I have wanted a mustang since I was 14 and started reading Mustang 5.0 on the shelf at the local grocery store. Now that I am settled down a bit in life, I have taken the plunge and made the purchase.

Everyone, say hello to Sasha







Sasha is a 2008 Mustang GT w/ manual transmission. GT Appearance package, Interior Upgrade package w/ Tan leather seats, ambient lighting and Sirius Satellite radio.

 

welcome to MFs... very nice looking.. this is Dark Candy Apple Red yes ? =D

 

Hello there and welcome to the forums!

 

Yes, that's the Dark Candy Apple Red. I have already gotten some comments on the color. I was a bit skeptical about it at first (Was going for a Black or Blue one when I went to the dealership), but I have really warmed up to this color.

 

wow.. you must be inside my head, lol.. i'm going through the very exact thing... wanted black, then blue.. decided on the DCAR... dang she looks sweet... my prod. date is tomorrow!4.9.08 w00t.. and ETA 4.19.08 chompin at the bit.. what color interior did you get?

 

I've never been a fan of ANY red but when I saw the Candy Apple Red on the new stangs, I have to admit. I like it! My wife's Escape is some sort of metallic red and it's just too dark. The CA Red is just right though! Nice car!

 

Sic ride, I love those wheels

 

I got the tan interior (I think Ford calls it Light/Medium Parchment). I'm in Texas so I am hoping that makes the seats a bit cooler during the warm summer months.

Good luck on waiting for your new ride. What options did you get on your order?

BTW, the best part was X-Plan pricing through my company meant no negotiations, which was nice since this is my 1st new car (1st car was a used F-150, then I had a used Intrepid for a little over a year)

 

welcome..looks great!

 

ahh tan.. that's cool.. yeah, valid point, didn't even think about temp. i went with Dark Charcoal (black) for everything.. (i'm in ky - so i get swings of both hot & cold) but i'm getting the windows tinted so that'll help out alot..

oh man.. i got everything but dvd & navigation.. here's a copy of my window sticker: http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums...st&id=6715

but that doesn't even begin to tell the story.. i've already bought over $4k in mods for her.. lol.. i got Roush Rear window louvers (p-coat matte black) i got a matte black Roush 3-piece rear spoiler, i got Dark Candy apple red Roush 1/4 window louvers, i got DarkCandy apple red 3dCarbon 1/4 scoops, and a matte black CDC aggressive Chin spoiler.. gonna take the factory GT appearance package scoop and probably paint it matte black too.. or just wait to get a shaker kit... i'm not 100% sure on the scoop yet.. i'm gonna remove the GT badges on the front fenders, and i had custom ones made up (which i showin my avatar (skull flames)from www.autobadges.com ) got a 12" black chrome annodized aluminum stubby antenna and a bunch of smaller things.. sequential taillights, rear deck black-out panel tons of interior mods, a bunch of paint that i'm gonna tackle myself.. my list is huge.. lol..

i'vegot a drag-pak for her... 90mm CAI, 4.10 rear end gears, shorty headers, high flow oil filter, short-throw hurst/ford racing shifter with a red carbon fiber shift ****, i'm getting a magnaflow cat-back system for her, and tinting the windows... then maybe in a year or so, i'll supercharge her +135hp.. =D should put me somewhere in the 500hp range..

this is my dream car, and i'm able to do it up right, i will keep her till i'm buried in the ground! =D

oh yeah.. i got X-plan too.. =) i completely agree.. this is my 2nd "new" car, but my first one i've ever ordered custom with exactly what i want. i'm keeping my 99' F150.. gotta have something to haul junk with.. oh man, i can't list all the vehicles i've had.. i've pretty much had something from all the"american makers" and the plymouth was made by mitsibushi, so i don't think it counts.. lol, i've hadjeep, dodge, chevy, buick, olds, plymouth, and Ford of course.. i always go back to Ford.. =D when my stang gets here, we'll have 3 Fords in the driveway.. w00t.. lol..

i was kinda shocked seeing how little the X plan took off the car, considering i was used to seeing large amounts removed from trucks & suvs... but every little bit helps i suppose.. =)

hope i didn't bore ya.. lol..
