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)

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.

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.

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.

Nah, West Palm Beach, but the monsoon thunderstorms here in South Florida make up for the blinding blizzards. Instead of salt on the road we have it in the air all the time

Nope - Atlanta. I'm just repeating what I've heard dozens of people say who do live in the Northeast and drive RWD vehicles.

Gasp and Go, Low Speed Lurch by coach1522

I have a 2006 Ford Mustang GT, automatic transmission, with 40,000 miles. The problem I am experiencing is what I call a low speed lurch or a gasp and go. I press down on the accelerator evenly, then all of a sudden it takes off. I back my car into my garage up a slight incline on a gravel driveway, 50% of the time, when it takes off the tires spin and gravel is thrown on my car. Has anyone had a similar experience? Or more importantly a solution? Dealer can't fix.

I do live in the NE and you hit the nail on the head. OK in light snow and never take it out in heavy snow or ice without real snow tires.
