Thanks again Brian! And at the fear of looking a gift horse in the mouth - have you figured all the possible color combinations for the two tone stripes? My dealer's good hearted and a good friend, but I've been getting better info from you on this thread lately.

Kevin

 

Hi, Kevin, glad I can help. I have tried all the possible color combos yet, but I'll try to today so I can post 'em up.

 

Brian, just let me know if the red two-tone stripes are available with Kona Blue or Sterling Gray. Thanks.

 

I tried every seat with every stripe for Kona Blue and Sterling Gray to see which would work in the order banks with the two-tone stripes (which requires the SVT Performance Pkg). The two-tone stripes are very limited!

The only two-tone stripes for Kona Blue is Red/Silver, but only with the Black/Red* interior.
The only two-tone stripes for Sterling Gray is Red/Black, but only with the Black/Red* interior.

I went on to try all other colors to see what two-tones you could get with the SVT Performance Pkg...

Silver: Red/Silver two-tone stripes, but only with the Black/Red* interior.
White: Red/Silver two-tone stripes, but only with the Black/Red* interior.
Black: Red/Silver two-tone stripes, but only with the Black/Red* interior.

Grabber Blue and Race Red are not available with two-tone stripes, only solid white stripes.

* Black/Red interior is a black seat with red stripes and appears to be the only interior combo available with two-tone stripes.

Knowing that the seat stripe has to match the outside stripe (at least on all other stripe offerings), I'm guesstimating the red seat stripe implies that the bulk of the two-tone stripe will be red, with the black or silver secondary being an overlay or pinstripe against the main red portion of the stripe.

 

Brian, is there any info as to whether the Comfort Package includes two-stage seat heaters for 2011? Also, are there any restrictions on the 64V wheels? And what about the Brembo brake package? Is that still only for manual trans cars?

 

The Comfort Package option code did not change for 2011 (still #53B) and the 2011 order guide isn't out yet, so for now I'd have to guess the single-stage seat heaters remain.

The 64V wheel (polished 19") is available on GT Premium only. But, you can't get them with the Brembo Brakes (which only come with the 64N painted 19x9 wheel). I know the Cal Spec comes with 19's, but couldn't find which wheels (only that the tires are 245/45/19).

 

Thanks for going above and beyond for the info Brian!

 

And the tires that come with the Brembo brake package are summer-only, right?

 

What do these two-tone stripes look like?

 

I have no idea. No one does until Ford releases some pictures for us.

 

Hey Brian, thanks for the info on the stripes. I would have messed around with CONCEPTS, but we're pretty busy the past few weeks and I'm on the floor selling cars left and right. Thanks for helping out.

 

In talking about the stripes, I just found this:

Sounds like from an Autoblog post :

We'll see some factory graphic options. I'd imagine those 2-tone stripes might be one of them.

 

Found this

 

I really like the off-center stripe; it's different

 

Interesting. This might make it super easy to get the custom stripe job I want

 

What Jeff said. Nobody knows yet. Sounds like they might be too busy for my taste, but could be awesome if done right. I can't help but imagine something like the '69 Mach 1 stripes that were multiple colors. I almost bought a '69 Mach 1 long ago that was white with flat black hood. The side stripes were red with black outline and gold lettering within the stripes. I somehow came together nicely. Perhaps the '11's two-tone stripes will look magical.

 

I like that one too.

 

Must have spent 20 minutes in CONCEPS trying every combo of color/seats/stripes to see which would take. Many of the color/seat combos force a "stripe delete" (46D) so we'll see many '11 GT500's with the SVT Performance Pkg w/o stripes, I suppose.

Glad to hear you're busy, Jeff. My guys could stand to be busier, but Decembers are historically slow for us before Christmas, then super busy like crazy the week after Christmas as we have so many huge local employers that are closed that week and payout big bonuses (i.e. Boeing, Microsoft, etc).

 

That's probably a safe assumption, but I couldn't find it in writing from Ford yet. Here's what it looks like in the 2011 Order Banks...

55D BREMBO BRAKE PACKAGE
.P255/40/R19 Z TIRES
.19X9 PREMIUM PAINTED WHEELS

 

Yes, that grey gt500 with offset stripe is nice.
I am curious to see the look from behind...
