Default Help me pick out my new mustang

Buying a new mustang soon and in a quandary. I can't get exactly what I want. Maybe some of you could offer a solution for me.

List of wants:
V8
Automatic transmission (to placate my wife)
Glass roof
Recaro seats
Brembo brakes
Charcoal paint
Boss suspension
2011 SVT wheels
and on and on...

See what I'm getting at? Help!

Good Luck with purchase, the AUTO tranny is great! Don't worry about the opinions of others and buy what you want.

As stated good luck with your purchase and if those are the list of your wants, get the mustang that matches that list. It took me about a year before i made my final decision. At first I was going to get a V6, but was able to save more money than expected and was able to purchase a V8 with low monthly payments. Overall, hope all goes well with your purchase.

Thanks for the well wishes. I guess I'll be more specific. The perfect car would be a boss 302 in charcoal with a glass roof and automatic. BUT there is no charcoal, no glass roof or auto with the Boss.

Plus I want to completely cover all the black plastic and the seats with some custom leather and alcantara something or other. And I don't want Sync or a nav. I have that in our 2010 and I'm not a fan. I'm going to do an Ipad integration and aftermarket stereo.

I guess I could buy a GT base model and completely customize the whole car except I can't get the glass roof or charcoal paint with that either!

welcome aboard - the good thing about a 'stock' pony is, you pay less, and leaves you alot of modding options (You buy a high end package, and then find yourself taking off the expensive parts you paid for, for your mod parts!)
