"Sweet Child O' Mine" - She Arrived

Oh mercy, Feels Like The First Time......

Love It !!! 2011 GT Premium (400A), Kona Blue Metallic, 3.55 Ratio Axle, 6 Speed, 19" Premium Painted Luster Nichel Wheels (64V), Security Pkg (43S), Over The Top Racing Stripe (47A) and GT Coupe Accessory Pkg 5 (945) - includes the Hood Scoop, Pedestal Spoiler, Side Scoops, Quarter Windows Louvers & Decklid Face Panel.

Ordered 3-18-10, Built 4-8-10, Arrived At Dealer 06-09-10, Took Her Home 06-11-10. Geez, what a wait, but she's worth it to me.

Just driving her and listening to: "My Midnight Rider" (Allman Brothers), "Sweet Emotion" (Aerosmith), "Foreplay" (Boston), "Sweet Child O' Mine" (Guns N Roses), "Feels Like The First Time" (Foreigner), "Carry On Wayward Son" (Kansas). Yes, I'm a old fart now, but feel like a teenager again!!

Grats man. Love the color scheme.

Did the system track when she left the railyard or did it just appear at the dealer?

Congrats, defiantly a great color combo. How does it feel with the 3.55 gear ratio?

Sweet car. Love the OTT stripe. Kona is by far the BEST color. (That's mostly for all the candy red guys out there. . . )

EDIT: Love the OTT stripe WITHOUT the filler panel. Scrolled down and saw the rear view and decided that looks... well... weird.

Still a nice car.

Beautiful and congratulations!! I know what you mean about the car making you feel like a teenager. I'm almost 50 and my 2011 GT does the same for me. It's a wonderful thing. Enjoy your new car and thanks for sharing your photos!

Jokerstars, yes the dealer tracked it, left factory via Norfolk Southern Railroad to Atlanta, Ga the via Allied Trucking to dealer in Fayette, Al. Nothing fast about the railroad, it sat in Altanta area going from yard to yard for a week or so.

NJ3, the 3.55 if perfectly fine to my taste. More pull/ torque/spped than I'll ever need. I chose the 3.55 since it was in the middle of the available axle ratio choices.

Nice Mustang. I'm happy your wait is over. The dealer i bought my V-6 from just got in 2 G.T.'s and a California Special also. Maybe the Mustangs are starting to move to their homes?
