The new Mustangs have the chip in the key so that should be enought o dissuagde the casual car theif....The factory alarm is 325 bucks and it is not even the kind that "lojacks"...is it worth it?

$325 ???? Sounds like the dealer is trying to rip you off. When I checked into it on my 99 the addition of a "factory alarm" consisted of the dealer taking a $50 (his cost) box and plugging it into an existing wiring harness in the trunk behind the trim panel.
The factory alarm is a 295.00 option, according to my window sticker.
On the '07 Mustang, the factory alarm lists for $325 and (according to KBB) invoices for $283. Read the description of the added capabilities and decide for yourself if those goodies (e.g., remote notification) are useful for you and for where you will park.
I can comment only on New York state, but there have been less than 10 thefts of the 2005-2007 model year in the past 18 months according to New York State Police records.
