New 5.0
Well, decided to bite the bullet and picked up the black 5.0 you see in my avatar pic. Was wondering when we might get these in at the dealership since they were on hold. We got two in, both black - 1 coupe and 1 convertible. I've been burning up the roads in the North Atlanta 'burbs over the past 6 days and have loved every minute of it. This vehicle will run rings around my '09 Challenger RT.
Brembo Brake package
6 speed MT82 gearbox
GT coupe accessory pkg 5

Navigation
HID headlights
Anti-theft pkg
I liked the wheels on the CS pkg and had intended to order one but Brembo brakes cannot be ordered with the CS.
So far, my MPG based on a tank of gas is 15.5 MPG. This includes driving GA400 to and from work, 25 miles each way. Obviosly MPG was not real high on my list when I bought this car.
We have a speed shop in the dealership and will let him work his magic on it after I have had a time to play with it some more.
Have fun and drive safe.

post road, bethelview, GA400, Roswell Road, but mainly GA400. Wife drove the Challenger tonight; she and I played leap frog all the way from exit 6 until we came upon an Alpharetta police cruiser alongside 400 exit 10. We resumed at exit 11 and took exit 13 off GA400 towards home. We didn't do anything stupid, just havin' a little fun. Mustang 5.0 is definitely faster than the Challenger, but the Challenger does well considering the weight.
