My 2005 GT costs me $140 per month, all-in (comprehensive, collison, and a rider on the stereo system for upto $2500, if I wanted to go that crazy with it eventually). I'm waiting to see what my premium will go down by when I turn 30 next year, as I'll have had it for more than one Fiscal Insurance year. In all honesty, with the type of car it is, the number of speeding tickets ( 4pointers/$350 ones too) and my offroad excursion avoiding a deer in the rain, I'm actually paying a VERY reasonable amount I think.

My Insurance company, or rather my Insurance broker, said that I can make changes like different rims, different tires, brakes, etc...provided they meet or exceed OEM specs. Difference is, a lot of the stuff I've bought has been OEM anyways (which I'm going to do with suspension and brakes on this car).

Some of the cars like the Roush or Saleen or Shelby's are very nice indeed, but I refuse to grab my ankles so to speak over the price of one. You can buy and build a stock GT into however you want, for less money than those pre-fab cars.
