Right now I have no interest in selling my car. I have gone as far as saying that I will never sell it, but I suppose I should never say never.@Jmeo
Total curiosity with the GT500 CR announcement ....
Will you be selling your GT500SE Wide Body for a Code Red? Has it crossed your mind, or will you never sell yours?
Good call Jaime! Your car has a very linear performance curve, whereas the Code Red kicks in later and acutely. Its performance curve makes it an ideal drag car.Right now I have no interest in selling my car. I have gone as far as saying that I will never sell it, but I suppose I should never say never.
And there’s so much more personal experience that I have from the whole process than anyone will ever know. I will never forget the joy this car brought me during the build, the people I have met, the relationships I’ve gained. This car means so much to me that I don’t think I could ever let it go. Hopefully my health and finances allow me to keep this car and pass it to my kids.Good call Jaime! Your car has a very linear performance curve, whereas the Code Red kicks in later and acutely.

Your car is something very special, especially with CSM #4.

I was just going to add onto what you were saying about the guy who has his for sale for $250k. I spoke with Tim over at Shelby American yesterday and I asked about the MSS Springs and magnaride tuning and he said that they don't do that really. They did it for the one car, but they tend not to do that. They said that Vince did the tuning on the package and it worked great, but they don't mess around with the magnaride suspension. With your rear windows, which I would love to try and get put on my car as well, and the MSS springs and magnaride tuning, I would venture to say you are well above that mark value-wise. If he gets the $250k I guess he would set the benchmark for valuation going forward.And there’s so much more personal experience that I have from the whole process than anyone will ever know.

You sir are a big part of everything I just mentioned, and I will never forget that either.
Are you saying they aren’t doing the adjustable MSS suspension on current SE cars?I was just going to add onto what you were saying about the guy who has his for sale for $250k.

I believe that is the case. When I speak to Tim again, I will find out and confirm. I think with the quarter windows, yours is a 1 of 1. From what you and a few other people have said that the car rides so much better in normal mode and with the suspension tuning, it supposedly handles great on the track. I would like to try and push to get that though just because of what it offers.Are you saying they aren’t doing the adjustable MSS suspension on current SE cars?
I was very fortunate to get a pair of these windows on my car. At one point they wanted to pull them out when it was discovered I got them, but I got lucky.I believe that is the case.

Excellent, congratulations I am 100% sure you are going to love it. I am very curious to find out just how many of the 98 SE’s they have built. Hopefully you can get that information from your sales guy. Chris Ruby was my guy, and he was quite amazing but unfortunately for all customers after me he left the company and moved back to Ohio. There was another guy who was a complete tool, but he was recently fired, thankfully for all customers. Good luck with your guy (Tim maybe?), hopefully the experience is a good one for you. My experience was second to none, but I have a good friend who hasn’t been so lucky, so I wish you the best.I put deposit on SE and widebody @ 6 weeks ago...probably going to be a 2 part build due to body shop backlog.
I went for widebody, painted stripes, painted calipers, painted s/c, painted rear wing (non track pack) and coolant reservoir
Ty...can't wait!! Unfortunately I was quoted 2 yrs for widebody but hopefully sooner. SE will be done late winter/spring. Yes I'm dealing with Tim. In the meantime Putting Borla Atak with cf tips on this weekend. Btw...ur car looks amazing...it helped convince me for the widebody.Excellent, congratulations I am 100% sure you are going to love it.

Two years for wide body? Wow, crazy. So you are getting the SE treatment then the car goes back for the wide body? That is the opposite of my experience.Ty...can't wait!!
