    Gorgeous Shelby GT500! I have not seen one in that combination on the street yet. Me likey!!! I just got mine at the end of the season, 2013 convertible in Candy Red/White Stripes andit is a blast to drive as well. You really need to warm up the tires on these beasts before you get too...

    Mclaren Spider arrived

    Gorgeous MC! How about giving us some first impressions about the car? Did you buy it new? What options beside the sport exhaust? How does it compare to your 458? Enjoy it in good health Terry! You are always at the front edge when it comes to cars! Good for you...life is short:-)

    Anyone own a McLaren?

    Terry, I don't think that you are going to like the McLaren more than the 458. I drove them both and quickly found that the 458 is a better car IMHO in every way; more lively, more visceral, more fun than the McLaren. I have a 458 Italia on order. The 458 is also holding its value much more...

    Never assume new tires are new

    Shelby, Are the Bridgestone tires that you recently put on my FGT 10 years old? If so, I'm not comfortable with that... I never thought to ask you the DOT on them. Rubber seriously degrades with time even if never mounted and the studies out there are downright scary. Lots of people killed...

    Jeez Xcentric, I was just trying to give some friendly advice to a new owner living in some seriously cold weather. These cars with cold tires can be deadly. Don't take my word for it, do your own research. Each year, more and more of these cars get destroyed and end up for parts and people...

    Congrats on your FGT. It is a very special masterpiece to be respected. Being from the north myself, if I may offer you some advice... Don't get to know your car in the cold winter months. Put her away until the warm weather returnswhere you can warm up those tires and drive her properly...

    Musty Smell when A/C turned on - Help!

    I had the same thing with several cars. Here's what you do: Run the air conditioning with the temperature all the way up on heat for about 30 minutes and bake off all that gross stuff causing the odor. You might have to do it a couple times. Once you get rid of the odor, get into the habit...

    Any Ferrari F430 owners here?

    For me, I wouldn't even consider it without a 6-speed manual tranny. I just love rowing through gears and find it to be a much more enjoyable experience. I know that the dual clutch automatics are way faster, but I don't track my cars or race them. I just recently got rid of my 2012 Porsche...

    Any Ferrari F430 owners here?

    Are there any Ferrari F430 owners here on the FGT Forum? I am in the market for a Ferrari F430 with a 6-speed manual gearbox and I was wondering how these cars compare with our FGTs? I know that there are several Ferrari 458 owners here already and I have read many posts, but I am super old...

    2013 Shelby GT500

    I bought the car specifically to have a rag top after I sold my 997.2 Turbo S Cabrio. I wont ever drive the car with the top up and it really is a family cruiser for me. I am a convertible guy through and through. I don't drive them in the rain:-)

    GT500 Shelby I only have a couple pics from the dealership and they aren't great, but you will get an idea of what it looks like.

    2013 Shelby GT500

    I have a 2013 Shelby that came as a late allocation and my dealer called me up and said the car can be made for you and here within about 30 days...I jumped on it. My 2013 Shelby Convertible in Candy Red/White Stripes with SVT package, Recaro Seats, and car cover kicks butt. Serious exhaust...

    First time Ford GT buyer- Need advice

    Deal with Shelby! You might pay a little more (or maybe not), but you will get a car with no stories and no surprises. He is an honest, straight shooter and he describes the car accurately so that when you get it, you wont be disappointed. If he doesn't have what you want, he will find it...

    My FGT arrived this morning! Thanks Shelby

    I put around 130 miles on her this weekend getting...just getting to know her. Very interesting driver and I'm just wondering where has she been all my life! While most of my cars always feel like they will be around for a while, this one feels like she is part of the family and wont be...

This is the second car I have purchased from Shelby in the last 3 months and I must say that he is simply the straightest shooter I have ever...

    Ford GT Price Valuations

    That is a very good point. The other thing is how do you know if the car has been in an accident or not? No way to put it up on a lift to know for certain. There is so much smoke and mirrors that goes along with these types of cars and so many have been totalled with a 100 miles on them...you...
