I'll put more info up tonight - may be late, gonna be out all night driving!!!!
I wonder if the '11s exhaust note will get louder and richer as was the experience with the '08/'09 Bullitts? Mine sounded much better after a few thousand miles were on the clock so get it out and drive!

I live in Dallas and have a black 06... it's not easy even in Dallas. Good luck though!

Well, maybe the California Duster and some quick detailer. On the other hand, I enjoy cleaning on my cars (when it's not 105 outside).

That's good news to me. I like a beastly car that can still be civil.

I'm also starting to think I really need to thank them for switching my order to a stock order, seemed it worked out well.

These last couple of hours waiting for them to detail and paperwork are KILLING ME!!

I definitely will if I have it by then. I'm in the West Frisco/Little Elm area so that's not too far away.

Grats baby! I know it's been a longgggg wait.

Question: I know you (like some of the rest of us) watched your ETA date come and go and then go no further updates for a while. Did you get any change in status when your car was scheduled for transport and/or on the truck?

Congrats as you will probably be the 1st TMS member to get your 2011 GT !!

Did your car ride the rails to Chicago then switch to a truck ??
or
Being that close to Flat Rock, did it just come by truck ??

Just curious !!

I find the closer you go in to closing time the more of a sense of urgency they have to get your work done. The finance person runs things through and the add-ons person doesn't care that you don't want the paint sealant and fabric protection.

First impressions:

Very fast, Auto transmission is pretty responsive. Fun, very fun. I'll put up some detailed opinions, but for now its off to play again.

Needs a louder exhaust for sure though, that will be the first mod for me.
