Mine would pretty much echo what has already been said... but I guess my favs are:

It finally again looks like a muscle car. (even tho I did own 3 of the other not so muscle looking Stangs and have loved them all!)

The amazing ride for a Mustang!

Cruisin' w/ the top down.

The lack of wind noise with this Vert.

And the powerful feel you get behind the steering wheel!

You know the funny thing is that even tho I have my own... I still almost run off the road looking at the other ones I see... thank goodness I have a beater as a daily driver!

In no particular order......

First and second gear acelleration! Those 3:55's feal great!!

The growl it makes anytime you touch the gas!

The ribbed pleating of the seats, looks like my '69 I had!

Cranking it up in a parking lot full of people, they all look!

The blunter appearing nose, long hood, because of the wheels being moved forward!

How smooth and effortlessly the motor winds up!

How good it stops!

How solid the entire car feels!

MyColor and IUP!

The speed volume feature and the Shaker 500 overall!

Plus many more......

10. Able to make an impressive smokey burnout to impress the kiddies and myself, heck I never had to replace tires but one time in all the years I've been driving, think I'm due
9. Fog lights, never had them before and really dig 'em.
8. Automatic, no more leg cramps in traffic or scratching 3rd every time I try to get on it.
7. No more stomping it to the floor and taching out every gear just to merge onto the highway! (my last car was an 03 Civic)
6. Sounds as mean as it looks and has the power to back it up
5. Aluminum dash
4. Fun factor
3. Power
2. Styling
1. It's the car I've always wanted, even if I didn't know it until I saw one
