Just test drove an 05 GT today... February 13, 2005, 06:38:44 PM and WOW! My order's going in a lot sooner then I planned (probably a month). The salesman beat the out of it first and put the thing sideways out of a gas station, and I was more than welcome to have fun. :D I also test drove an RX8 today (my not so secret obsession). And as much as I've heard people saying they were terrible, I think they're crazy. The car was awesome, but it didn't quite have enough to win over the mustang. If the 05 wasn't out though, I'd be putting in an order for the RX8. :D QuoteExterior Color & Interior Trim: o Windveil Blue Clearcoat Metallic o Dark CharcoalThe following features come standard on your vehicle but may have been upgraded by options you have selected above.Exterior: - 17" PREMIUM PAINTED CAST ALUMINUM WHEELS - P235/55ZR 17 Z-TIRES - REAR DECKLID SPOILER - FRONT FOG LAMPS - STAINLESS STEEL DUAL EXH - DUAL POWER MIRRORS - VARIABLE INTERVAL WIPERS - REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER Interior: - SHAKER 500 AUDIO SYSTEM AM/FM W/ CDX6 & MP3 - AIR CONDITIONING - LEATHER TRIM SPORT SEATS - POWER 6 -WAY DRIVERS SEAT - SPLIT FOLD REAR SEAT - CENTER CONSOLE W/ARMREST - SPEED CONTROL/TILT WHEEL - POWER DOOR LOCKS & WINDOWS - DUAL VANITY MIRRORS Functional: - BRAKES, POWER 4 -WHEEL DISC - POWER RACK PINION STEERING - POWER POINTS (2) Safety & Security: - ABS/TRACTION CONTROL - AIR BAGS, DRIV/FRONT PASS - FRONT/REAR OUTBOARD THREE POINT SHOULDER/LAP BELTS - 24 HR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE - SECURILOCK - REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY Warranty: - 3YR/36000 BUMPER TO BUMPER Destination Charge: - Destination and Delivery $625.00 $625.00$26,405.00 $24,442.00 Quote Selected

Reply #8 – February 14, 2005, 08:29:24 AM Quote from: shame302awesome...so thats what your away message was all about...im so jealous it...can i get a ride in that!LOL, yep, that's what it was for ;) I wasn't sure between the Windveil blue and mineral gray. Found em both at a dealership side by side and fell for the blue (have a gray car anyway). Test drive 2 hopefully in OH this week. I'm pretty torn between the 2 cars, so I'm getting second opinions :) It'd be a little easier if I didn't know I could get a loaded RX8 for about the same price as the loaded GT. It's just convincing them to let me take the GT out knowing I won't be buying it from there that'll be the pain. At least around here, they're being really picky about letting people drive them, luckily I didn't have to argue TOO much. Quote Selected

Re: Just test drove an 05 GT today... Reply #12 – February 14, 2005, 12:35:12 PM Crystal that RX8 would have been nothin but headaches. Nicely put, Mazda transmissions suck ass, ask anyone who has any experience with them. A friend of mine bought an RX8 and went through 3 transmissions along with a new engine. I like the body, suspension, and interior of those cars, but the drivetrain blows and Mazda knows it. When he tried to trade in the car, Mazda didnt want it. They need to put a Ford mod motor in the RX8, then it would be a bad ass ride... Quote Selected

Re: Just test drove an 05 GT today... Reply #14 – February 14, 2005, 05:05:39 PM I had a 5speed in my little mazda pickup. That truck sucked balls. the tranny went out on it twice, and that is with a carbed 1982 1.9l inline four. It had the same tranny that the earlier rx7's had.(along with the ranger). It couldnt hold its own against a >100hp inline four. I hated that truck too. Imagine being 6'4" driving a puppiesanese truck. I took that truck to warped tour with a 1 1/2 foot mohawk. Couldnt get out of the ed thing. Quote Selected
