Guy says I should get it by the end of the year. I can hardly wait. Never driven one, never even saw one. What is it like to drive?


cheers!

I got the shaker 1000 sound system as my only option. Is it a good sound system?

I've heard mixed reviews on the system...depends on whether not you are an audiophile or not. Congrats on the car. I have the shaker500 system...and I would call it "adequate" in terms of sound quality. By no means crystal clear...just average in my opinion.

Thank you. BTW, I believe the one I ordered is the same as the one you have in your username pic. I thnk the colors fit and somehow pay homage the Cobras of old. How do you like yours?

S/S,

I'm curious to know how you define "by far best car i ever owned"?

Are you referring to build quality?

Performance?

Stats?

Looks?

The level of satisfaction you get from owning/driving it?

The sheer "fun quotient"?

I ask, because, like rimbamboo, I have never seen one in person, nor driven one, but somehow seem captivated by them as well as I prepare to ready for purchase soon.

How do others here feel about owning their GT500's?

Thanks,

-Pockdog

I think I'll be happy. Just curious....

Thanks, G-money. Congrats on your ride as well. Its been a REALLY long time since i've driven a car that gave an adrenaline rush. My last two cars were a mercury tracer and a mercury milan. How fuckng lame is that?

Don't get down on your car...it should be an easy fix and it won't cost you any money.

Yeah dont get to worked up just yet. Like I posted in the other thread, these are all simple fixes as long as you don't run the car hot/cold/hot/cold ect. This causes major problem.

Is there a break in period for the Shelby? Or can you start driving it hard right away?

[TheWanderer316]

Which dealership did you order from, out of curiosity?

I got mine from Weisleder Ford in Pt Pleasant, NJ: http://weislederlm.d...on.com/?lang=en

I picked it up like 3 weeks ago. Driving it home, I was never so nervous behind the wheel of a car since my driving test as a 16 year old! Anyway, I love it. I never even saw a Shelby GT500 2010 before setting on the car that was mine. LOVED it from first sight. Just what I wanted. And fun to drive? WOW. Thing is like a sling shot. I really can't believe I have my dream car. Its a nice feeling.

Anyone in the area considering buying should check out Weisleder Ford in Pt Pleasant, NJ. I felt very comfortable dealing with them.

Cheers!!!!!!

Congrats bud! It is an awesome machine ain't it? Picked mine up last week and love just about everything about it. Can't wait to get it broken in a bit. Only have 250 miles so far. Post a pic or two when u get a chance.. How are you planning to break it in?

Congratulations RimBamboo. It should probably be warm enough by late March in NJ for you to be able to drive it properly

Didn't mean to rain on your parade old chap, but any outside temperature below the mid/high forties and the car is pretty well too much of a handful - IMO

Cheers, Megs

[mullens]

Congrats. The 2010 is much more refined than my 08. Great clutch, smooth short-throw shifter and great interior. You will absolutely love it.

Oh yea, GREAT avatar AgentIan.

I think not, That is the 1 and only thing I would change if I ordered again, It's loud yes but sound quality is very disapointing.
