Default Re: Did I make the right deal? 2005 GT Conv

Welcome, Larry.
Well, a little late to ask now, isn't it?
Is the intake manifold plastic or aluminum? If it's plastic, you have 10 extra, free horsepower. During the '05 model year they switched intakes on turbos from cast aluminum to plastic, and that gave 10 more horses.
Other than restyling, that's the only difference.
First thing I'd do is have oil changed (use Mobil 1). The warranty says oil should be changed every 6 months, regardless of mileage, and I bet dealer never did.
