Another "help me decide" thread

[V8Stang15]

Two very different options right in front of me and I'm about to close a deal:

Shadow Black w/ white stripes - Tech Pack

Or

Race Red w/ white stripes - Track Pack

???


Help me! Haha. A few bits of info: the price difference is only $1000 between them (black over red), and I might only track once a year. Otherwise, I'll be enjoying road trips and winding country roads.

I dont think you can go wrong with either. Personally id do the red and white...looks great.

 

[livvyshae]

Black with white. But, seeing a race red stang cruising down country roads is a nice sight to see as well so I understand why it may be so hard.

Only downside of a black car is every flaw is to be noticed up next to it, other than keeping it clean I love mine.

Red with white stripes looks awesome. Probably easier to keep clean as well...... And you will find yourself wanting to keep it clean

Mine is a Race Red Tech and I couldn't possibly love it anymore. Then again I have yet to track my car and deal with the limp mode BS. Given that you will be tracking your car it would seem that the track pack would be the way to go. But, go with whatever meets your needs. As I have said in other threads, we buy these cars for the Motor, The sound, the suspension & the 8250 redline.

Each to their own but it would be a no brainer for me with the first choice being the Race Red with White Stripes and a Track Pack.

The deal breaker for me would not be a Tech Pack versus a Track Pack but I remember ordering my first 2012 Boss 302 in Race Red with White hood, roof and C stripes and it was outstanding compared to the Black hood, roof and C stripes in that same car.

Red and White is very cool in my opinion but again Shadow Black is also a favorite color of mine as I have 2 Shadow Black GT350's and 1 Rudy Red on it's way.

Good luck with your decision and let us know what you finally decide!

Go with the Red, black hides the lines of the car too much

Hope the pictures of my 2012 Boss 302 in RR with White stripes comes through?

You know you want to go with the fastest color...

And striped or not, Race Red cars are just meaner looking.

Forget colors the Track Pack is cooler and will be more collectable in the end.

Well, in case anyone is wondering:

The stealership (__name removed because I don't feel like starting crap__) reneged on a trade-in deal last minute. What a waste of an hour-long drive and 3 hours in the stupid place. I was leaning Race Red with the Track Pack.

 

[Shift]

Well, you don't see many dealers having 1 star on yelp. That sucks man. What's your plan now?

Back to the grind, I suppose. They said sticker, but that's definitely not happening all around the country so I guess I'm out of luck. I'm upside down on my trade, so that limits my options. I'm good to finance for about $72k (comfortably... could be $72k after putting about $3k down and I'd still be good) for this car, but I'm upside down about $15k, so sticker was the only way I can make it work. Being $15k upside down on a Shelby was much preferred to being $15k upside down in a GT.

I'm just very limited with this negative equity. I have a good amount of play here with being able to finance up to $72,000 and having a credit score of 760, but that negative equity is killing me right now.

Seems like the sooner you roll all that into the Shelby, the better, since it'll hold its value better. Good luck to you man, and keep on the lookout on the forums also. I saw a post from an awesome member here about an MSRP deal at his dealer, and I immediately PM'd him, got the dealer info, and placed a deposit right away. My car should be delivered to the dealer within the next week or two(fingers crossed).

Also, keep an eye out on the Down and Dirty ADM thread, there were MSRP deals posted in there also.
