1st impressions are the power is sick, the fit and finish are excellent, the sound is soooo good it might actually be better to be behind the car instead of behind the wheel, the chasis is superb, the ride is more compliant on the street then I thought it would be, steering is precise, tranny is good, shifter is different then the 500 but good (needs a short shift), huge brakes were probably overkill but will see after the first road course day, 3.73 takes some getting used too and overall after all the wait and stress - I'm very impressed with the car.
We were at Shelby around 10am today and went thru the car completely, took a tour of the factory (no photos were allowed - sorry) and took her for a nice test drive. We spent some more money at the museum store and headed on our way. Our 1st stop was the Hoover Dam. The parking lot was a bit tight and nerve racking but I finally found a decent spot. Amelia and I took the tour and it truly is one of Americas greatest engineering accomplishments. Then we hit some more open road and I was amazed that at 90mph in 6th the car is running about 2500rpm or about 22mpg if you stay off the boost. Speed limit on i40 in az is 75 and everyone is doing 85 so it was fun. We hit some of route 66 and stopes in kinsman az at mr. D'z diner. A route 66 landmark and a decent burger too. Then we headed back out and just checked in a mile south of the southern rim of the grand canyon. It's 30 degrees here now so I'm glad we got here earlier since this is no weather for summer tires. I will post my own car pics in the next day or so.

One of the big things I love about your car that hasn't been seen is the Intercooloer with "SHELBY" subtly showing from the lower inlet. That would look menacing suddenly appearing in someone's rearview mirror!!! Just really cool!
