So happy for you, Gary. Can't wait to get some side-by-side pictures of our two Shelbys!!
By the way, I'm assuming you got the wheel/tire info I sent you? They get delivered Monday, and I'm selling the originals tomorrow to a fellow board member from Killeen. My Shelby is going to look weird sitting on jack stands with no wheels...
Again, congratulations, I know you're thrilled to have the wait over with. Pictures look absolutely beautiful!!

That's a BAMF. I love it. 
Hope your fat *** fits in those Recaros. Mine wouldn't, at least not comfortably. But I've lost weight since then.

We have boost!
Gotta put 80 more miles on it according to manual before I really dog it.
First off for me since I'm used to the R and to Seven this car will stay in "sport" mode for the suspension. The regular mode feels to sloshy.
Haven't decided on steering yet. I like the sport but the regular seems good too.

BTW I really didn't like the car much when it was in delivery mode still. The clutch was awful. Too much clutch for too little power. Now everything is just right.
It is scary fast as advertised. And with the temp dropping to 40 here I brought it home and parked it till tomorrow.
It's so dang quiet compared to Seven. It is faster though and that speed is deceptive because you don't hear it as much. I'm used to my car announcing that it's fast. You know it's coming. This one is just quiet.
And while they both seem equally quick in first this one has way more in second and third.
