Well that is pretty much how I guessed the poll would go. Majority by a slim margin go to the 40-49 year olds and a close second goes to the baby boomers 50-59. I was surprised to see 7 woman so far, but not in a negative way. Any analysts here with a theory? Of course mid life crisis plays a small part but I honestly believe growing up in the 60's and 70's without being able to afford a "Shelby" and always wanting one is a big part of it. Just my .02 cents......

You could sure be right. From the 60s era everybody had muscle cars and I always wanted one, too! When I was first married we had a 68 GTO but family took pecedence and got a car with ac, etc. I do let the hubby drive sometimes but this is MY car!

Let her know girls weekend away is not the same without a GT500. LOL

I bought mine, too. Being a farm girl I am not afraid of the power or the manual transmission! I would like to go to the Bonderanut School however. You can always learn.

I highly encourage the Bondurant school. I did the 4 day class literally a year ago (plus a few weeks). The down side is you have to drive Corvettes. The great thing of the 4 day class is you get to drive these really awesome Formula Mazda race cars and it all comes together.

I was going to do the advanced class the days before the 50th. In the advanced class you can drive your own car. I really wanted to get the GT out with some instruction before the bash but just couldn't get the thing for a week put together.

Do the class but do the 3 or 4 day class as you will get the most out of it.

Cheers,
Tony

I have a friend that recently went (he does drive corvettes) and said it was awesome-had pictures of the people when the vans were on the track and they looked scared to death! To attend that school is definitely on the bucket list!

Nice to have you! It would be cool to all get together at a bash in the future. We will have to work on that. :yahoo:

Verlyn thanks for the warm welcome!   If you are ever on the southern NC coast let me know and we can meet up.
I finally finished tricking out "Charlotte" with some new body adds and I posted her photos.  Well, I guess I am not really finished,  just for now though ;-)

WJinLV,  Yeah for you on your 2013 model!  What color did you order - give us the scoop.  Can't wait to see her!

I've always been a fan of the Ford Mustang, in general, the Shelby Mustangs in particular! My "lottery car", or the car I would immediately go out and purchase if I ever won a substantial amount of money was always a 1968 Shelby GT500KR, white with blue stripes. Well, I never won the lottery, and I never, in my wildest dreams ever thought that a new, modern version of the Shelby GT500 would be built by Ford, Shelby, or anyone else! It took quite a bit of doing, but now I am the proud owner of a 2011 Shelby GT500, black with silver stripes, and at the age of 58, I feel that I have finally aquired the Holy Grail of Mustangs, and I can die a very happy man, but hopefully, not before I get to put some serious drive time on this wonderful car!

Nice to meet you, my name is Jim!

Hey guys, just joined today. I'm a 37 y.o male so I'm on the younger side of the median. I was able to cut some years as I never got married (or more importantly not get divorced) with no children allowing me to save some money for only myself. I ordered mine over this weekend: grabber blue/black, SVT Performance Pkg, Electronics Pkg, Hey folks, and glass roof.

Haha this is just awesome. I'm 24 and i really was wondering exactly who drives these cars. My dad and I just had a pretty in depth discussion about this last night. Glad I ran into this one.

Looks like we have a perfect bell-curve. And it's cool that these cars appeal to everyone......27 or 70

Lol in response to the guy asking about how do 18-25 year olds afford such a car... I went to college, got a degree in Engineering, now i work in the oil field in the Gulf of Mexico. Bought the car with 20k down, financed the other 35k, 8 months after school. No cosigner, and insurance honestly isnt bad, about $130 a month.
