2011 GT/CS Daytona Pace Car

Got the call today to come into Ford to place the official order of the Daytona Pace Car. It is built as a 2011 GT/CS with these options:
Base Vehicle: 2011 Mustang GT Premium P8C
PEP Package: California Special 402A
Engine: 5.0L 4V Ti-VCT V8 99F
Transmission: 6-speed manual 44X
Options Required: Glass Roof 59G
3.73 Rear Axle Ratio 457
Exterior Color: Race Red PQ
Interior Trim: Charcoal black leather w / carbon insert 4W
Option Restrictions: Normal California Special Option Restrictions Apply.. (So no no on the Brembo but oh well..)

They will send the car and all the specific items to the Ford Dealer of my choice to install the pace car specific items.. Now what do I get my Ford rep for pulling this off for me?? 1 0f 50, I am still in shock..

Does the car have to be red? Is there another colour that would work with the decals? Could be a rarer car if so.

Very cool! Now the question is: knowing you have one of fifty, will you have the guts to drive it? I know I don't.

I think the car looks ugly - THAT'S JUST ME - but the rarity of it outweighs everything.

I saw a grabber orange 4th gen "Official Pace Car" once and it was pretty exciting.

Congrats
