Well, the steerig ratio being updated, the new steering wheel, the new gauges, th enew seat materials, and easy access driver's seat are all pluses. With the STP, the 2010 is almost just as good as the 2011 in the handling department, different story without it. Horsepower is the same. They have not changed it enough in my opinion to make it completely worth buying over a 2010, especially with the dealing going on with leftover 2010s. Now if Hemi Orange was available on a 2011, I might do it. I just think 29K for a new 2010 R/T Classic optioned the way I want and in my favorite color is a good deal.
Hmmm..... I test drove a black 2011 R/T the other day. Didn't realize the steering ratio had changed??? I did like the look of the new gauges. DID NOT like the new three spoke steering wheel. I agree.... not alot of differences. Ya check around for one with similar options (whether its in the color you want or not) and print out the best deal you can. Bring it with you and use it to get the best deal you can for the HO that you want.
Well got an offer for 10K for my Mustang, which I am going to take. If all works out, I'll pick it up Saturday. They are, however, not coming down on the price of the 2010. I still think $29,9xx is great deal for a car that was $38,500 MSRP. 29K even would be even better, but at this point, I found the car and color I want, and it is the only one optioned the way I want within 200 miles of me. The best quotes I have gotten have been between 7-8K off sticker for similar cars, so this one at $8,500 is the best I've seen so far. They said they'll remove the white side stripes for me too. I'll pay a lttle extra for the convenience of not having to ship a car of fly out to get it. Plus, I saved a little not having to list my Mustang by selling it to a friend. Anyone ever take off their Classic's side stripes, any issues? I plan to put black ones on in the near future.
Hmmm maybe they'll sweeten the deal and remove the white ones and replace them with black???? The stripes come off easy enough but there will be a slight amount of "ghosting" for lack of a better word. That ghosting can be taken care of with a little wax and buffing. But seriously..... I would see if the dealer will put on black ones if thats what you really want. The black side stripes look good on HO.
BTW I agree with you on the white side stripes. I prefer the black side stripes. Funny though the white full rally stripes really look good IMHO....:bigthumb:.....the 392 style even better.......:thumbsup:.....sorry Huggytree
Ahhhh....sorry SRTpwr.....please accept my apology. Let me remove my foot from my mouth. I really ment to say that I prefer black side stripes rather than white and was agreeing the the OP on his color preferance on the side stripes and got caught up in the moment. My apologies to any and all who were offended....... :7:
