    2013 GT 500 the best yet!

    Mine was about four and a half months from order to delivery so they have obviously sped the process up.

    2013 Shelby vs. 2010 SuperSnake?

    I own one of each and am so blown away by the Shelby I am thinking that I may need to do some work on the SS. What do you guys think? Before my Shelby showed up I thought my SS was really good. I have been unhappy working with Shelby and will never have them do anything to another vehicle...

    Convertible Weather In December!

    Been doing nothing but raining in Portland and so the cars sit in the shop waiting for the sun.

    2013 GT 500 the best yet!

    Thank SYCO...you would not believe the number of people looking at the car that notice the stripes are painted and comment on it.

    2013 GT 500 the best yet!

    It has been raining here in Portland for the last couple of weeks so I have not been able to driver anything in the collection. I put about 1300 miles on mine before I had to put it away but it quickly became one of my favorite cars. Now I just need the sun!

    I hope the painting goes well. Ford really took their time and painted all the pieces off the car, making sure the stripes were tucked underneath where needed or ended well under the plastic pieces. Mine is a convertible but other than that it looks just like yours. I get as many looks in...

    Need to buy a 13 GT500 Conv.

    I ordered mine from a dealer out here in Oregon that I do quite a bit of business with. Because of that relationship I was able to order it at MSRP and had to wait a couple of months to get the car. But I was able to get my grabber blue convertible as a stripe delete car and then had Ford paint...

    Got a FGT TODAY!!!

    Great buy and congrats! Remember to take it easy through the corners until you have a chance to learn the car.

    2013 GT 500 the best yet!

    I agree...in fact my GT is a stripe delete car, as is my 2010 SuperSnake. The snake was more difficult because Shelby refused to do the car without adding the stripes, (it came from Ford as a Stripe Delete Shelby). So when they delivered the car it was painfully apparent the stripes had to be...

    2013 GT 500 the best yet!

    I would buy the 13 as it has many new parts, not to mention the 5.8 motor and 200 more HP. I have a 10 SuperSnake and this 13 is much better than it even with it's upgrades.

    2013 GT 500 the best yet!

    It was a favor but your local dealer should be able to do it for you. If you are as picky about your cars as I am you need to make sure they have a great painter. Ford did these to exactly match the location of the stickers and removed all the pieces before painting them. This is really a...

    2013 GT 500 the best yet!

    Correct...they are painted by ford. I ordered it as a stripe delete and had ford paint the stripes. I'm not a fan of the stripes but these are under the clearcoat and came out fantastic.

    2013 GT 500 the best yet!

    I can't add much more than DBK said in his thread. This is the best one by far, and is significantly improved over my 2010 SuperSnake. I can report that it takes 35mph sweepers easily at twice the speed, with little to no body roll while eating up potholes and expansion joints. I love the...

    Pure gas - no ethanol - comment time

    I have not seen this before, but as a fuel retailer here in Oregon I could not agree more. Thanks for taking the time to write this and get the word out Chip.

    2010 Shelby GT 500

    That is the golf cart, made up to look like a 350, that they cart you around in at the Shelby plant in Vegas.

    2010 Shelby GT 500

    That is a great look. I have never been a fan of stripes down the middle but for these cars I think they look great. How does that thing drive? I was not able to drive mine and have heard very good things about the handling compared to older models.

    2010 Shelby GT 500

    I thought so also. I ordered it that way but will lose the look as Shelby will be adding stripes to the new hood.

    Do You Remember Your First Drive?

    I remember the day back in 06 like it was yesterday. Had to wait for days until weather had cleared to pick it up here in Portland, Oregon. Finally on a Saturday the weather cleared enough to go get the prize. I have 8 brothers and sisters and I swear most of them were their when I got the...

    Passenger & Driver space in GT

    What is this about getting the front seat lowered? I am 6'4 and would like to make the car "fit" a little better. It did not stop me from buying the car, but it would be sweet to have it.

    How many GT's are out there?
