Thanks, while I am an automatic guy, I went with the 6 sp manual and Im loving it. The gates are real close and you have to be pretty precise on gear changes, its easy to hit the wrong gear, but not a problem. Good low end trq, Im sure that is variable valve timing coming into play there.

Interior is nicely layed out, the fit of the different sections are very precise.

Nice car...I hear those 5.0's really rip.  I fear the day I have to run against one with my '07 GT, lol.

Nice :). Those new 5.0s are nasty and make ridiculous power.

You've got the same interior as my '12 grabber blue Mustang. The interior is virtually the same between the 12's and 13's.

Love the Grabbers, I almost went with Deep Impact Blue, they are purty too.
