I looked at them before I bought the 150, but just having graduated college 5 years ago and saving for a house with a serious gf I can't afford two cars... and my daily life requires a truck. I rented an 07 V6 for a week though last year in NC while on vacation... put 800 miles on it... even though it was not a GT it had some power and was a nice car.
Check insurance, for for low 20's, same price as a mustang, you can pick up clean c6 vettes, hell even c5 z06's.....
And I'm sorry all that bleed ford blue, vettes are far superior then mustangs...

My dad has an 07 Cobra, nice car. Hardly something to use as a d/d (really cool if you can swing it), but it like all 05-09's and 10's are nice imo. More room in them and more comfort driving. You really feel like your in a 60's stang with the longer hoods. Nobody I know has had anything but good to say about them and really no problems mechanically or fit wise. Do it, especially the california special- my personal favorite 05+.
Heres my baby...a lil rough, but she treats me well. In the process of restomoding it.

I have a '67 Fastback that's also rough.
Nightmist blue, 4 barrel 289 w/top loader 4 speed and a console. Dealer installed with a 8" Detroit locker and 3.50 gears.
It's got Magnum 500 wheels, with some motor work and suspension goodies.
Needs paint, minor body work, a little TLC on the interior, a new heater core and a new steering box.
Patiently waiting for when I can afford to fix it up right.

I had a 1986 GT with the 5 speed. First year for the mpfi as I recall.. Was a pretty cool car for me at the time... Wish I had a pic of it! I owned it for over 11 years and I can't find a pic of it!! DOH!!!!!
It gave it's life for the F150 (trade in 2001)... Wish I could have kept it, but couldn't house both vehicles and I needed the trade in $$...
My 'dream' Stang is a 1969 Mach 1... Any engine, but a 428 SCJ would be nice! (well, so would a BOSS 429 for that matter....) Just have always liked that body style ever since I was a little kid and would see them by the DOZENS on car lots all over Southern California in the early 70's!!!
