@V00D00 BTW, you silly bastard, those first couple of photos are __insane__. I'm not sure what the deal is with this particular silver but it's f-ing fantastic, looks like mercury!
Its even better in person, it somehow looks matte silver in some angles. I love it

V: The comment from MaskeRacer was perfect...it DOES look like Mercury! But man, I thought the stock exhaust sounded good when i heard it earlier today but...geeze, what a difference.

Ballpark spent if I may ask?

I salute your style my friend.

Thanks you, this color has me mesmerized, ive been complimented on it specifically by every one i know in person. It just fits this car

I know going catless added a TON of bass. This ones not done yet but we'll try and do a good comparison together.
I dont know his retail price. I know he wants to offer them to the market. Ill be sure to do an after dyno to see the gains.

Congrats on the Iconic500! I would of been super happy with that color as my first choice. I can't find many posts about the initial drive experience. Forgive me if these were asked already. So, here are some silly questions.
Does the GT500 have resonator delete like the 350r? How does it sound in sport mode compared to 350? Now that the 500 is automatic, when does the active exhaust shut off (it did in 6th on the GT350)? The 350 handled great and very forgiving on urban roads. Does the 500 have the nanny feature (2014 did) where it won't go full HP until certain mileage. If not, is it easy to start with conservative driving? Did you get handling package and if so, are bypassing the gurney flap install? I am driving 500 miles home after pick up out of state, any recommendations for first drive? I know to break in engine before pushing it.

Don’t floor it till 100 miles.
After that short pulls are fine.
1000 miles is the full break in.

This thread shows how he cut off resonators so those are included on the car. No nanny feature since there are many dynos of this car already with WOT pulls. He didn’t get handling package.

Ok, thanks. Sorry, I missed that on resonator. True on dyno, I forgot (duh). At least i got the promised dumb question in.

I think most questions others answered. But im still working n this video review- im the owner and biased, so i had a McCaleren owner drive it, he was skeptical.. WAS

2016 Shelby GT350, 2017 Ford Focus ST, On Order 2020 CTFP Shelby GT 500 with POTTS. Car is released and awaiting shipment. I am running out of time before having to leave for Japan on July 29th.
I am glad to hear about the many compliments on the Iconic Silver color. It is the color that I ordered. I am glad to see members getting their cars and that they are very pleased with them. As for me the wait continues. Congrats on your car. It looks and sounds great!

Lucky SOB..... just kidding, I have to say that color has pulled me in more and more every time I see a picture of one.....I can't say I wouldn't take one in any other color though BUT if I had to choose right now I think it would be the Iconic Silver.....keep us updated.

@V00D00 sorry if you went over this in another post but how do the upgrades feel? At stock you are already pushing 650 WHP and I'm sure that puts you in your seat but how has it felt now that you've gone up a few ponies?
