Default New model...

Today I bought a 2015 ILT black on black with the Z51 appearance package. I a good deal at $56,585. They gave me a grand off. Not too bad. I need to get some pictures tomorrow.

I sold my 14 a while back when I moved to a new house. Good to be back...

Sounds great - congrats. BTW, Z51 is a performance package, not an appearance package.

I think he meant he got the ZF1 - "Z51 Appearance Package"

Yes it was the ZF1. I think the salesman told me a Z51 package. I love it so far but really miss the dual mode exhaust that my 14 had.

I'm going to upload a couple pictures to the photo site and then post...

The red 14 Mustang GT California Special in the picture above is what I traded in.

Awesome, welcome to the family. Have you considered installing the Z51 sway bars on your ZF1? It's an inexpensive mod with a lot of bang for the buck.

Cheers

I have started looking into mods...the Z51 sway bar is not bad but exhaust is up there in pricing!
