911 is a fine car, but i wanted to take the roof off, i also found the 911 a bit too heavy for my every day use on the clutch.. i guess each to there own..

I even came up with a Licens Plate PC-CRUZR Im also thinking if i can't find this exact one I may just opt for a dark blue one to match my laptop!

I also want to mod a small form factor PC to put into the car some how to use as a DVD\MP3 Player! I would also put in an LCD Screen for back seat pasasngers!

FAST AS HELL. i live in PA and there are lot of contry roads and turns and such and we could go like 60 through the turns (dont sound like much but it is). and the noise. that thing wont need a special muffler or w/e to make it loud. it already is.

I've not yet really laid into it as she's just crossed 150 miles on the odometer but my feelings are that this car would be very close in a straight line with the Stang. Once they hit a corner, the SVT would annihilate the Pony. Hands down. In fact, last time I was at Seabring with my club (www.chinmotorsports.com) there was a guy there running circles around me in his stock 3 door SVTf.

I'm very happy with the SVTf for fit, and comfort. The Ford guys take a rash of heat about their interiors but SVT sure raises the bar in their vehicles. They've rubber coated all of the radio and other dash knobs, put in leather seats, kick arse sun roof and of course, the kickin' Audiophile system, ect, ect.

My father worked for Ford for nearly 35 years so I get what they call the A-Plan purchase option. Basically less than dealer cost PLUS any incentives (rebates) PLUS no dealer fees.

The SVTf was $21k and I ended up getting it for $17k. The Mustang was originally $26k and I got it for $18,500. They have more profit built into the Ponies as you can see.

Next for me (or my wife probably) will be the '05 Stang or a Lightning. She's not hip on the F150 but I could pass her my '03 Stang and I think the deal would be sealed.
