I was just talking about this the other day. The dealer gave me a good price for my Malibu, so I bit. I got this nice GT Mustang rag top today. It’s pretty quick and sounds great. My driveway looks nicer now. Premium package gets me leather heated & cooled power seats. And is as fast as it sounds. I’m finally happy today!

Congrats on the Silver Bullet! Drive it in good health!
Looks darn speedy!
Have fun but be safe...
Super nice ride! I rented Mustang convertibles every trip I made to Arizona from 2005 to 2024, 5 generations, and I think that the S550 is the epitome of Mustangs and rag tops are the only way to go.

I'm the only owner this 2005 GT has ever had.
I drove alongside a newer GT 500 the other day, sounded like a lot of car. I have friend that gets a new Corvette every change, he is waiting for his new C8 or wherever they are. The C7 was a hell of a car, he let me take it out for a spin. I am not adult enough for a car like that, I would be getting my license taken away inside of a week. I have a friend that owns a Hellcat, he wont let me drive it because I told him if he did I would show him how to do a burn out. My fun car is a Model A, I get all excited when I spin the inside tire on a hard turn up a hill.
Nice ride.....enjoy.
Congratulations! Nice ride! Your face may hurt for a couple days - from all the grinning. 
You gonna drive that in Pittsburgh winters?

Enjoy your "Hotrod Mustang"!

Our first GT was an 89. 302 5 speed.......One Sunday morning on a very low traffic straight stretch of hwy. I decided to see what it would do........I throwed it up into 3rd and nailed it........At 98 mph I shifted into 4 and nailed it....All the lines in hwy were solid........Couldn't se the breaks.......Trees on each side were blurry......looked down and I was running 132 mph...........Got kinda scared and backed off.......Still had 5th gear to go......Speedometer had 140 on it..........No doubt if I had held it it would have pegged it.
Our second GT had an automatic trans........I only got it up to 100 a couple of times.......Sadly wife found it harder to get in and out of so she traded our third for a Mom Mobile.....So after 3 ponies they are gone.......The kid in me wants another.

I'll add mine to the mix. Bought this lightly used on my birthday in 2016 as a retirement gift to myself. Went two states away to get it because I wanted the Gotta Have It Green, only made in 2013 and 2014. The only mod I've made to it is a Roush axle back exhaust.

Choose the right tires for high speeds. I put high speed, dollar Yokohamas on my 1990 5.0 HO. Drove like a dream. Got married, and when those needed replacing I couldn't afford them. Driving out of the tire store upset me at any speed.
Third and fourth gears were monsters.
Enjoy!!

Well done! A suitable reward for working hard! And when you hit that V8 with the top down, you are suddenly in High School again and you can do anything!
I've had a bunch of Mustangs over the years, and this is my current one. I think this is #12 for me. A 2008 GTCS with a 5-speed and 65k miles, I'm the second owner. Unfortunately, I don't drive it much so it's up for sale.
I'll play.. my first new one was in 1990.. Black GT 5 speed.. drove it every day, rain snow hot cold, didn't matter. raced it on weekends.. SCCA Autocross and drag racing...had too many and sold it to a friend for cheap.. he actually traded a S&W 36 and some cash for it.. lol.. his high school son totalled it..
