New for 2008 thread

Doing a google search on "vapor silver" and stumbled across this thread on fordgt500.com.
http://www.fordgt500.com/forums/showthread.php?t=700

Lots of good info on colors, HIDs, interior lighting from the super moderator, 07 Shelby. Confirms much of what has been previously discussed on here.

I signed up on there and asked if he could confirm or deny whether Grabber Blue and Amber Gold are going to be 2008 colors.

Looks like Tungsten might be history after 2007. Silver Metallic and Vapor Silver confirmed (vapor was previously confirmed in a thread on here about the 2008 GT 500 colors).

It's funny watching the guest count on the fordgt500.com thread climb. Started at 2 guests 5 mins ago and now they are up to 9, 10, 11.

Great find Mark, it sickens me that they are doing away with Tungsten due to the numbers they are producing. Oh well!

I found out today that the HID and the interior illuminence is a package.You have to pay for it.I did see the prototype 2008 GT Mustang and the interior lighting are pretty cool.They are LED's that shine down on the floor on the drivers side,passenger side,in the back seat on both sides and in the cup holders.You can change the color of the LED's for whatever mood you are in.
Interesting...

Illuminated cup holders.

For the guy who can't find the hole in the dark.

Doesn't sound like retrofitting illuminated cup holders would be either easy or desireable.

Although...

That feature probably would be useful when cruising down the 101 at 100 MPH at 3:00 AM in the morning while swiggin' a beer.

Mood lighting? Why can I hear Jack Nicholson in the backgound "tell me you have more, tell me that people haven't held off buying, waiting for an 08, to get mood lighting".

I just bought my 07 a couple months ago.
I wish I had waited for the 08 model.

Well, unless we were getting another 50hp+ under the hood for '08, I'm content w/ the '07 I just ordered.

I'm in the happy camp with my 07 (...and no need for a weekend pass at this camp... ...)

Unless there is something really amazing from the factory, most of what is done year to year can be done and done better on and with your existing car.

Besides, if you are always waiting to see what the next year is going to bring, you'll never know the joy of setting spurs to a Stang and hearing her howl at full gallop...life is good at 300+ HP!

It simply means the car is going to be drop shipped to an aftermarket outfitter - i.e. Shelby.
