Same. For me it was Kona, Sterling Gray, or Race Red.

its not just the calipers, the brembo pack comes with stiffer suspension, a "sport" traction control mode, and those 19x9 wheels. it's sort of like the sports package for the Z.

this is standard on all models.

Same. But some bitchy little girl I know didn't want me to get grey, and I couldn't find blue or red :icon23:

Stopping distance is close. The base brakes on the Mustang are decent and stop within 10 feet of the Brembos on average, much of this due to the difference in tire compound. The real difference is the Brembos can sustain repeated abuse (i.e. track environment) where the base can't.

Aside from the Brembo brakes, the Brembo packaged cars have different shocks, springs, tires, and stability control tuning. Our sport mode is a little more liberal than the base... we can do more before it intervenes.

We also sit on Pirelli PZero summer rubber vs. the base PZero Nero all seasons, which amounts to quite a big difference in grip.

True statement, i've almost died a few times trying to out-accelerate oncoming traffic to make a right hand turn, far too much power for the all seasons to handle.

Sterling gray was actually my first choice as well, I had to get away from the Red 370, I got 5 speeding tickets in the year I had it, so I decided to go for a more neutral color that hid dirt well and kept me out of the eye of the 5-0.

I have a base model, it has Traction Control Off, Sport Mode, Advancetrac off.

keep in mind, before you get too excited about 3.73 gears, a coworker and myself made the same trip to Frankfurt last week and he averaged 21.2 mpg, while I managed 24 with 3.55's, also, if you plan on supercharging, you might want to stay with a 3.55 or 3.31, you'll need the tall gears. Lethals cars are both running 2.73's, kept adding that they run out of gear too quick and have to shift into 4th before the finish.

Crazy. Ford lists it as part of the brembo package, and at least one base model I drove didn't have it:confused: wonder what the deal is

I was at 25-26 mpg with 3.73s on the trip to ZDayZ, fwiw.

Sounds like a Brembo is a must. Ok... I will go that route. However, my sales person introduced me to a Race Red 2012 (new of course) that might be cheaper than ordering new. Your guys' thoughts on Race Red????

I really like the race red, aside from the flash factor, its a great color.
