Thanks everyone - had it out yesterday for a little spin and was enjoying the sound of the super charger - I love that torque.

How do you like it? How would it compare to other cars you've owned? I'd LOVE to have some reference points from you as I'm thinking about snagging a hardtop in the graphite gray with black stripes.

I love this car - it is better than I expected from the test ride on. Still don't have 1k miles on it yet so I have not taken it to the limit. So I can't fully compare to the other cars I have yet.

I love the power, brakes and the handling is not as bad as I thought out of a nose heavy convertible. It's not going to a track so I'm not going to be disappointed. The sound is amazing, from the intake to the SC whine to the exhaust - all music.

The interior is great and I love the electronics package, 3D touchscreen NAV, address look up via phone number.... , Juke Box, voice activation, change the color of the interior lights and the list goes on.

Shifter is very short, clutch is easy and direct, steering is quick but not twitchy. For a daily (non bad weather) driver this is the car I hoped it would be. Patiently waiting to get to 1k miles so I can really break it in

Nice ride!!

After many years I got in a Mustang last Fall at a dealer and just could not believe how nice the car is now. What a great DD.

The perfect beach car!

Sharp looking car, I recently picked one up myself. I came from a 600rwhp '04 Cobra convertible and the ride and feel is night and day difference.
