Congratulations!  It's a beauty!

If the build date was last July 10, why did it take almost five months to take delivery of your car?  Did I miss something?

[glroy]

I looked all over the us and then last month i said what the hell less hassle just to by local. took them a few weeks to find one. it is a Canadian model. from the rumors i have heard only 90 came to Canada and at 15 to one coupes to verts could be as few as 10 or so verts in Canada

I changed my order from Race Red to Red Candy.  (I have to have red, and I won't apologize.)  Ford does a pretty good job with the three-step clearcoat process.  There was a Gotta Have It Green V6 Mustang the other day at the gas station around sundown, and I was amazed at the different shades that appear on the car in the sideways light (not that green is my cup of tea).  The three-step process (with metallic flakes under the clearcoat, I think) helps highlight the lines of the car in a way you can't get with a simple clearcoat finish, no matter how shiny it is.

I just wish Ford offered the Laser Red that it offered on the 2000 and 2001 Mustangs.  I had one, and it was absolutely gorgeous.  But then I got the 2001 Cobra, which I had to have, but was in Performance Red (the same color as the 2000 Cobra R).  It was a bit of a downgrade, color-wise.  Sort of "Tomato Soup Red," as someone described it.  Same color, same car as in my sig.  (Absolutely terrific car, by the way.)

When I was at the dealer, trying to decide between Race Red and Red Candy, I was looking at Fusions and whatnot, and the Red Candy looked a little too purple-ish -- or at least I thought at the time.  But get a set of GT500 white stripes against it, and it seems just about right, which is why I changed my mind.  Hoping to post some pictures of my own -- and soon!

Thanks it is cold missing SoCal and Texas. it gets worse I have to go to Ottawa for two days temp forecast 20 to mid teens.
Lisa coined the cars right Beauty and the beast the 07 is a beast with more power than the new one. i do love the color and Lisa will be able to figure out all the bells and whistles. All \i need to know is where the shifter,clutch,gas and steering wheel are:they have not moved them yet. LOL

[Blown Away]

Congrats Glen and Lisa!!

I see a trip to Palm Springs in your near future...

Unfortunately I was one of the first people in the country to get their car. That being said, when I ordered I really didn't have many pictures to gauge my choice on. I saw grabber blue or I all it smurf blue didn't like it. I saw DIB which was a test mule in michigan and I liked it when there was no sun light. But that in other lights it looked purple kind of like the mysticchrome from 04 and I hated that color. Then I saw the picture of candy red from barret jackson and I loved the way it shined orangish in the light, I thought that was the perfect color for this shelby. But then I saw an old candy red v6 and I thought it looked like womens lipstick and was girly. But then they changed the candy red on this year with something difference because when I finally saw it on person on a 13 v6 it looked soooooo much better than when I saw it on a 2011-2012 v6 and I was like shiiiiitttt I should have gotten it.

I don't like race red because it looks like a tomato. Silver is boring, white is boring (white only looks good on mercedes in my opinion), though amigos white super snake looks pretty bad ass.

Would have gotten black with red stripes but the red on the interior looked stupid and out of place so I just played it safe and got black with black stripes. Thats my punishment for being indecisive and being one of the first to have their car lol. But its ok, it's just another life lesson to be more patient now.

Congratulations on your new "beauty"!

[joebob948]

Sweet ride......Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[svtkeith]

Congrats and enjoy...keep the rubber side down.

[Husky44]

Beautiful! You said it came out of Canada? I assumed it was the one from Port Orchard. Looks like the exact same set of options. Would have loved to have bought it, but glad I got GB, it was my first choice. Congratulations! Hope you get a dry day or two to enjoy it!

Thank god people are different and are all allowed an opinion...

I think white is hot as hell. Black is ho-hum, wanna be like everyone else. Kinda like yellow vettes... A dime a dozen.

I like gloss or pearl white not a flat white. But yea black really only looks good after I clean it. Thats why I'm trying to change it up a bit. I'm thinking of pulling off the black stripes and either putting double red stripes or a single red super snake stripe with stock hood.
