Identical to Lee's blue/silver. The similarities between our two Shelbys are rather uncanny, considering both our GT500's are black/red. Though he had to go uptown and put silver pinstriping on his. 
I'm not exactly sure what it says that both of them were nearly identical to Lee's. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the possibilities.

It's just that, they know someone will pay the price for it, just like the guys who have Bosses and are convinced they are god's gift to Ford, rant over.

All kidding aside, I have to agree with you. No matter what all of the posters on the intarwebs say, that was one of my favorite cars. I loved that thing and I regret getting rid of it. Only reason I let it go was because I didn't have room for it. If I had it to do over I would have built another garage and kept it.
That car was fantastic, I don't care what any critics say. I got more looks and more compliments on that car than I have on the 500. And to tell you the truth, that car inspired more confidence on the road than the 500 does. I wanted more power, but when you stuffed it into a turn something about it felt reassuring that it was going to do what you wanted.
Don't get me wrong, the 500 will take a corner much faster than the SGT would, but if I'm honest, I don't feel as confident going into the turn that it will, its only after exiting it that I breathe a sigh of relief when I cook it in really hot. The 500 has actually scared me a few times, hoping it would stick (of course I was no where near its limit) but I felt anxious.
I never once felt that in the SGT, and its grip was nowhere near what the 500 has in the same turns.
