Default GT/CS package-worth it?

I'm still trying to decide on 06 or 07 and I've seen some pictures of the Cal Special. I think it has 2 tone seats which I like but I'm not sure if the package is really worth nearly $2000 extra. Is anyone else considering it or has anyone ordered it? Would it take longer to get one? I read that because it's relatively limited production, it may be sought after as a collector car.

I personally dont like the way it looks... just looks wierd to me. JMO ..I wouldnt pay extra money for a few different parts that I would probably end up replacing later on anyways.. (hood, side scoops, and a stripe in the middle of the door)

I seriously considered it when I saw the first spy shots. Then the order guide came out and it doesnt come with a hood scoop and is not being offered in the colors I was interested in (inside or out). So I went with a GT instead. I think Ford missed the mark, it could have been something really cool. If they had bumped the HP up by 50 or so, that would be something worth having!

Does it come in only the white? Because Ive seen many pictures of it but none in any other colors.

The '07 order guide lists it in Redfire, Vista Blue, white and black. The interior colors are limited to black/ parchment and black/ dove.

==can someone post a pic or site for it i still havent seen that ==

See this page:

The top pics are production models. The yellow one was a prototype.
