Yes, they make different options for different tastes. They are all good, just different. It is suppost to be dry here tomorrow (What a Change!) and I will try and get some pics of it.
Glad your enjoying yours and have a some miles on it. I have had mine for about 2 weeks and really only had it out once. I have about 125 miles on it.
Regards,
Phil

Thanks Sharpie! No mods yet and the standard package. Like the ride and no plans to track the car, so the standard package is what I wanted. Kinda like the wheels & wide stripes of the standard as well, but they all look great. How do you like yours? What color combo? Take yours to the track?
Thanks again,
Phil
Thanks again,
Phil

Phil, good for you! I'm 53 and I get the "you only live once" thing. I have a 2005 that I race each season and a 2011 daily driver. While Shelbys have never been my thing, I came REAL close to buying a new Boss. If they're still part of the lineup in a couple years, I'll definately cross that one off my bucket list.
Oh, I get the wicked fast part. The next upgrade for my 2011 is definately going to be a good set of brakes. It's just too easy to get these things up over a hundred on country roads...

I know what you mean, I got mine first week of March and it seemed like it rained every day for the next month, lol. Mine's an '11, and I don't regret getting rid of my 08 SGT nearly as much I feared I would. I do still miss it though, just didn't have room for that many toys.
Actually, I am very happy with the Shelby & Cycle I have now
Now maybe another Harley again in the spring

I absolutely love my car....can't stop grinning every time I drive it. I'm a big fan of the standard wheels too, just wish they were a bit wider in the back. Mine's just a fair-weather driver......for now. But love the mods I've done too -- headers, H-pipe, blacked out emblems and VMP power!!
Thanks for the picture!
Looks awesome
Phil

I am thinking a lot harder now, **** it, what will ford give me for my 2011? I wonder? I own it free and clear so it would all go to the shelby's down payment so at x plan price of 44-45 I would think it would be doable, there I go again justifying it, god I just don't know.
Chuck Norris, what should I do? I need your wisdom

Seriously, I was in the same situation, so I went for it and am glad I did. Never know when we will get another change to do it again!
Let us know what color you get Nate!!!!

Good luck on getting a BOSS and keep us all posted when you get it!
Phil
PS...Great idea on upgrading the brakes as well

Congratulations, in for the photos. Yeah the 5 DOT 0's are plenty fast so the GT500's must be rockets. My Boss 302 should arrive in about a month and it's going to be all I can do to keep the speed under control. I'd be in big trouble if I was buying a car this fast and I was still in my 20's.

I bet your counting the days until your BOSS comes in. Kona Blue is a sharp color. That was the color of my 2011 5.0 GT. Be sure to keep us all posted with the arrival of your new BOSS 302!!!
