Jim, I might be able to help you out with that, if you're so inclined.

Our 2013 was ordered as a black convertible and the dealer tried everything he could to try to fool the system into letting him order it with blue stripes. But it wouldn't let him. My wife and I talked it over and she said that she liked my second choice of white with blue better. So that's how we ordered it. At least we got the seats with the blue stripes.
Everything happens for a reason bro.
I think the white with the blue stripes looks killer! Beautiful car.

I regret that three weeks ago I slowed down for a yellow light and the dumb bi**h behind me did not.

As I used to say as a toddler in my car-seat..."green means go, yellow means go faster!!"

But yeah, sorry about your rear end

My only regret is not getting factory nav in the GT500, I just wanted it.

I HAD to have a 2013 gt premium 6 sp, DIB, track pk, back up cam, security pk, comfort pk, and 401a.

I did NOT want nav/tech pk or a 2014 (it's an OCD number thing).

It was too late to order a 2013 win I bought and ALL of the track pks had been sold to Roush. There were literally none left in the US.

But I found a 2013 gt premium 6 sp, DIB, back up cam, security pk, comfort pk, and 401a. And it happened to have the Brembo pk and the 373 gears. Only one left in the country with this set up in the US 3 states up from me. So I jumped on it.

I kinda still want the oil cooler, radiator, and Torsen. But 98% of what I wanted is pretty **** good!

Lol, my kids tell me to "GO! GO DADDY!" While I'm stopped at a red light with cars stopped in front of me.

I regret that my Boss is starting it's sixth week in a dealer's service back lot with only 6,000 miles on it.

I have one and a half regrets. First, not getting the V6 performance package. The second half regret is not stumping up for the GT.

No regrets. I ordered mine and got just what I wanted. I drove twisty mountain roads yesterday and the SelectShift worked great. Today was all on interstates where I had no reason to want to shift and didn't have to, so the automatic worked great.

I regretted trading in my 2007 Alloy Metallic GT for a truck in 2012 but after two years, I could not take it anymore and switched back to a Mustang (2014 GT Premium). I only regret not getting the Brembo package but love my GT just the same

You can the Brembos easy from Late Model Resto. They have some other Big Brake kits too...I saw their Stoptech 13" 4-piston lightweight kit that would most likely fit under your stock wheels too!

I ordered it just the way i wanted it But It didnt have fog lights or automatic headlights because of the performance pkg. I figured a premium would come with those standard since the option to get them disapeared when I added the premium option but now i added them and have no regrets except i wish i could have gotten the v8 but then i would have hated all the gt badges instead of the pony logos and i dont like the gt fogs.
so i plenty happy with the v6 in that case.

None. '13 GT500 with everything sans glass roof and nav. 70+HP and 50+TQ in mods so far. BMR rear CA's, True Forged Competitions and Proxes 888's on all four corners. Kenne Bell 2.8LC is next. At one point I wished I'd gotten the glass roof but I've grown to be happy with the solid roof. It looks better with the stripes on the car to me.

Indeed. The only Chevelle in my opinion. Still an option as my next car but not easy to find nowadays.
