Just arrived at my local Seattle Dealership today. CFTP with Black Penske Stripe. The metallic paint is pretty incredible, even covered in transport dirt. Color is much more striking in person than any photo I have seen.

Thanks Jaime!

Been waiting a short while for this car to show up. It was built on March 4th, but as we all know the Penske stripe adds significant time to the delivery process. Probably should have waited on the stripe until the SA visit later this year!

Will get some more pics when I take delivery.

Would like to see a pic of carbonized grey against magnetic, doesn't appear to be a significant contrast. Congrats on buying buying your wife a new daily driver... :sunglasses:

It's a fairly significant difference. More so in person.

Congrats! I had a magnetic gray Mustang GT PP2 which was an incredible color. For definitely knows how to choose their grays well.

It is interesting how the sunlight changes the color of the magnetic and the carbonized gray.

"Thinking" of trimming this out with Red Pinstripes, Red Accent Cobra Emblems and Red Mirror Caps to match the Brake Calipers, Roll Bar and 5-Point Harness.

Either that, or get into the Carbon Fiber thing. Dunno, just thinkin'...

Then off to Matador91 (he's the best detailer in the Pacific Northwest) for Paint Correction, XPEL PPF and XPEL Ceramic Coating. Oh yea, and SLiPLO Scrape Guard is a must have.

Really liking this color in the sun, it reacts like Iconic, just darker.

Here are some pics of the Carbonized Gray Metallic with a Magnetic Shelby SS for comparison.

Day is overcast with some sun, and the car is not washed only hosed off. It will soon be properly detailed and inspected prior to paint correction and protection by Benchmark Auto Salon.

Again, photos do not do this color justice. You have too see it in person. :like:

And I note the 2021 Predator Engine was built by the same person who built my 2020 Predator! Adam Stier! Good man, that Adam! :sunglasses:

I saw a GT500 in person at my dealership the other day and one thing I noticed was just how massive the exhaust tips are. They don't look big in pictures but wow I honestly never seen an exhaust tip that big
