Note the 'vert is rated for 30 MPG highway? The coupe 31 MPG. . .

The MCA wheels are a lot better looking in person than I expected. They'll look good with Kona Blue.

I also thought the fenders of the MCA package were going to get the tri-bar pony emblems but just "Mustang" in the tape stripe. So if you get the tape stripe delete, I guess you get bare fenders.

The color of the wheels was my only concern with the MCA package but I pulled the trigger anyway. How do you think they'll look on black?

The sterling wheels don't look too great with candy red

I think they will look awesome on kona, white or black though - no doubt!

The MPG rating would be based on stick vs. auto. Not on coupe vs. vert.

I think they'll look pretty good with black. I prefer chrome with black but these won't be bad at all. They did look a little weird with the Candy Red though. But they are way more "metallic" than I expected. Lots of glittery goodness and a nice clearcoat on them.

Not so fast there sparky! They're BOTH auto. Look at the window stickers.

That is probably manual vs. auto

I copied the photo of the window sticker for the V6 and zoomed in to read it good. Where it shows Hwy fuel economy in smaller letter it says; 31 mpg, expected range for most drivers 25 to 37 mpg. On long trips driving around 60 mph I bet this car can get 40 mpg. A 300 hp American made car that gets 40 mpg! How about that? Love it.

I'm sure the MPG difference is between coupe and convertible due to aerodynamics.

The official HWY MPG numbers when the EPA released them were ...

30 / 31 Coupe / Conv AT
29 / 29 Coupe / Conv MT

... so this is correct !!

No 2011 models are listed on EPA site (last I checked), but I had read this somewhere.

The only thing I don't like about the V6 model is that the hood kinda hangs over the front bumper. Can I put a GT or California Special bumper on the V6 model?

I also thought the premium included color-matched side mirrors. Is that just on the Pony Package?
