I've had my Gt for a year and couldn't be happier. About 6 months ago my neighbor got 2015 gt 50th anniversary pack. He was prompt to show it to me bragged about how he got a deal at $67k for the car. (ill pause for you to laugh here)
A few days later he comes knocking on my door upset that his manual transmission thuds when shifting between 2nd and 3rd. I know this is a well documented issue. My gt used to do it and I'm still not sure if it went away or I just got used to it. I drove his car, showed him this forum and tried to help him understand that there was nothing to worry about.
For weeks after he would try to complain to me about his car and how Ford ripped him off and today he has it parked on the street with writing on the Windows slamming Ford, the dealer, and mustangs in general.
My GT had dash squeaks, I fixed them. My GT had some body alignment issues and a transmission that used to thud before I changed fluid and shifter. But for all its little imperfections, it puts a big ass smile on my face every time I push the pedal.
Perhaps it's because my GT cost half what his did (no 50th pack for me), or perhaps it's because most people don't buy a Mustang hoping for it to be a status symbol I'll never know.
But I do know where someone can get a good deal on a gently used GT! My neighbor can go buy a 3 series.
