My 2010 Sterling Grey GT Coupe
I got my '10 on the 11th day of the 12th month (how's that for wacky numerology) by trading in my 2007 Tungsten grey GT coupe. The new car is a GT Premium with charcoal black interior, 3:55 rear gear, 19" nickel wheels, and security package.
I wish I could have afforded to keep both, however, as much as there are some things I miss about the '07, the new '10 is MORE than making up for them.
A couple of observations, which I suspect have been shared here by others -
1) the interior NVH is MUCH improved as compared to my previous '07
2) either my ears are fooling me or the induction sound tube does enhance the engine sounds into the cabin
3) the revised suspension for '10 does enhance the "feel" in around-town spirited driving (I'll be interested to see it on an autocross course)
4) the interior fit and finish and material quality modernize the experience while giving hints of the heritage
5) the lines of the hip look awesome in the side view mirrors
I haven't taken many photos since I've been driving it the past 2 days A LOT...more to come later.

That looks great Tony. Great choice! I have a 2003 Dark Shadow Grey vert, and I parked it next to a 2010 Sterling Grey vert on Friday and spent a few minutes comparing. I really like the color of the 2010, and I could not make out much, if any, difference at all in the two colors. Both cars were a bit dirty though, so it was tough to tell.
Is the paint code the same for the two colors?

You know we won't rest until we count town to #1, right? It'll be the "Twelve Ways of Mustang" - hopefully no partridge in a pear tree, though.

Did you, by chance, visit 4 dealerships?
Or talk to 3 sales people?
BTW, the '01 Bullitt cam after the '07 GT? Wasn't that taking a step backward?
