Thanks JimmyTwoTimes and Old 5 Oh! I just received a copy of my dealers order form and they had me down for the manual transmission! Ugh! I called them to change it to automatic and while on the line put it back to 3.15. My wife agrees since she said we don't need the GT to begin with! Ha...
After reading all prior comments I just ordered my auto GT with the 3.55. Now you are giving me 2nd thoughts. Your comments make sense to me! I test drove the 3.15 only and liked it. Decisions, decisions! I don't think they put the order through yet.
Your last paragraph sums it up completely for me also! I drove the EB twice but there was just something magical about my ride in the GT. Once I experienced it there was no going back!
Branden, what rear axle did you get? That's my only indecision at this point even after reading all the...
As stated I was quite happy with the EB (no PP) until I made the mistake of driving the GT (no PP either). Then I drove the same EB again and it was kind of a no brainer for me. One put a smile on my face the whole ride while the other was just okay. I'm not even a muscle car kind of guy.
My wife and I have been going nuts the last 2 nights coming up with ideas for a future vanity plate. My state allows only 7 places, no spaces, and only a few symbols. These are still available here:

3.55 Rear axle?
Okay, so I'm not a mechanic or a real car buff. Can someone explain to me in simple terms what the difference is between a 3.15 rear axle and a 3.55? I'm ordering the GT automatic and everyone says to be sure to get the 3.55. What will this do for me if I pay the extra...
Thanks Branden, but at this point I'll just go with the price they gave me. They were $1200 below what another dealer quoted me on the Ecoboost. They might still give me any incentives that come up.....no contract signed.
Thanks so so much for all the ideas expressed here! Of all the replies, only 1 said not to get the GT and I hope he was only joking about my age.
So I went back to my dealer this morning and they had not ordered the Ecoboost yet! He said they were waiting until 1/15 to meet my requested...
Thanks Branden! You really described what I'm feeling exactly! I'll be going to the dealer tomorrow. If they've already ordered the Ecoboost then fate made my decision. If not, I may try to test drive the Ecoboost again, then decide. Wife will not be coming with me!
So I have my new Mustang all picked out, my dealer has the specs and will order it any day now for a late Winter early Spring delivery. Ruby red Ecoboost, automatic, with 50 year appearance package. Yes, I test drove one in stock. So what's the problem? Well, yesterday I test drove an...
Hi Mustang lovers!
I just signed up here after lurking for a few days. I love seeing the photos of your awesome cars! I just gave my dealer the go ahead to order my new GT in Ruby Red, automatic, with the 50 year appearance package. I'm hoping for a late Winter delivery!
