Pulled the trigger and pulled out of the Shelby race
Well, a couple of weeks ago I pulled the trigger on a new car, and I ended up not getting a Shelby. At first when I heard about the Shelby I thought it was the car for me for sure.
But the more I read about it but mostly, the more I got jerked around by dealers, the more and more I seriously looked elsewhere...
So w/o any more here is my new toy. I worked with Pioneer Centres in San Diego (I live in TX) and the car just arrived today. They were first class all the way, and while the car is dirty I thought I would post a pic.
I will still frequent these boards, as I still love Mustangs, but I may be spending a little more time on the twisties

Yeah, it is a Porsche Cayman.
And yeah, it is a totally different feel. And while I do still love the Shelby (and will probably really love a Boss if they make it) this car just felt so right the first time I drove it...

it's surely better than all small Japanese and German roadsters.I once drove the Boxter and I must say that man can fall in love with Cayman because how it drives ,not because how it looks.If I were You I would take a Vette,but it may be just a matter of taste.
Enjoy Your ride and buy a used GT500 some day

Congrats on such a cool car. I really like the look of the Cayman. Plus it looks awesome in that Cobalt Blue. If you don't mind me asking, what does the base Cayman run anyway? I didn't know that the base was out already.

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words and I hope you all are able to get your Shelby by working with a great dealership it just was not in the stars for me.
And 05fordgt, the MSRP on a base Cayman and what one can get one for differ a lot, in the good way, if you are willing to shop around for it...which is why my car came from San Diego...I was right around invoice when all was said and done.

I wonder what the turn of events would have been if you would have chosen a GTO instead.
