timmm55 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Colors are hugely subjective. But some are just so God awful I don't get it. I assume the first is "Gotta Have It Green" as it appears in the Ford web site. I can't find the second green........and hope I never see it in the real world. http://www.netcarshow.com/ford/2013-mustang/800x600/wallpaper_07.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I believe the one on the right is the Gotta Have It Green. I don't mind either color honestly. Not many cars can pull off bright hues. The Mustang can. :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmm55 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 A snip from the Ford Build your own, base Mustang GT with "Tech Package" and Brembo brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Hmm. Looks like the other is late availability or something? Thought I remembered seeing a Boss 302 in that paler shade... Edited March 21, 2012 by NickF1011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmantpw Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) I couldn't find the "Track Apps" either........is it part of a package? My guess...the "GT Track Package", but I'm not certain... EDIT: after looking, I'm probably wrong...is it included in the base? Edited March 21, 2012 by fordmantpw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 My guess...the "GT Track Package", but I'm not certain... Doesn't appear to be. Might be a late availability thing as well. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track apps is only on the Premium V6, Premium GT and GT500, not on the base versions (V6/GT) or the BOSS 302. That's what they have on Build Your Own for standard interior features. Odd not having that in the BOSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all of them, I would put money on the BOSS being the most likely to see the track...even more so than the GT500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8-X Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 While these aren't too bad (much prefer the one on the left), I just can't see purchasing a car of this color because it dates the vehicle. Certain colors out there you can simply look at and know it's an 85 or 95 or whatever. I prefer more timeless colors that don't automatically date the vehicle.

BOSS 302 is considered a "base" model as was the original! Odd to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Looks like the same green someone painted their house in my friends neighborhood...I think this would look great in their driveway...HA and they wonder why no one in the neighborhood talks to them anymore... On a side note, the antenna location in the back looks horrible and tacked on at $30K+ thats an issue that should be fixed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it's a $22K car base.........but I agree with a $3000 upgrade stereo/Nav it should net you at least a power antenna! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That looks almost like the Kermit the frog green from the 1970's Pinto, maverick and Mustang II models. But today's Mustang wears it well. I wouldn't buy it though. I'd rather see a british racing green or the greens of some of the 90's Fords. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We had an '06 in Legend Lime, and got compliments on that color all the time. The 2 cars pictured: The left looks to be a variation of Lime Squeeze (as seen on the '10 Escape, IIRC), while the right looks to be a much more blue-tinted florescent green. I'm praying the lighting conditions in the right picture were just really bad, and the Gotta Have It Green is more in line with the left photo.

LINK The color is OK (I would prefer dark blue or grabber orange), but those wheels kick a$$! And that mustang projected onto the ground from the puddle lamps...that's just sweet!

Certain colors out there you can simply look at and know it's an 85 or 95 or whatever. I prefer more timeless colors that don't automatically date the vehicle. The styling of the S197 overall dates it already in my opinion. Look at some of the great hues that were on muscle cars of the late 60's/early 70's. Sure, some of them are obnoxious and bold, but they just seem to belong on those vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibinubu12 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 That and the Grabber Blue are tied for first on the current Mustang in my eyes. If I could afford insurance on a Mustang, I'd have a Gotta Have it Green 2013 in my driveway instead of the Blue Candy 2012 Focus in a minute.

fabfordeb Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 We're thinking of getting a 2013 Mustang convertible, and for us gotta-have-it green is our gotta-have-it color. We love it. I like the greys, silver, white and reds too, but we broke the mold in having conservative colors when we got our 2012 Rubicon in Dozer Yellow. Jeeps and Mustangs in bright colors are great and they can handle it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford should have just re-released the 1970 Grabber Green or the Medium Lime Metallic from the same year. IIRC The bright solid Grabber colors were selected by Shinoda for the Boss 302s to work with the stripe packages he developed for those cars. Of course they were available across the line as well, my first car was a Grabber Blue 1971 Mustang. Another favorite green was the Deep Emerald Green from the 1990 special edition Mustangs.
