Owned all auto cars that I used to race at the track. First time owning a 6 spd and I have a LOT more fun now. Haven't had an issue with my 6m with 4,000 miles on now.

Need some advice. Ordered a Lava Red 2012 GT in July. Recd call last week from dealer and was told Lava is being discontinued. Had to pick a color on the spot because my order was being "pulled", as he put it. Walked around the lot and found another car, an Explorer, I think, in Kona Blue. Sparkled beautifully in the sun. My question is will I like it on a Mustang

Wow holy thread highjack Batman, you should like it.

In response to the op, you should not need an auto for consistency till you hit the 10's, other wise you need to work on the driver mod.

Do the 2011 Mustang Gt's have the manual tranny problem or only the 2012's?

The 2011's and 2012's are both unfortunately plagued with the problem.

You will likely be happier with Kona than you would with Lava. Kona has its querks (purplish when real cloudy)...but it's freaking awesome at night and when it is sunny!

Hi!

I responded to your message, but then I saw this. I personally LOVE Kona Blue, so I think you are making a great choice.
