I like black, but I don't like having to wash it all the damn time. So I say blue.







That aside, I assume your not buying the stang for performance since your going glass roof, auto?

I was torn between the Kona Blue and Black my self but when I was at the dealership and the sun came from behind the clouds and the light hit the Kona blue thats when I decided. Kona Blue is awesome, I should be driving mine in about 6 weeks. Don't get me wrong Black is great too. Two of my other cars were black.

Nice Choice OP. Blue is the best & yes (this ^). BLACK is pita to keep clean.

Kona blue sparkles more in the sun than black does

I'm sure the 400+ HP will more than make up for any weight the glass roof adds.. lol.

That said.. I think ive decided on the manual.

After not sleeping last night.. and going over this from 2-4 am in my head

If im gonna do it.. I should do it. That, and the manual will off-set the cost of the glass roof (that's what I told my wife....).

She is going to call the insurance company tomorrow


Also...

never thought I would do it...


but I'm pretty sure it will be the Kona Blue

Kona Blue with the Brembo Package and "Machined" 19 inch accessory wheels.. blacked out windows and smoked tails with a black panel and a CDC chin.

If I actually get this thing.. im probably gonna sleep in the garage with it for a few days ;O

For those that have the kona, is it true that it changes colors depending on the lighting?

You can pick any color, so long as it's black.

Nothing meaner than a black stang man.
Black Sunshine all the way.

So you asked if it changes color in the sunlight, the answer is yes. Sometimes it looks like it is deep blue or black and other times it is blue with that metallic flake shining.

I don't know about anyone else but when I bought mine it came with a 7 year paint warranty from Ford.
