Like the Tungsten.

The vert makes my 06 GT vert at $33,000 look good!

Well now that I've seen some real close pictures of Tungsten I have changed my top three for color preference.

1) Vista Blue
2) Satin Silver -What I have now
3) Tungsten

Man that Tungsten is sweeeeeeeet. Looks great with the Bullitts too.

That Shelby looks like it's "Black Jade". Really cool paint in person.

I ordered an 06 with Tungsten but it looks darker than the Detroit show car....Any inputs on this?? I'm not sure I want this color anymore because of it looking so dark. HELP

The Shelby is Highland Green; it was just in bad lighting.

I was referring to the Mustang GT which WAS Titanium at the Detroit show. That Tungsten looks like a light grey and not a silver like the Titanium.

Sweet pictures Brad! I love the Tungsten! Looks great! and Holy COW yeah $38,190 for the Vert! I'll keep mine at $32,790 and the Bullits instead of upgraded wheels... thanks! Hee hee!


Edited to add: I agree that the Titanium pics do look even sweeter than the Tungsten tho!

That first pic of the red GT vert looks almost like Jim Skinner sitting there. "Daddy, how are we going to get rid of all these cars!" -Jim Jr.

I will NEVER forget those commercials, as much as I want to ...


:shock:

beware of the tungsten, see my other thread about tungsten.......just saw one in Oklahoma City today, it has a purple hue to it. I have one ordered and am thinking about a color change........It's not ugly, just not what I thought it was gonna be.
Any thoughts?

$38K for a GT vert? Any doubt now that there is about a snowball's chance in hades we'll see Shelby's out the door for the ballpark $39K they've been saying?

They have a couple of new v6 coupes at a local dealer here in VA. I got to look over tungsten in person this weekend and I got to say it's an upgrade over Mineral Gray for me.

That Shelby is sweet looking ride. Wonder if they'll let THAT Shelby go for the $38K that the 2007's are suppose to go for?

So...Tungsten and Titanium are different colors? I remember reading they were the same color. I still like the Tungsten even if they are different colors.
