#2669 of 2847 Re: how long are orders taking [08pony] by redpony07 Nov 03, 2007 (6:44 pm)
Replying to: 08pony (Nov 01, 2007 1:57 pm) The same thing happened to me last October for an 07. I placed a thousand down and was told, just a few more days, over and over. I waited two weeks and was done. I located a GT with Parchment - albeit 120 miles away. Right price, negotiated all by phone. Went to the local dealer 2 days later and canceled the order. You sometimes have to play hardball too. 3mos is excessive for a v6. Their sales are down and should be jumping at anyone trying to buy. Good Luck.

#2671 of 2847 Traction in snow or on ice? by aladdinsane Nov 04, 2007 (8:47 pm)
Hi all!   My Lady and I have discussed the possibility of purchasing a 2008 Mustang, but I have a question for all of you out there who own this machine with traction control:   How does the Mustang track on/in snow and/or ice? I'm NOT talking about blizzard conditions, so don't misunderstand. I'm hip that it's rwd, and traction can be iffy in such situations, but with the traction control inclement weather tracking should be better than with no TC at all...especially in a Mustang. Am I correct?   I had a Hyundai salesperson tell us that a Mustang in winter is a fool's ride. Slippin' and aslidin', if U get his drift. I tuned him out upon his saying that. Anyway, please, all you with winter driving experience in your Mustangs please give yours truly the scoop. I sure would appreciate it...   Many thanx-   Peace!<-AladdinSane-- Replies to this message: gzgtp (Nov 05, 2007 6:23 am) akirby (Nov 05, 2007 9:43 am) gzgtp (Nov 07, 2007 6:22 am) and 3 more...

Replying to: aladdinsane (Nov 04, 2007 8:47 pm) I don't want to discourage you, but Mustangs and snow don't mix too well (even w/TC). Do you get frequent snowfalls where you are? If so you might want to think about the Hyundai (maybe as a second car).

#2673 of 2847 orders by 08pony Nov 05, 2007 (7:32 am)
Congrats redpony08. My ordered car is also v6 prem. Our local dealers only have a couple 08's on the lot. None like I ordered - v6 prem, pony, heated seats, sirius, safety & security package, leather, chrome exhaust tip, auto, dark candy apple red/ black. I will continue to pester dealer. (I know he is sick of me)

Replying to: gzgtp (Nov 05, 2007 6:23 am) Mustangs do fine in occasional snow. TC helps until you completely loose traction and then you may need to shut it off to allow the wheels to dig down to find traction under the snow. If you drive in snow or ice regularly you'll want a separate set of winter wheels and tires though.

#2675 of 2847 Getting it sideways. by mschmal Nov 06, 2007 (2:21 pm)
Rain on the way in to work this morning had my TC working hard. Maybe I shouldn't be so aggressive in the rain...hmm.   Mark. Replies to this message: baggs32 (Nov 06, 2007 3:35 pm)

Replying to: mschmal (Nov 06, 2007 2:21 pm) Rain on the way in to work this morning had my TC working hard. Maybe I shouldn't be so aggressive in the rain...hmm.   I learned my lesson very early regarding a GT and the rain. Almost kissed a concrete barrier on an onramp 2 months after I bought it last year.   It was scary Mark. But really fun too!

Careful....just had a kid put his into a guardrail. Upside is he put on the Shelby 500 front cap for his replacement. You can get the parts for around $2K.
