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.

 

Congrats on getting what you wanted! Can't wait to see pics of it.

 

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!!

 

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

 

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...

 

You bet! I need more garage space as well. Too many toys and no place to store them LOL!!!

Actually, I am very happy with the Shelby & Cycle I have now

Now maybe another Harley again in the spring

Phil

 

Thanks Eli.

I hope to get some pics later today!

Phil

 

That is one sweet car!

Thanks for the picture!

Looks awesome

Phil

 

I don't know about Chuck, but if it were me, I would do it.... Wait a second, I did

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!!!!

Phil

 

Thanks JW. It sounds like you have fun racing and that is something I have never done. I bet it would be a hoot though! I do not street race as to me that is too darn dangerous with everyone not watching what they are doing now a days. Too many people texting, talking on their cells, etc. Plus, it just isn't a good idea. I like to get up to the speed limit quickly and a short blast on a country road that is void of any other cars is fun as well.

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

 

Thanks, and I actually Spanked an '11 GT500 at the Track two weeks ago, my 12.0 to his 12.30...Guy was PISSED..lol...

 

Awesome, congrats. Post some pics.

 

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.

 

Wow! Sounds like your 5.0 is tuned very well and you may of been the more experienced driver. Too bad the guy was upset as they are all great & fast cars. The main thing is to have fun and if your going to race them, do like you did, do it at the track! Wise move!

Phil

 

Thanks Al. Will post some pics soon!

Regards,

Phil

 

Hi Rick,

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!!!

Regards,

Phil

 

That is wonderful and best wishes and happy miles with your new Shelby.

 

Lets see if this works!

Another try here to insert a picture! Looks like this may work. What do you all think?
Thanks much,
Phil
