I purchased this car in June of 2006
When I bought the car it was great nice paint job, affordable, comfortable until I started having problems with the transmission. I hade only hade the car 2 months before I started having problems with it. I love the car because it is sporty and fun to drive.

Great fun car!
I have salt and road corrosion leaching up through the frame of the car where the seat belts are attached. The salt is all over the seat belts in the back seat. The dealership stated the welds must have separated. Has anyone else had this problem?
Other than this happening, it has been a great car!!

A medium to high performance zipper
The supercharger belt just came off one day - didn't break. Had that adjusted and replaced. Other than that, it has been an outstanding buy.
The GTP will flat out fly. Raced a buddy on stock night at the drag strip - he has a Mustang Bullett - smoked him.

0-60 times don't play into it nearly as much as you might think buddy. Just because a car can get the drop on another car off the line (not talking specifics here), doesn't mean the "slower" car can't play catch up and win. And yes, driver error accounts for at least 50% of losses, probably more. Especially with a rear-wheel drive car like a mustang.
That being said, I'm a GTP owner. Yes, they are fast. Yes, they can beat many a mustang, and with mods they can take on MUCH more challenging cars. I'm not obsessed with beating mustangs - hell, I don't even race more than once or twice a year. But, mustangs aren't nearly as "quick" as thier owners would care to believe. The same could be said about GTPs I suppose, or any other car for that matter, but 0-60 times really don't seal the deal. There are alot of other factors that play into it, and the fact is that mustang GTs really just aren't that fast. Hate to break it to you. They aren't slow by any stretch, but they aren't then end-all be-all of speed.
Both being stock, a GTP will drop a bomb on a GT Mustang 99-05, and would probably lose a close contest with a bullet.
Spend 30 dollar's on a smaller supercharge pulley and new belt, and well sorry mustang.
Have you been on Myspace? With the right upgrades, I've seen a GTP walk all over a Dodge Viper so I'm sure a GTP can outrun a Mustang all day long.
Awesome car, great handling. 231,200 miles!!!
Rear crankshaft seal problems. Now overheating.

Drives nice with many other mechanical problems
The car's windows shake.
The clock/CD/FM/AM digital display is scrambled 33% of the time.
At 28,000 miles the car dies when it is idle in park or at a red light.
The RPM tach dies when driving and the Trac light comes on.

Amazing!!!
Nothing yet, but the transmission may be starting to slip.
Awesome car and amazing to drive. Just remember supercharger oil should be topped off at every oil changed. Most people don't do this, which is why they burn up the supercharger.
