I am nearly speechless, this ride is so badass!!!
Picked her up on Monday in NorCal and drove her home along the coast on the 1 and 101 highways, starting just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Just an epic day, between the experience of finally scoring a GT500 and the beautiful weather and the drive home along the Pacific, just breathtaking on a number fronts! I clocked just over 500 miles on the way home in about 10 hours, a good break in utilizing all gears and speeds and RPMs.
The last 3 months since I placed the order was tough, I have not had time go by that slow since I was 7 and waiting for Christmas to come! But that was just the end part of the wait, it really began 2 years ago when the GT500 came out, wait, it actually began over 30 years ago when I was a boy and fell in love with Mustangs, especially Shelbys! So a long wait indeed has been rewarded with a ride that exceeds every expectation that I had for it, and those expections were high and this car satisfies!!!!
And a few shots for ya!!!

Very nice and thanks for the photos (good to see that people know the rules, i.e., you cannot tell us about your new ride without photos). You had what I call "Chamber of Commerce" weather. That is the kind of weather when they take all the post card photos. Enjoy.

Congrats on the car & I'm envious of your first days' drive! I'd love to take mine to Cali some days just to cruise the PCH.

Congrats! Love the colour. Your photos really show the colour well, so we can compare to the black. Not many alloys..
