Drove the hellcat and while it was fast in straight line didn't handle for shit. Plus you really can't use the power all the time. I wanted a balanced and all around performance car so bought me the Shelby. I always wanted this exact car in the same color combo and only option is electronic package.

This is a 2017 and absoultly No one budged on the price here in ca to go under msrp. So i caved in and paid $60,500 msrp. They tried to add a $495 windshield diamond protection and I laughed and said take that off the contract or I am walking. Sales man said you are going to walk out over $495 and loose the deal? I said for some gimmick bull shit windshield protection yes I will. So he went and took it off the contract.

Here is a picture. I told them do not wash the car and most importantly DO NOT install front plates. I will pick it up tomorrow. Can't wait to drive her.

Congrats man! You will love the car more each and everytime you drive it.

The windshield? What a bunch of crap! Good for you for not falling for it.

The photo does not appear. Size it to 1200 pixels max and upload it here. Looking forward to seeing it.

Congrats. :thumbsup: I had a boosted 15 GT so know what you mean about not being able to use all the power all the time. By far the best purchase I have made on a car. You will love it.

Good going! Especially getting a CA dealer to sell at msrp. I was able to find just one in th entire state when I bought mine back in May and they had exhausted their allocation for the year. Hopefully the markup game is starting to taper off. You are really going to enjoy it!!

Looking good!
Don't fall for the no torque slogan. Keep the car in the 3500range, where it sounds best and runs best and torque is there . Nice color combo! Congrats.

Congrats and welcome to the party!

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the Hellcat, I use mine as a daily driver and use all 707 hp every chance I get... Probably why I have gone through 4 sets of rear tires since taking delivery in July 2015 hahaha! They are two different cars and not in the same category IMHO.

Was the 427 a kit car I assume? (Backdraft, Superfformance, Factory Five?)

Would it be a good idea to get bumper to bumper 100k warranty for $2000?

I did the same with mine don't wash it don't remove anything and don't install the front plate holder. Be careful and don't do like some of us did the first time we washed it and lift the driver side wiper IT WILL CONTACT THE HOOD AND CHIP THE PAINT!!!

Try flood ford. They have the best pricing. Some states do not allow it like FL. If that's flood fords price, then yes
