Ford has a new color for the 06. Its called Tungsten Grey. I picked mine up two weeks ago and the color is great. Just got the windows tinted and the color is hot!

I have a black one and it looks good but if I could do it again I would get blue or yellow.

For your first car I'd recommend getting something you can crash without being heartbroken.

i second that! i have been racing since i was 14 but even with my experience i still wrecked my first car in a week. i had a 78 fairmont with a built 460 C4 and 9" rear. it ran 10.80's on the motor. fast car not a good choice for new drivers on the street.

Web sites won't show you jack! There are too many different parts available so go to 7-11 and pick up a few magazines- Modified Mustangs or 5.0 Mustangs... Web sites are notorious for not having the product in stock! Stick to the mags, write down the prices and then call the 800 #.
Oh, and stic=k to getting a V-6 if you're really that young. 300 HP and new drives don't mix!

One thing to keep in mund about colors...they call it "arrest me red" for a reason. Since you are going on 16, you may want to keep it a color that won't draw attention to the po po, cuz your insurance will be outrageous as it is...I'm jealous, I had to wait until I was 41.

Yeah you probably shouldn't bother with a brand new car.....look on ebay and see what they have or look in those catalogs at the gas station or newspaper to find the best deal.
