Well I finally got to join this great forum and to say that I'm excited would be an understatement. I finally get to "be around" people that are just as passionate as myself about their own cars, let alone the Ford Mustang in general.

This past October my dream car, after ordering, finally came in. It is a 2012 Shelby GT500 in Race Red with the Perf.Pkg., Elect.Pkg., Recaro Seats and the Car Cover. The only thing that I did not choose to get was the Glass Roof. Not because I don't that its cool, but I just couldn't come to grips with not having the stripes going over top of the roof.

So far my car has only around 740 miles on it. You can blame the terrible weather here in Eastern Ohio/Western Pennsylvania for that.

Well, that's enough of my rambling, except that I wanted to thank all of you for your insight on these absolutely wonderful automobiles that Ford has produced, before i was a Forum Member, over this past year. Also I would like to give a special thanks to whoever is responsible for creating this Forum.

Please take of yourselves Gentlemen and thank you again.

Sincerely, Bill(BB3)

 

Here Are Some Pics....

 

Hellooooooooooo and what the heck kind of hp does a car cover give you?

 

Well.....It's rated at 550hp, but I think more importantly than that is the torque. It's rated at 510 lb/ft.

The car cover doesn't do a **** thing. hahahaha. It was worth it though, being that it has the Cobra & GT500 logos on it. I couldn't resist.

 

Wow... Welcome !!

 

Beauty! Welcome!

 

Welcome, that is a sweet looking car

 

Welcome Bill, nice 500! I'm just across the state line from you here in Beaver Falls.

Oh, and your right the weather freakin Blows here.

 

Thank You Everyone For The Warm Welcome.
Please Take Care Of Yourselves And Enjoy The Heck Out Of Your Absolutely Wonderful Mustangs.

Welcome on board, Bill

I'm in Ohio too, Columbus to be exact.

 

Well, I'm in Steubenville. You and I are so close to each other, it's not even funny 2011GB/CS. I'm sure we'll cross paths one of these days......Oh, by the way. Did I mention how awesome your Mustang looks ? WOW !

 

That's awesome POS VETT. I'm in Steubenville, so you and I only have a couple of hours separating us.
Who knows, maybe we'll run into each other one of these days. C-Bus is my wife's old stomping grounds and we visit quite often.
Take care of yourself and thank you for the welcome Sir.-----Bill

 

Thanks Bill I appreciate the props on my car. Maybe we'll meet up at a cruise sometime.

I'd love to have the seats out of your 500.

 

I've been to Steubenville a few times before many years ago. There was a sports car club hosting autox events at some technical school parking lot. I'm not sure if that club still exists today.

 

Yep. That was at Jefferson Technical College. There are still people who get together, but nothing like what it was back in the day.
There are still a few of us car guys around in Steubenville, but it seems like the younger guys are more concerned about what new cell phone is coming out instead of fooling around with cars.
I can't figure it out ?........

 

You're welcome. You deserve it ! As far as the Recaro's go......I'd hate to know what those babies would cost over at the friendly Ford Parts Counter, if you follow me ?
Whenever the weather straightens out we'll definitely have to get together.
All My Best.------Bill

 

Welcome. Nice 500. like the color combo

 

Welcome, great looking GT500.

 

I think i read or heard that the seats are around eleven hundred bucks. Ouch!

Maybe we can hook up at a big cruise that goes on every Friday afternoon/evening at a church in Wexford Pa. Its called Northway Church. Probably about 40/50 miles or so from you. They start Memorial Day wkend.

 

I've heard about that Church. A friend of mine who owns Vintage HiFi of Pittsburgh on Babcock Blvd., told me about it. I guess some really sick cars show up there.
Thanks for the reminder 2011GB/CS
