Thanks for the pic of the Candy Apple GT/CS AFblue. That's great!

It looks real good to me! I can hardly wait untill mine comes in..... .

I'm also looking forward to see pics of yours when it comes. Any word on it yet?

Thanks Don for the picture. Beautiful Mustang. Is it a California Special?

I'm anxious to see pictures of your Vista Blue 2008 Shelby GT Coupe when you get it.

Have they told you when she is scheduled to arrive?

Thanks Mustang Ed!

I'm anxious to see it too!

I called my sales guy today, who left a message with the schedule guy. He's supposed to call me back if he hears anything.

It good to see pics of the new Candy Apple red though. It gets me even more excited!

OK, I just got the call, my car is going to be built next week. Should be here next in late August!

Nothing yet. It was supposed to be built this week, but it hasn't been "blended" as of today.

Yes it's a GT/CS
Have not heard when it's scheduled to arrive. I would guess October.

I agree. I like the candyapple red, but I like the redfire just a little bit more because of the metallic.

Both colors are metallic. Maybe you can see it more in the redfire, then the Candy Apple.

Well, if we didn't already have our 2007 Redfire, and I was buying a 2008 Mustang, I'd be getting the Candy Apple Red ftw!

Hey Guys this is a great site. Can't wait to get my new ride this September.
Like a couple of you guys I ordered this DCARCM site unseen, but now that I've seen it in person... ...it looks AWSOME.

FLAstang: Torch Red remains and RedFire was replaced with DCARCM. So there will be two Reds.

Later...

there are metallic in both but the redfire has a more distinct metallic to it than DCAR. its there but very faint. only in really bright sunlight will you see it. other than that it just looks red. i had to get really close to see the metallic.
