Very awesome Ryan. Can't wait to see it in a few weeks. One thing though, get your pompous a$$ out of the handicapped spot.

Wow, thats sweet. :10 Since you picked it up last night, did you find it easier to sleep with the car in the driveway?

No mods planned for the 2011...yet. I have a '65 that needs the attention a lot more.

Jake, the concrete wasn't as comfortable as I remember. :lol

This is the nicest driving car I have ever been in. Ultra smooth, quiet(I know), feather light clutch, just a dream to drive. The electric power steering is amazing too. The "my color" lets me choose between over a hundred different colors for the gauges and ambient lighting in the interior. Right now, I have white gauges with a red halo, and red ambient lighting. Looks sweet! I love the Sync system too. Voice command for phone, music, traffic, directions, etc. Ford got it right this time, there is no question.

Ryan, could you post some pictures of the interior? I've been considering red on red to match my 66, but wasn't sure how much of a two-tone effect there was on the 2012 red interior.

Jack, no problem. Most of the interior is still black. Just the seats, wheel, and door inserts are red. The pictures don't do the red leather justice; you really need to see it in person.

Thanks for the interior pics. The white stripe on the seats would really complement the white racing stripe option I had in mind. Very beautiful car (unfortunately aggravates with my "I need it" syndrome.)

I will say the red interior with the stripe is top notch. They had one at the show (same exterior/interior color combo as Ryan's) and it was beautiful. I wasn't sure how the two reds would blend (remember, I'm colorblind) but it is a freakin' awesome combo. It looks like they really paid a lot of attention to interior detail.

Color isn't the only thing you're blind to, but that's another topic.

Again, Ryan, beautiful car!

While I hate giving Duane credit, he is dead on. I too was a little unsure of the two reds together, but once I saw it in person, I knew that was the one. And yes, the interior detail and craftsmanship is just top notch. I still cannot really believe that the car is this nice, AND that it is mine. BRB, gotta go look at it again...

Make sure you take some tissues or paper towels with you.

Wow very nice!!! Just an awesome car. I wonder how a baby seat would fit in the back!

I would want a 5.0 but in grey or silver!!!

ZFORCE · « **Reply #38 on:** September, 08, 2010, 03:10:15 PM »

Simply Beautiful! I love the way Ford just keeps the retro touches going. The new center vents look just like the 67-68 only larger, and the concave tail light panel from the same years is a nice change from the 2010. How does the new 5.0 feel?

I have been taking it easy so far. I'll open her up after I get a few hundred miles on the clock. The drivetrain is super smooth, shifting is effortless, and the clutch is very light. I've been starting off in 2nd a lot, which is more than enough gear.

ZFORCE · « **Reply #40 on:** September, 08, 2010, 09:59:15 PM »

You might want to rethink starting off in 2nd, lugging an engine is worse than revving one, be careful.

I can assure you there is no lugging with a 2.43 second gear and 3.73s out back. Most close ratio 4-speeds have a 2.20ish first gear.

ConGrats on the Great BUY.. It is a awesome looking Stang Just stay away from the back end.lol

I have a factory red spoiler with backup camera if you want it. pay shipping and its yours. I did three of these for Ford and used aftermarket wings.

While that is a very generous offer, I purposely ordered mine with spoiler delete. Thank you though, I appreciate the thoughtfulness.
