Is this really a 2011 GT500?

No photos of the engine, but I thought HIDs were standard on the 2011........or can you delete them in favour of the standard headlight?

Still, $60k is outrageous for a 2011, never mind a 2010

Yep, 10th digit = B which = 2011. First '11 pic (or '10 even) I've seen without he HID's. Looks much better to me. I also thought HID's were to be standard on '11's...

To each his own. I ordered a Sterling GT but if they offered something like "Root Beer" brown, I'd be all over that!

The "B" means it's a 2011. 2010 had an "A"... Next year will be a "C"

HAHA, I think the lights in that show room are doing that car no favors. Last week I looked at a Sterling Gray 2010 F-150 and I loved the color. It really had no brown in it to speak of. I think it's just the yellowish lights in the show room.

that is not a 2011 in the pictures, the vin does not come up when i ran it for a sticker. my guess is that the dealer was using a similar 2010 to represent a 2011 they have on order or they are just pretending a 2010 is a 2011

Yep, its a photo of a 2010. ALL 2011 GT500's have HID's, Theres no option to delete them from an order.

I agree... The look of the HID looks too "European"

Combination of poor lighting and poor cell phone camera aren't doing that car any favors. I've seen the Sterling in all sorts of lighting conditions, and never once did I think it looked brown. If anything in some lighting, it looks brighter than it actually is.
