It's killing me! Now that getting a 5.0 is a possibility for me.. I can't make up my mind!

For sure... the car will be:

GT Premium

Glass Roof

Automatic

that, I know.. everything else is up in the air. I thought for sure I would get black... as that is the sexiest Mustang color of all time.. until I saw a Kona Blue in the parking lot at work. That, and I think my daughter (6 year old) and wife are giving subliminal messages

I love dark blue.. but can a Kona Blue stang look as mean as a Black stang?

You might need to throw my vote out seeing how I have now owned 4 Mustangs and they have all been black. LOL! I actually have not seen a color I did not like, but there is just something about a clean black car with tinted windows. After I wash it I wanna make love to it. Hahahaha!

kona all the way with brembo package...wheels brakes look good. black is just to hard to maintain. if the black was metalic, maybe....i went with sterling, and i like it......auto r u sure.....

Oh I missed the automatic part. Not about to try and tell a man what to buy when it is your money, but I have tried both over the years. My first mustang was a auto and I will never do that again. I (key word I) get so much more out of the car being a manual. Anyways I will shut up....this is about black or blue!

Both options are good, but obviously I'm biased. A major factor is how much time do you have to maintain the exterior of your car? A black car has to be washed very often to look good. Kona blue would need slightly less maintenance and water spotting would be less noticeable. Either way it would look great. It's really up to personal preference though.

Thanks for the replies.. part of this "hobby" to me is keeping the car clean Trust me.. I know what it means to keep a black daily driver clean.

Will I have the same feeling when I look at the car? Sounds like a stupid question.. but, honestly, when I look at my car after a good cleaning.. it's the same feeling I got when I brought it home.

I'm hoping the added 400 + HP will make up for any differences though... Never thought id go with anything but black.. but this color is growing on me.

As for the auto vs manual.. I know, I know.... maybe i've just gotten whipped and beaten down.. but:

1: Even if it's once a year... the wife has to be able to drive the car for practical/safety reasons

2: I can't imagine teaching my wife how to drive a stick with a 412 HP 6 speed.. although you never know.. she might like it.. (which may actually be a problem).

Forgot one of my other "for sure"... 3.55 gears

BTW, I've heard 5th gear is a bitch to hit with a manual when racing... from what I have read here and other places.. the new auto tranny matched with 3.55 gears is pretty bad ***. Maybe not as fun.. but performs. Plus, I wont have to worry about frying my clutch

These cars are so refined it really isn't difficult for anyone to handle the manual.

Also, you can't option the 3.55 gears and auto, you'll have to swap the gears on your own.

My Opinion....BLACK is the only color!

2011_5.0_Kona_Blue

As you can see my 5.0 is Kona Blue and it is dead sexy! As far as teaching your wife how to drive a 6-speed manual, I taught mine and she drives it like she stole it...

If i had to pick i would go for the Blue..They are both great..but i like color that pops a lil bit..

Black is nice no doubt..i just like color...U cant lose either way!
