Whats the difference between the lighting that is stock and then the accessory lighting kit you can add onto the base builds (and is that the same ambient thing that the premiums have?)

Also, Zack, what is the button that is next to the hazards on the right...is that a traction control button?
I think the accessory lighting kit adds some of the premium's ambient lighting. I don't think it adds the cup holder lights as well as the lights in the door panels. As for the button next to the hazards, yes that is the traction control on/off button.

Update on mpg

First tank calculated by hand: 24.2 mpg
This is with 10% city and 90% country backroads with about 2hrs of DC beltway traffic as well. Next tank is already looking to be over 25 with the same driving!

I live in southern Maryland close to St.Marys. Where in VA are you located? Just called and confirmed that the car is indeed there! So as long as no one buys it between now and 9pm this evening I should be all set!
Why would they sell your car to someone else? That brings a good question.....wonder if someone would pay me a $5k premium to get mine? Might be worth waiting another 6 months. LOL

I didn't order the car. It was a stock dealer order so no one had laid claim to it including me... I just was lucky and showed up and made a deal before the other 5 people behind me could come in. I am absolutely sure that if someone walked in and was willing to pay their $2300 "market price adjustment" they had plastered in the window I would not have gotten the car.

So...there was a $2300 "market price adjustment"? Did they try VERY hard to get you buy into the mark-up?

They actually didn't even try at all. Came up with MSRP without even trying to get their markup. The whole process seems odd now that I think of it... Everything seemed to go in my favor to easily.. It works! But still very odd.

Ford Mustang 2015 V6 Manual (3.55 diff)
My dealer just got a Competition Orange with the same setup as my Oxford White on order (EDD 12/23 and climbing). Since Competition Orange was my second choice I bought it. I'm picking it up tomorrow at 3:00pm. It's a V6 manual with 3.55 diff as the only option... I'll give you guys my full review (and pics) after the weekend. Doing a proper 0-60 might be hard because of the snow and ice but I'll give it my all.

Congratulations!

Now, we will get to see your report sooner, I guess. Looking forward to reading your impressions of the V6.
