Nihl's new V6.

I had to make her her own thread at least once. I thought here was appropriate.

Now I just have to come up with names.

Haha. Fair enough. I only had my iPhone. And one day in this NY spring, and she's covered in a thin green film of pollen. When driving her you'd think she's green/yellow now. I have to put out for my products and when I wash her in a week I'll put up some intense pics.

But here are the other two I took with the phone that day:

She handles better than I thought. At first I was on the verge of regret getting a V6 instead of a GT. But right now the V6 makes better sense for me as a commuter and as someone on their way to graduate school. But I didn't want to compromise That much.

After a few days and a 300mile drive to CT she's coming into her own. It's a smooth ride, but powerful. And not the boat-smooth of the Challenger/300 (same car!).

The car is near silent, you can hardly hear the engine from the inside. I haven't been on the outside and let someone rev her yet.

At first she was guzzling gas and the shifting was a little awkward, but these things are definitely changing for the better. I have 400 miles on her and she's just totally enjoyable to drive. I have to say I love the car.

Ingrid, so happy to hear it all worked out in the end for you! The car looks great and I truly believe the '11's are the best Mustangs ever.

Thank you so much for all of your help! You were so informative and gave me peace of mind several times over.

From what I know and have experienced so far, I think you just might be right!

I can't get over how good your car looks! You are starting to make me rethink the MCA package

That looks really good, nicely appointed. I would love the glass roof, but I went easy on the options to keep the cost down.

I was a bit annoyed that my dealer didn't go over the MCA option with me before I ordered. But the over all reviews have been that family and friends prefer this grill.

MCA is very distinct though and a nice looking add on.

I think I have decided to change my plans to order your exact car...almost - lol

Going with black pony pkg, HIDs, 3.31, security & glass roof - but I am going to add the billet grille at some point, since that is the part of the MCA pkg I like the most

What is your opinion so far of the glass roof? Do you love it?

How much is involved if you change that grille?

As for the glass roof... Totally love it. It's the 'wow' factor for anyone who sits in it. The shade is opaque enough that it's no problem to close on a sunny day, and when you want it open it's a unique experience. I hate convertibles..but i love this roof.

That is great news! I hate verts too, so that wasn't even an option for me! Not sure what it will take to change out the grille, but I imagine it won't be too hard since it is a direct swap

Do you find that the black on black with the glass roof gets any hotter, or does the shade keep the temp down pretty well?
