Yeah, I'm going to drive it after work today. I'm still not sure if I'll get it. That depends on how the test drive goes!

I'm not sure if the shocks are different or if the valving/set up is different. I do remember that guy "Groot" saying that the Brembo pkg was set up specifically for the Pirelli tires so I'm sure there is a difference.

Well, the test drive went pretty well. I think the Brembo package does have a different set of shocks like that article said. The car that I ordered felt a lot better then the one I test drove at Texas Motors a few weeks ago. He sent me out by myself, so I drove it all over the place.

I liked the car, but I wasn't so in love with it that when he low balled me on my trade in I walked! lol

I did a little bit better with the six speed this time since I spent a few minutes dry shifting to get a feel for the shift pattern. But, I still got bit by "skip shift" when a light changed to green as I was coming up to an intersection. I down shifted from forth to third, but if I hadn't read about this on the forums I would have thought the engine had problems! lol

If I don't end up with this one I'll get another one further down the line. I just got worn out by that six month waiting period!

Also saw a black 2011 GT at work today. With the Brembos on it......

Update! Five Star just called and they said that they'll give me what I asked for on my trade in. So, I guess I'll go down there and pick up the 2011 GT.

Thanks!

I went down and got window tinting done at Alta Mere. I went 30% on the side windows, and Limo on the back windows. It's so dark I can barely see out of it. lol

I hope it's still legal?

If I remember correctly it should be 35% on the front doors. It looks good though.

I put my order in today!

Yeah, the front windows are 30%. It's just the rear that is limo.

Congrats on your order. What did you end up ordering, and did you order with Five Star?

Did they give you a good deal? I know someone at Five Star gave you a below X-plan price. Did you get better then that?

I got X-plan, the $500 rebate, and the $750 Ford privat offer for a discount of around $3200. Pretty good!

I really had some fun yesterday with this car. I'm glad I got it now, even though I waited forever.....

Order is in the system as of yesterday. I have the VOC and just waiting on the DORA. Hopefully job 2 will go smoother/faster than job1.

Oh, you got a job 2 car? Maybe that's better anyways?

They were telling me that the Mustangs were coming in only 5 weeks. That means your could be here by labor day!

I just got back from taking some co-workers to lunch. They were pretty impressed with it. One of them was maybe thinking about getting one. But, he lives about 35 miles away, so I doubt he will get one.

I went to Mid Cities Mustang yesterday, and saw this nice fastback. Very nice!

Job 2 supposedly starts August 16th so I don't expect it to be here anytime soon.

I saw that thread. They look nice together!

Thanks!

I'm sure you'll enjoy your car when you get it. I don't think you'll have to wait nearly as long as I had to......

Also, did you ever test drive a 2011 yet?

I have no doubt that I'll enjoy it. Still haven't driven one.
I hope it doesn't take forever either!
