Unfortunately, the dealers in knoxville were extremely anal about test drives on their mustangs :/ The cars literally had 1 gallon of gas to drive on.

I've played with the thought of trading the Z in for a GT if it ever stands out too much here in Nashville :P The nice part of seeing so many mustangs around is that I wouldn't feel worried about parking mine on the street.

How tight is the handling on the GT at the limit compared to the Z? I never had a chance to take it to a good road. And how easy was it to get used to the steering wheel? That's one of my biggest gripes with the mustang, how there is plastic right where ones palms would lie in a 9-3 driving position.

If I answered your question I'd get flamed...

I will say you definitely get used to the wheel. It's fairly ergonomic for a 9-3 position even though it might not look it at first.

The wheel was one of my biggest gripes. I still wish it was a tad bit smaller, but you get used to it.
