Very nice.. exactly what i ordered..

Is it just me or the way this color photographs, looks either really light silver in bright light , or very dull dark gray in others..

but in person it sparkles in deep dark shades

Almost looks greenish to me , but I'm probably color blind.
Now saddle WOULD look good with green.

I think the SG would look good with the red interior upgrade.

That color must be so hard to catch the metallic in a pic. What are the options? From what I see, it looks really good. I think there are a few of us on here waiting (and waiting) for similar cars. When was your's built. and congrats!

Didn't you see in that other thread? I've given up on a GT for the time being. I'm pretty enamored with a Black/Saddle V6 MCA Performance Package. That's a mouthful, eh? I don't really care for the V6 front fascia, but for some reason I love the MCA grille on the black V6 front. I quickly customized it in my head this morning and I think I'd be very happy with it, for a DD at least...

I was just messing with ya man. I think in your case, an '11 V6 PP would be the way to go. Just as fast as a '10 GT.

Nice car OP!

Pretty much everything you can check with the exception of the glass roof.

The ambient lightning has a huge impact on the final photo, plus my camera is probably not the best, and I am probably a bad photographer. Some pictures (same angles) would show very differently because of the light around being slightly different.

Red interior is one of my favorite, but I ended up picking a "classic" dark interior.

The car was ordered about two months ago, and I took delivery this Monday. I feel your wait, hang in there: they are coming.

It is tough to get a picture showing how the metallic "pops" in the sun. I have
taken several in different light but probably need better camera to let it show.
Is a great color and have gotten many compliments, even more than I got with
the 05 redfire...........

Try taking some pics at dusk, with the flash off, with the sun behind you. That should give it a lot of depth. Mess
around with different ISOs and be sure to use a tripod/monopod.
