Discussion on 2011 Colours
I'm still undecided as to what colour I should get when I order my 2011 V6 and to be frank I am kind of disappointed by Ford's lack of a variety of colours. Let's examine what they are offering:
Black: It's hard for a mustang to look bad in black.
Grabber Blue: Not my cup of tea, unless it has enough black to contrast the blue like I see many grabber blue owners have.
Ingot Silver: A nice silver, but it turns an awesome car into a generic car.
Kona Blue Metallic: I see two different pictures of this colour. One looks beautiful in bright light at just the right angle. The other looks dull and too dark. They should have brightened it slightly like the guardsman blue on the 60s cobras.
Performance White: Simple and goes with a lot of colours for striping.
Race Red: Now this is what I like. Bold but not too much like grabber blue.
Red Candy Metallic Clearcoat: Dull. This is the kind of colour Rental places buy.
Sterling Grey Metallic: I like this. It gives it a strong rocky look.
So Ford is offering 8 colours for the 2011 year. It seems so limited. White, Greys, Black, Reds, and Blues. I'm leaning towards Kona Blue Metallic with white stripes and saddle interior.
What's your guys' opinions on the lineup of colours Ford is offering?

I think the available colors are sufficient, except maybe the lack of yellow. As for the interior, I prefer black, regardless of exterior color. It looks nicer and harder to stain (or harder to notice it, anyways).
And, I'm just curious. By stripes, do you mean the tape stripes or the racing stripes? I don't really care for the tape stripes, but that's just me. If you are getting a V6 with racing stripes, that means you're getting the Premium V6. If that's the case, can I ask what the reason is for not just getting a 5.0?
If you are getting the V6 with the Sports Appearance package, then forget I said anything.

Yes I'll be getting the pony package.
