I was surprised to find such a good Shelby museum in Boulder. They also have a R on display, which is the only one I have seen in person. I am not crazy about the blue stripe on magnetic gray, but I won't complain if I win!

I joined the Shelby club at HPR this past fall. It was a great group of all kinds of cars and I got hooked. I was staying mostly in the low RPM range on this run to avoid limp mode, and it did take longer for it to happen and was fun while it lasted. I am just waiting on...
Thanks for this thread of great information! Today I enabled the transmission temperature and disabled the engine noise on my '16 Tech. I had some Bluetooth connection issues with my Surface Pro 3 at first but then everything went smooth. The exhaust sound is much better.
I agree with others that it should copy the original design. I like the stripe because it would cover/protect rock chips I have just in front of my back wheel. I bought my car used with just under 5K miles and that is the only place with rock chips, and it is on both sides. (The front of the...
I had a Bazooka sub from a previous car that I put in my '16 Tech. I used a rubber bungee in the sub area and some cardboard to keep it from putting pressure on the wires when I accelerate. It is removable and sounds pretty good. It has a 8" woofer with built in 100W amp, which is enough for...

My wife was out of town traveling with my daughter this fall when I came upon and bought a used GT350, She knew I had looked into ordering one last year but gave up due to the high ADM, so she was not completely shocked when she got back. She was mildly impressed after driving it - she isn't...
I bought my '16 Tech car with 6 months / 4900 miles on it from a Porsche dealer. I got a full coverage 9 year, 75K warranty with $100 deductible from Zurich through the dealer for $1370.
Thanks for the welcome! I really love the AG color with the black roof. Funny thing is I swore my next car would be blue or red as my last several cars have been black or silver, but the AG is unique. The pictures are from the dealer that they used to advertise online - I need to take better...
It all worked out in the end...Last year, in Colorado, every dealer I talked to wanted $10K+ ADM which I just couldn't stomach. So this year I started looking at the new Boxster and what do I find on the used car section of the lot - an avalanche gray with black top and 4900 miles! And no ADM...
