What would you change about your Stang (desired options, regrets etc. )?

I definitely wish I had Hid's on my 12'. I have always hated the faux gas caps, too gaudy. Other than that, perfect.

I think the GT/CS is great; however, with that said, I detest the fake side scoops and that flying wing. The black plastic they used on the bottom of the wing is a real pain to keep black!

If I could have ordered the car without those, I would have. And, a HUD would have been nice.

Ordered my 13 my way.... No spoiler, no stripes, painted blk 19s .... Love it. My only regret, is not ordering the performance package for my vert. Would have loved the upgraded brakes now.

I'm starting to regret the 3.73. The highway mileage is terrible unless you go under 68 MPH and keep it below 2000 RPM. On a 500 mile trip, I got 21 MPG running 75 MPH with the cruise on most of the time. I think the 3.55 might be better all around. Brembos would have been nice, too.

Love my car, but Race Red was the color I really wanted, just didn't want to wait after I drove my Kona Blue Beast. Still when I see a nice red stang, I get a little wistful. I also wish it had memory seating position. When my wife borrows the car, it takes me a while to find my sweet spot again. Luckily it scares the heck out of her!!!

I regret wanting the heated seats as much as I did because they're decidedly mediocre. And I'd like to have HIDs. Other than that, I'm happy with mine. Brembos were a thought but In reality, that would have just meant more expensive brake jobs and tires for no real benefit. If I ever race it, I'll need heavier duty stuff than those anyway.

I should have gone with the base model and not the premium with all the options I got. Saved money and got a better stereo. I wish the Recaro seats had a heating option come winter though.

I must be the oddball here, as I like everything about my 2011 V6....

One addition will be a better sounding exhaust.
