So, the GTO sale had to be pushed back due to the snow storm that blew through that weekend good news is that it is now happening this weekend!

Also, got an email from the salesman saying my car was delivered to their lot today! Hoping to sell the GTO and pick up the FRS this Saturday!

Right on! You might miss the torque of the LS1, but the fun to drive factor of the FR-S makes it a pretty easy pill to swallow. I got my Ultramarine late last June, and I don't think I've put 500 miles on the Mustang since then, lol.

Dam 5 months, more than what I waited when I ordered my car back in March of 2012.

I feel the same way about Hot Lava, my (very close) second choice. By far my two favorite colors. The paint code for Hot Lava makes me laugh.

Ooo, Ultramarine - so stylish, so sophisticated!

You thought the test drive was fun, wait until you get to do your first mod.

Put an order for an ultramarine 6-speed for spring delivery (I'll go through this next winter on the GTO and save the new car for better weather).

Know it's not much of a thread, but I am just VERY excited. I absolutely can't wait until I take delivery...the car made that much of an impression on me (and I'm pretty difficult to please).

Congratulations sir. You won't regret it! Cheers!

I would have to agree with you there, I believe it's H8R (my mind just reads Hater). Nonetheless, I'm biased but both colors look brilliant on the car.
