Hey Warp, what color did you order?

Agree with you about orange stripes... I might remove the white stripes on my 2011 Grabber Blue (once I get it) and paint two nice orange stripes with black trimming.

They have video with exhaust sounds links! I can't see them though cause I'm at work...


Ricky,

I have Sterling Gray on order, though I am "thinking" about G.B and some fancy paint work...

The sound of exhaust when they start the engine on the silver car is quite impressive...!

Although I'd love to see a "wrap around" oragne look like the original GT40

Sounds like my 2010 with more blower whine.

Yeah, that's the original Gulf Blue for the GT 40, I would like more the new McLaren scheme (again not quite Grabber Blue)

For anyone who missed it, the Ford media site now says: "A replay of the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Reveal/SVT Plans event from Monday, February 8, 2010 featuring Derrick Kuzak and top performance vehicle experts will be available later this afternoon."

For anyone who would rather read a list of what's new instead of watching a half hour video, I posted a list of the highlights on my website. You can see it here: http://wp.me/pMITI-2v

Thank you kindly. I'm still working on adding content, but overall, I'm pretty happy with it. My goal is for it be become a sort of one-stop reference site for Mustang stuff. As you can see, I have tons of links, to this site and others, with lots more to come. I'm not looking to compete with anyone, just be a source of information. It's very hard to resist pimping it on here and other sites too. Lol.

anybody have any idea on how much weight the glass roof will add? I think that would be a sweet option.
