Got My New 5.0 !!!

Well, after placing the order late in April, car was scheduled for production on 05/17/10, and delivered to the dealer on 06/03/10, I picked it up this Saturday :D

I got a 2011 5.0 Grabber Blue, GT Premium, 401A (charcoal black interior, color accented seats, door trim, dark aluminum trim), 3.73 axle, HID lamps, security package, and Brembo braking system.

I have had many Mustangs including: 1998 GT, 2 X 1998 Cobras, 2003 Mach 1, and a 2004 Terminator; and all I can say is that this is the best yet! Power, braking, handling, fit & trim, sound . . . just love it :worship

Special thanks to Jeff Kasman at SunCoast Ford in Port Richey, FL. Jeff was absolutely great, kept me informed every step of the way, delivered as promised, and honored X-plan. Great folks at SunCoast :bigthumbsup

I am a Ford man, but did consider a Camaro SS (briefly) and a Challenger SRT8; but I am so happy I got the 5.0! I love this car.

Good luck with all of your orders and cars.

Congrats! Looks awesome! Looks like they are starting to finally fill more orders. It will be nice when the let them all loose. It's fun to hear fist impressions.
awesome choice congrats on the new ride. i was actually looking to get one within the next year or so, how much would a model similar to that set me back, 30k, or more?
lucky man!!! id love to get me one.
definitely a sweet ride!!!
Looks great. Those wheels are startung to grow on me. Congrats!!!
Congrats! :bigthumbsup
Wish Mine was here!! Beautiful color, my favorite by far!!
Congrats!

I ordered a white car with the identical options save for the 3.55 in lieu of the 3.73.

I am so confused as to how Ford is determining which cars ship out and which are stuck in Area 51.

Since our cars are basically identical I hope it skips the holding pattern. It is supposed to be built on Wednesday of this week.

More pics, especially if you can get some later afternoon shots with soft light.

This is very confusing....and angering. Mine was produced 3 weeks earlier and the ETA was over a month ago. Dealer has no idea why it is being held, and Ford customer service just said ALL 5.0s are being held, but this is obviously not true. And she said she did not know the reason for the hold. She also said no V6s are being held, and this, also, seems to not be true.

I'm happy for all who are getting their cars, but sure not happy with Ford right now.

Auto or manual?
Sorry, should have looked at the pics first. Nice car.
Mine pretty much spec'd the same....ordered 1/22, built 5/4, promised 5/17.
I cant imagine what the hell is going on down there.:fuming:
hey felo sweet car is that shifter stock?
Thank you all very much, I appreciate all comments. It is a 6-speed, and the shifter is stock. Pricewise, it is highly variable and dependant on a number of factors. Mine ended up at $34K. I will take better pics in the next few days.

Again, thank you for all great comments and support. Hang in there, all of yours will come before you know it. Good luck !!
... and the shifter is stock.
That shifter is part of the 401A package.

Beautiful car, best of luck.

I wish mine was here.
Congratulations! What a great car. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine. I love that shifter. Mine is the 400A so did not get that one. Solution- getting the Roush when it becomes available.

Enjoy !!!
