Yes they treated me very well there. It is a large dealer, but they are very personal. Or at least the guys I dealt with. It was George and Steve...

The power is definitely noticeable. It feels similar to an 07 corvette convertible I drove for a few days, even though the vette was probably faster. My car felt quicker in the lower RPMs but I think it's mostly an illusion. I had 3.55s on the 07 so once I get mine with the 3.73s I will be able to comment on that. They should have my car in about a week.

You are correct about not getting much rest tonight... oh well

I am extremely impressed with these new cars... It is worlds better than my 07. All of the standard features are very nice. The suspension is so much softer, and I have adjustable Tokico shocks and struts on mine. I love the ford sync. Everything is hands free. Through my iPhone I can play music or make calls through bluetooth. I wasn't aware it was standard with the new mustangs.

The 6 speed transmission is pretty amazing. The gears are very close together, there is almost no play from left to right. The car shifts so smooth and the gears are very easy to find.

This is the car I wanted, but I didn't expect to get into one so soon.

Good I was wondering about the Iphone...seeing it doesnt want to play friends with anything else I was worried about the sync lol.

BTW, I'd rather have the red one. Black is nice, until you drive it everyday and start noticing scratches. Besides, red just looks sweet.

I have had my stang for over 5yrs now.
It's black.
If I notice a scratch I deal with it right away. Not hard, no big deal.
Deep scratches that are tough to deal with are just about as noticeable on any color car (excluding white sometimes)

They are a little harder to dry after washing but after a few times of practice it becomes just as easy.

There is no such thing as Black is nice UNTIL when on a Mustang.
There is no such thing as a meaner looking color on a stang.
