Hi, I have ordered a DEEP IMPACT BLUE EcoBoost, Manual, withe Custom Pack, and can not wait to get it here in the UK. The stats so far are interesting. Judging by it, when mine comes, it will be quite unique, compared to the rest. And will definitely turn heads in my town ! I’m so excited. I love the Mustang. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Well done Ford !!!!
