well if you get the kona blue(my fav color on the 2011) you actually get both, because at night it looks black, and then once it hits the light, you see blue...i like that idea of it seeming like color changing paint

Okay some confusion here.
1. Car pictured has 19" Wheel Option with 245/45R19 All Seasons. These are not the Brembo Wheels.
2. Brembos are Manual Trans Only.
3. Automatics are 3.15 gear only. With the 4.17 Low and 1.52 3rd its not as bad as you think. Hits Limiter in 3rd at 112+ mph. Stock cars have run as quick as 12.8 and Tune Only cars 12.4.
EDIT: See you ordered a manual.

I just have to say that a glass roof is the worst thing ever for a car you want to handle. Obviously the OP doesn't care to much about cornering. Sounds like he is mearly interested in cursing and straight line.

Congrat's man! I ordered my 2011 similar to yours. I too chose a Kona blue GT premium / 6-spd manual / 401a(black leather w/grabber blue accent) / brembo package / 3.73's / security package. Lucky for me though, my wife can drive a stick, so I didn't have to worry about which tranny to buy. My biggest decisiong was color. Having had 2-black Mustangs I wasn't about to get another black one. Black is the best looking color when it's clean. But it's so hard to keep clean(yes, I'm **** about keeping my car clean). Mine should be here in about 2-weeks, so I'm tweaked. Waiting has been the hardest thing, but it'll be worth it when it comes it.

Wow... Drama. You make it sound like the car is going to flip over. Considering I'm not into autocross, I'm pretty sure I will not notice a difference.

Drama no, I hate that crap. But added weight on the roof is more noticeable there (from a handling stand point) than anywhere else on a car. And yes, it actually does make a noticeable difference if you were to drive them both back to back. I only know this because I have felt the difference in a normal Evo and Evo MR which comes with an aluminum roof vs steel. Theres only a 11lb difference in the two yet it was VERY noticeable that the car had a lot more lean in the corners.
Sorry you don't care about things that actually matter, but the truth is it ALL matters if your actually after performance. Now this is taking the thread off the OP topic though so I am going to stop here.
