Did someone say hot cocoa?

Thanks for the best wishes. I think if you plan to keep the car for a long time the painted stripes are worth the cost even if the cost is ridiculous at $10k. Most people are passing on the POTTS and I wouldn’t be surprised if Ford drops the option so there is a chance to have something a...

I understand you don't need to be lectured on car performance. Yes I have lots of racing experience but only as an amateur enthusiast. I have drag raced mostly at Budds Creek Maryland, lots of SCCA racing, track runs both IMSA and on NASCAR ovals on amateur days. I also have done drifting...

False, False and False. The GT 500 weighs about a 120lbs lighter than the base. Yes you will get better performance out of the unsprung weight of the Carbon Fiber wheels but the reduction in weight won't benefit most people will who own the car. Obviously making the car lighter wasn't...

I just think the weight is just another meaningress bragging factor. How many of us are really going to drag or track the car to the competitive level where 200 lbs will make a difference? Yes ford could have made the car lighter but at what cost? Again most of us can are the car lighter...

I know it is not practical to keep the 350 and buy the GT500. Heck neither car is practical if you only have one of them. I am going with both. If I run into a financial emergency I can easily sell one or both of the cars.

That would be most of us....present company included. I am 6'2" and 220lbs. By the book I am 30 to 40 pounds overweight. Why should I be picky about the car being 4,070 pounds instead of 3,999 when I am 40 lbs overweight myself. LOL!

I think you will be fine. There are some examples of people getting screwed over ordering Shelby's but the process as frustrating as it is works out for the majority of us. I wish you good luck. I too am having to wait until the spring to receive mine. This is the 3rd Shelby GT 500 I have...

Please give me the details!

Outside of Tom who has 3 GT350Rs I don't see the reason to sell a GT350R to get a GT500. Just wait a little longer to put the money together to where you can have both. I wasn't fortunate enough to get a GT350R back in 2015 when I ordered my GT350, I have the tech pack version that is the...

I have my GT350 under restricted insurance since I don't put a lot of miles on it. I will do the same with the GT500. I don't race the cars and honestly I don't have the driving skill to run the new GT500 on the track they way it is designed to do. I am a cars and coffee enthusiast who...

Did you order your car from a dealership in OK? ADMs for GT500s weren't bad in OK. I hope you got a good deal.

Is it possible for you to find out who the Ford Zone Rep is in the area your dealership is located? The zone rep knows all about the allocations. Buying into the Shelby program netted your dealership one GT500 and one GT350. Additional allocations are assigned based on previous sales...

I am sorry to hear that your car got moved back. Hearing that cars are being scheduled for weeks in late January is promising for me since my car is still unscheduled.

Painted over the top stripes for me.

I wonder how high the ADM will be on it?

Hi Big D. Now that the official numbers are out what do you think? 3.3 0-60 and a 10.6 1/4 mile are really good numbers don't you agree?

I agree. Hotties know more about Shelby's than we all expect. I bought a Shelby crew shirt from the museum when I went to see the new GT500 in Vegas. I wore the Shelby shirt on the strip and several hotties stopped me to ask about Shelby's and of course the first question out was did I...

These reviews will keep the Shelby haters off of the GT500 posts and I for one am happy for it. They were waiting to pounce on any bad news but the GT500 didn't dissapoint!

Like Darth Vader said. Impressive! Most impressive.
