitist or anything are you? ;)

SUBD due to the spanking that the mods felt necessary to bestow upon that other thread. :shakes head:

LoL No, I'm not. I'm just denoting that we have 2 different types of memberships, both have their places for chit chat.


It wasn't a spanking to request a thread be on topic. Same as the 500 other threads that get requested to be on topic in any given month. I don't see the point in being upset over it...

Fire 08-14-2012 07:35 PM

Anywho.

Are the Boss302 or Laguna Seca editions even on the table, or are those worthless? (I'm not a mustang gearhead, so forgive me if that's a dumb question)

The 302s are supposed to be great handling cars and meant for track (more so of the Laguna Seca (LS)). They don't other the luxury items I expect in a $45+k car. The LS even has rear seat delete. They are like the NISMO is stripped down interior and increased suspension.

I want Nav, leather, and glass roof. The boss others none of these.

The GT500 is a beast. A SC 5.8 engine with 662 HP and 600 lbs torque. A 202 top speed (under better than perfect conditions). It has electronically adjustable suspension with settings for sport or track.
The way I would option the car it would be $62k MSRP. 60k warranty from ford.

The Roush stage 3 would probably be around $57 to $60k the way I want it optioned. It would have 525 hp with a SC It carries a 3/36k warranty Roush authorized ford dealers

Building my own the GT would cost me around $37k the way I want it optioned. Then I'd get the Boss suspension and exhaust for sure. Then comes the real question the stage 1 SC or stage 2. The stage 1 is 525hp and I believe has some kind of warranty. The stage 2 is 624 HP but no warranty.
