Now I get it.
I saw your first comment. Now I think I understand.
I started looking at getting a new Mustang when the 2011s came out.
I was really disappointed when SG was discontiued. Was going to get a
Lava Red/Saddle car. but the Tsunami messed that up. Saw SG was
going to be available again when trying to order the Lava red and made
the switch. Had to wait 6 months to get it but it was worth it.
Hoping to take it on a trip this weekend with my wife to visit my daughter.
It'll about 700 miles round trip.

Awesome! Every time I see a SG pic, I know I ordered the right color. I don't know how you were able to wait that long, but very cool that you have it now. Hope to join you by the end of December...

The trip was great. The car is very nice for long trips. I now have about
1500 miles on the car. I've added a GT500 spoiler in place on the stock
one. Bought some Magnaflow Street axleback mufflers, haven't put them
on yet a litte too cold in the garage right now. I've been driving my F150
most of last week, it snowed last week so I'm waiting for the roads to
clear off before I take it out again. They use salt on the roads here in the
winter don't need that on my car.
Oh got pretty good mileage first time out 26.5 mpg. Not to bad
considering how new the car was and the fact I was doing 70-75 mph
most of the trip.

It handles great, maybe a little less than optimal right now because I have winter tires on it.
I'm use to driving cars with performance suspensions on them.
Even my F150 has a Roush suspension kit in it. Its lowered 2" in front and
3" in the rear with better shocks and bigger sway bar.

What about the PP did you want then? Most of the cost is the wheels and tires. You could've ordered the 3.31s separate and put the rest of the money towards aftermarket suspension components...

Yea, I Liked everything else that came with the package (engine cover, tower brace, breaks, control arms, sway bar). Thought I could sell the wheels and tires once I get the car and then get the MCA wheels and whatever tires I want. A best of both worlds from my point of view.
