That's a different blue altogether. That's Grabber blue; Yes, it's available on a V6 but IMO I think I like my colours a little less flashy, atleast for a daily driver. The 93 Cobra I posted is more of a metallic teal rather than a flat baby blue. Although, when I buy my Shelby ( ) it may just be Grabber Blue.

I think he said that the grabber blue color would get old after a while. Pretty sure it's available on the V6 also.

I like the color a lot myself but I can agree with him. Also grabber blue seems to look quite lighter than the blue Foxbody that he posted.

sorry, was on my phone. I tend to type up a post in the quick reply box, then get sidetracked, then come back and post it later

Lol, I'd tell you to get a 5.0 too but your already set on the V6.

pokin

wha?

S A CHO

Nothing like getting a 300hp rear wheel drive car just in time for winter... The decision will be made this week.

S A CHO

Apparently cars ordered now won't be built until the end of September, which means I probably wouldn't see it until the end of October...

Good things come to those who wait...

...I guess...

SouthernBoy

Anything worth want's worth waiting for.

I ordered an '88 Mustang LX 302CID in October, 1987 and took delivery 13 weeks, 3 days later on January 19, 1988. Stupid CAFE requirements were the reason.

the GT is $4k cheaper

S A CHO

Sure, plus importation fees and applicable taxes, and I'm at the exact same price of a Canadian GT

ghttf

sux. I like the gray one without the scoop things.

S A CHO

I think the gray would be the best for daily driving duties, so that's most likely the colour I'll go for.

Mowgli

Really? I thought the fees were only about $400. You pay the HST at the border same as you would at a dealership. Freight charge may be cheaper in the US.
The reason I would buy the v6 in the States is for the performance package availability..

-A 3.31 rear axle ratio for quicker off-the-line acceleration
-Mustang GT coupe front and rear stabilizer bars
-Mustang GT front struts and rear shocks/springs
-Shelby GT500 rear lower control arm
-Unique 19-inch wheels
-Pirelli performance tires for improved grip
-Mustang GT front and rear brake calipers with Performance Friction pads
-A strut tower brace for increased body rigidity
-Unique electronic stability control calibration with Sport mode for performance driving
-Unique badging

With Ford Canada employee pricing going on right now (ends the 31st) its not really worth buying in the US. When its ends, its a different story.

S A CHO

This is true.

About the performance package, it's not really something I'm interested in. I don't plan on taking the car to the track, and even if I did I'm sure it would do fine as it is, the stock V6 suspension isn't nearly as soft as you probably think.

you going to option the 3.73 lsd?

S A CHO

Not from the factory. It's a cheap add on afterwards if I do decide I want to do it, and I can get it through Ford Racing to keep my warranty in check.

I really like how the gearing is set now. It's quick enough off the line and cruises nice and low on the highway. I'd have to drive a V6 with 3.73's first to decide if I'd even want them.

Also, the package I'm getting has a LSD already.

Its amazing that you can get a special ordered BMW made in Germany faster than you can get a Ford built in Michigan!!!

S A CHO

Tell me about it!!

The amount of orders that Ford is receiving is insane. A buddy just ordered an F-150 and wont see that for 8 weeks as well. I found that hard to believe seeing as most dealerships are packed with them.

Type34

Hmmm...if Canada is getting employee pricing, I wonder if the US isn't far behind (although sales here have remainded pretty robust).

Congrats OP on the choice of the 2011 Mustang V6...you'll love the 3.7L V6. I have it in my Mazda 6 and it has all the power you'll need for a DD.

Enjoy dude

Maybe they finally realized it's makes more sense to carry fewer days inventory, this reducing capital costs and limiting the need to blow out inventory at the end of a model cycle. Anyways you order this car or what? The way this is going will pop his cherry before you order.

charliemike

It's the same engine? Wow. I didn't know that.

Dude you need to get yourself some exhaustseses for your 6!

S A CHO

Tomorrow night I'm going to the dealership. I'm going to try and work a GT/CS grille into the equation. It's not a deal breaker but if I can get them to throw in the grille I'd be really happy. The grille comes standard on the Mustang club of America package in the States but in Canada we get no such luck. It would be rare in the future to have a Canadian V6 with this grille installed from the factory.

charliemike

The only thing that makes me sad about the V6 is that you can't get the red leather interior

Other than that, a V6 the way I'd order it is $7k less than the GT ...

The Dougler

iTrader: (1)

you decide between saddle or black interior yet?

S A CHO

It's going to be black. The saddle is nice, but I didn't even second guess going with black.

Hapa DC5

torque delete option?

charliemike

I think you're looking for the "0n1Y r34l h0nD4 p33p5!" thread for that feature

S A CHO

It's actually the torque reduction option. 280ft/lbs is more than enough to get me to work in traffic.

Obviously you've never driven in the snow.

S A CHO

I think I'm going to leave on the summer tires for the winter, it's usually not that bad up here

Hapa DC5

I heard Canadia winters are pretty mild. Just like Cali right?

Hapa DC5

Sorry man I'm not a true Honda enthusiasts because I don't want to drive a fucking gutted econobox with a K24 bottom end and a Si head to make mad power yo......

I thought all manufacturers had it.

S A CHO

Yeah... sort of...

Unbelievable... Isn't this a Honda/Acura forum?

dom

S A CHO, so what are prices like? I realize you're getting employee pricing but are dealers willing to take anything else of? Not sure about the V6 but the difference between invoice and MSRP on the GT is about 3K. Are you getting anywhere near invoice plus employee pricing?

Hapa DC5

Is it?

dom

Most are waiting 2 to 3 months, its insane.

There's a black GT optioned exactly the way I want (save the hood scoop)at my local Ford dealer. Its been sitting there for about a month and a half. So tempting.

Hapa DC5

do it.

dom

It will be a toy, have to pay it in full. Need more time.
