I would go with the top one. It's a sharp looking car with the 20" rims.

Without going into politics, not a lot of love for the CA version, ha! I would love to have the dark pony version with the blue but I can't find it with the combination I want. I.do.not.want.black.interior!

Thanks for the replies so far!

NO.you.do.not.want.a.black.interior! It's like being in a dark cave every time you get in the car! I can't stand that.

Order one with a space gray interior and a dark pony option. No charge and FWIW. FD1

The CA package has blue interior, which is very cool I have to say. I don't want to order a new car: at this point I am looking for a great deal on a 2025 at the end of the month, or I'll wait for the 2027 release - which might be a refresh. So I'm stuck to what's available.

I don't understand why dealers order the black interior. I guess it's safe? But this is not a SUV we're ordering.

They order black interiors because "everyone" will accept one......except for me.

2027 is not going to get here with the govt. shut down. Always, make your own deal. "No", is the key word in doing that. They want your money and you have it until you say, "yes".

Of those 3 I'd choose the first one, but I would want the night pony package with grabber blue or race red. Black accents just look so good with both of those colors.

The first one. I like the red, but stripes are starting to look dated on these cars. You cant go wrong Grabber Blue.

I almost bought a Grabber Blue C/S from a private seller before I got mine. Most people dont know the interior is different and its looks very cool. That said, the exterior stripes do look a little goofy and the Azure Blue accents on Grabber Blue is an acquired taste. They get bonus points for being more unique, but the execution is a little lacking IMO.

And for those who would automatically exclude a C/S because of politics...you might be taking things a little too seriously. 🤣

20” rims makes the car feel more planted on the road. Without the performance pkg I feel it is a must. You will notice the difference. Take it for a spin. Red w the stripe looks cool. Mine has the stripe so I’m bias and it gets a lot of complements.

19s are preferred for better handling. That's why they come on the PP and DH cars. What you may be feeling is the K brace that comes on the 20s. I added the K brace and strut brace on mine and it definitely made it feel more planted. 20s look great, but you do compromise a bit on the ride comfort.

Wow, compared to my 06 GT, this car feels like a Lincoln on 20's. I can't imagine how nice the ride is on 19's.

Middle, but I'm not a huge fan of the 20 in wheel package. I think the wheels themselves look good but just prefer the standard size 19 in wheels for comfort. 20s will most likely give you a harder ride.

I think I narrowed it down to the blue one with the CA package. Right now I can get it for $8k under MSRP (13%) so that's a great deal. Maybe I can even get it a bit lower.

Here are the options included, am I missing anything important (I know that the performance package and/or Brembo's are very nice, but I feel I don't need those for my usage)?

That's got all the important stuff. You don't need the upgraded Brembos off the track. 👍🏻
