I was able to test drive the GT and V6 coupes, but not the GT vert. I ordered the vert not even knowing if I would fit in it ( I'm 6'3" and barely fit in my 87 GT). Thankfully I had the chance last month to test drive a vert. Whew! Plenty of room for the 'ol noggin.

I ordered the GT vert without driving one; they did not have any GTs but I did drive a V6 vert first; i currently have an 00 GT vert and knew I would not be happy with a V6 even tho the power is much improved; I should have it by this Friday and can hardly wait; a legend lime with black top and interior.

The first time I drove a mustang of any kind was the day I picked up my GT coupe at the dealer. I have been a happy driver ever since.

I hadn't even sat in one, and had only seen one in person from behind ropes. Never test drove it - as a matter of fact, when it came in, we did the paperwork before even going to the back lot to look at it and drive it home.

It was an awesome ride home.

I ordered my Mustang GT before test driving one. I sat in the GT on display in the showroom twice before I finally decided to order (once in October, once in March). Ordered on April 1. Finally test drove a GT two weeks after ordering. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed.

1st time I sat in one is the night I drove it home. I ordered the GT w/o ever seeing one, except in a mag.

I ordered an '05 before I had even saw one up close and personal, let alone get to test drive one. Forums like this and magazine articles made it easy to do so.

Ordered my '99 Z28 the same way

No test drive for me either. I did get to see a couple at the lot the night I ordered but they were sold. Would not have mattered anyway I was getting it no matter what. I did't even get to drive mine off the lot, my Dad and Husband had to get it for me. My kid had been in an accident and I could not leave her....
