I placed an order for a GT500 today!

Right before Thanksgiving my dealer called me with two bits of news. First, he is feeling far less sure of winning a KR which he had said would be mine for the asking, and secondly he has one GT500 allocation left and asked if I wanted it instead of gambling on him getting the KR. My wife told me to go for it, and after days of agonizing over choosing a color, I decided to go with Vista Blue w/White Stripes which is the exact opposite of the FGT. It's probably gonna be a long wait, but well worth it!!! :banana

SONIC vs VISTA Blue

Just a note on the colors...the Mustang shown is Sonic Blue as are the strips on the White GT's. VISTA Blue if I recall, is a lighter, smoky looking blue..
Just please check so you are not disappointed.

Thanks Chris for the pic. Looks like we are going to be twins! I need to show my wife that pic when she gets home. It may be my new wallpaper until I can make my own picture :)

Andy, there's only one blue available on the '08 GT500 - Vista Blue. There is another blue avail on other '08 Mustangs, called Windveil (sp?) Blue, which is a lighter shade.

Thanks, guys. I'm excited!!!

Ford hasnt done Sonic Blue for I think 3 years or so. Sonic Blue has more of a purple hue to it. The only blue the GT500s are offered in is Vista (dont think they are even available in Windveil - which is much lighter).
