The color is Kona blue. I love it too, if I'd gotten the 302 I wouldve had Grabber Blue.
HID's kind of annoy me when I'm driving and I see blueish lights in my rearview. So I dont want to put that on anyone else, the only benefit I really see of them is that no cops around here have them, so you'd be letting people know you're not a cop.
If you're buying the V8 purely for the sound you're in it for the wrong reason. I'm happy being nearly as quick as last years GT and getting 30 mpg.
As far as bang for your buck goes, considering it gets better fuel mileage and is in a lower insurance bracket, you're right. I'd honestly rather have the '11 V6 vs. the '10 GT. At least until I turn 25.
Alax7, you're right. It is a VERY fun car to drive. And when the 2010's came out I didnt really like the tail lights either. But, they've grown on me. Especially since I learned the blinkers are sequential.
1LoudLS, I didnt know that this 6 had more than some Vette 8's. But I dont doubt it considering this car has 15 more hp than my all time favorite Stang, the 69-70 Boss 302.
Pete, c'mon, it might have originally been for females who didnt care about performance. But this is the modern world, where 300 hp is 300hp even if it comes in the wrap of a turbo I4. But, when I drove my friend's Golf GTI earlier this summer I couldnt help but think "all turbo and no cubes makes Jack a dull boy", so I do know where you're coming from. And that was in comparison to my LS 3.0.
Oh, it is kind of scary when I think about all the High School kids that are gonna be drivin these things around because their parents think that the V6 Stang isnt fast.
I didnt even test drive the 302, I didnt want to know what I was missing out on.
I haven't tested the 0-60 time, I dont think thats what its lap timer is for. At least i doubt my coordination to include that. But, MT claimed a 5.1, which is awesome given that the 10 Gt had a time of 4.9.
And for those that just popped in to congratulate me, thank you. I love this car. The only thing that could make me love it anymore is if it were wearing next year's Boss 302 badges.
