Wow... looks like Ford finally got a red right.

Oh! Oh! Watch your rear view mirror for smokey! They love red cars! It is beautiful! Drive it well! GlennMan it’s been a crazy couple of months.
Finally, after signing paperwork 2 months ago and having the dealer go get the vehicle- only to have a stop sale force the deal to be unwound, we were able to re sign today and pick her up:
My wife named her “Lightning McQueen”… I said- sure… why not? Anything to get her involved and loving it.
2025 Mustang GT
301A, Manual, Performance Package, Active Exhaust, Red Calipers…
Had D Plan through my son who is a Ford tech, plus the $3500 rebate, so paid just over $49k for the $58,600 MSRP Mustang.
I think that was a pretty good deal.
My wife giggled and smiled all the way home (hour plus drive), with the Active Exhaust in Track Mode the whole time.
What a joy to drive!

The white stripes and silver rims are a killer combo with your red! What a gorgeous ride you have! Are you thinking of wrapping the body-painted spoiler? I’m going to get mine done…..need to break up the silver in the back…..either black PPF or maybe going for the ford performance gurney flap spoiler that is already painted in black….it’s just a little on the pricey side…about $1100 Canadian.Congrats, love my Race Red. It's a head turner. I couldn't imagine any other color getting the attention this thing does.![]()

How much did you pay for that PP spoiler, if you don't mind me asking. Mine came with the '24 PP wing which I have recently replaced with an OEM HP wing. Figured I should sell it but not sure how much it's worth. Also just chucked the back seat, but not sure who would want that since it has the custom blue stitching from a Dark Horse.Congrats, that is a gorgeous looking car. Good call on the active exhaust, track mode is fun but there are times when the low end rumble is a bit too much for me. Normal mode still sounds great but eliminates the low frequency drone.
I also really like the PP spoiler. I recently swapped out my standard blade spoiler with a PP spoiler take-off I bought on ebay. Really happy with the overall look.
I think I paid $300 for it, plus shipping.How much did you pay for that PP spoiler, if you don't mind me asking. Mine came with the '24 PP wing which I have recently replaced with an OEM HP wing.
