Talking Just picked up # 5696!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I picked up my Shelby GT yesterday, it is white, came with IUP, wheel locks, Anti-theft, Sirius, heated seats, and the Shaker 1000. I got it for x-plan minus the $1000 bonus cash and 0% financing for 60 months. I test drove a Roush 427 the same day, it was a beast. It would have only been a couple grand more, but at the end of the day the Shelby looks better, handles better, and it is a Shelby. I can just Supercharge my Shelby and it will just as fast, maybe faster, than the Roush. For now it is staying stock with the exception of some Shelby parts. I ordered the Shelby Signature Mats, the lower Grille insert, rear License Plate Holder, and the Hood Pin Kit. I also ordered the 1/18 Diecast and 3-1/64 Diecast cars, one for me and one for each of my 2 year old twin boys!!!!!!!!!!

I am still debating the Shelby Print for $599. Anyone that has done this please give input.

Sun came out a couple hours ago, must go for a ride now.................

I will post pic's later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Glad to be part of the forum, look forward to getting to know you all!!!!!!!!!

I am glad you like your car, but I can assure you that any of the Roush Stage 2, 427r, 428r, Stage 3 and the like will run circles around the Shelby.

Specs are out there, take a moment to review them.

I'd rather have the shelby or my GT/CS as well. Plus you picked the right color.

Performance White is the best.

Really nice car! I like these in white, the stripes are more subtle on white, they look gray in some lighting, silver in others, even almost invisible at some angles. The matte black front and rear treatment really stands out, too. The white shift **** matches the piant on the car, and the black interior is a great contrast and very classical.

Agree on all points, some of the reasons I got the car!!!!!!
