CMCVette Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 If so, what are your thoughts? Have an 04 vette & am being very tempted by the 08 coupe.... is it "too much" in terms of racer looks for a 45 year old, or is it perfect?!?

Pastor Passum Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 ... is it "too much" in terms of racer looks for a 45 year old, or is it perfect?!? Hope not I just bought an '07 and I'm 61. First night a cute little 18 year old yelled from the sunroof of a limo, " hey mister I love your car". I'm pumped :happy feet: Go for it.

Have an 04 vette & am being very tempted by the 08 coupe.... is it "too much" in terms of racer looks for a 45 year old, or is it perfect?!? CMCVette, The only problem is that you'll feel like you're 25 again. LOL I don't see a problem with that!! You're my age and I don't feel it's too much, it's perfect. I'm been a GM guy all my life and this is my first Ford. Even though it's my wifes car, we simply LOVE the car. If you choose to buy an '08, you can add modifications @Shelby, even though it was a wait, we felt it was worth the wait to get the kind of car exactly the way we wanted it. You can add a SC(my wife loves this option), Brake upgrade, brake ducts, wheels, grille choices, upper and lower, etc. Just contact the people @Shelby Automobiles or go to Shelby Performance Parts.com for parts and pieces and prices. Good luck, Dave PS. If you can't get the Shelby GT for MSRP or less, send me a pm and maybe I can help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have an 04 vette & am being very tempted by the 08 coupe.... is it "too much" in terms of racer looks for a 45 year old, or is it perfect?!? I would hazzard a guess that the majority of shelby GT or GT500 owners are 35+ so If anyone thinks it looks too much for you then who cares buy one anyways come join the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69dejavue Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Do all of the 2008 SGTs come with that windshield banner? Does anyone know where this can be bought? thank you SGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't trade in from a Corvette, but I was about to buy a corvette and decided on the SGT isntead. I know the vette out performs and handles the Shelby, but its a Shelby!! everybody has a Corvette.

ShelbyPilot Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Do all of the 2008 SGTs come with that windshield banner? Does anyone know where this can be bought? thank you SGT They do not come with the windshield strip. That was added to the car. Probably by the dealer.

Have an 04 vette & am being very tempted by the 08 coupe.... is it "too much" in terms of racer looks for a 45 year old, or is it perfect?!? I sure hope not. You are just a pup. I am almost 65 (go on Medicare in Nov!!!!) and own a white one. I just got back running it through the gears during a short cruise on a sunny fall day. I figure that at my age any day above ground is a good day and any day hearing that SGT’s rumble is just a bonus. Go for it. Mr. Shelby is no spring chicken either.

Just some advice stay away from the Mod forum if you plan to stay stock, these guys send the MOD monster after you when you log off to corrupt your mind!!! Well thats my story and I am sticking to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that smaller sticker to the right of the window sticker? Is that a dealer mark up sticker? Did the dealer add the SHELBY across the top windshield? I have not seen those on these. I have a blue 08 coming that you can buy for MSRP with no dealer mark up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SHELBY GT Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yes,Sort of!I recently sold my 07 VETTE 6 speed,After I purchased my Shelby GT!Yes the Vette was much faster,But I was really pushing the edge with some 150 mph+ interstate runs!So I will be objective here.Love them both,But they are completely different cars.You couldI have either one and be happy!The Shelby GT is an awesome car in it's own right,Looks awesome,Handles Awesome thanks to FRPP suspension upgrade,Don't kid yourself people,With a little more power,This thing would hang with a C6 on a tight road course.I really couldn't see two car payments,NEITHER COULD MY WIFE!Insurance follows standard Mustang GT,Less than half of what the Vette cost me!Upgrades are relatively cheap,Aftermarket support is awesome.I could have ditched either one,But I kept the SGT,It just fit me better!I will buy anything that I like,Ford,GM,Whatever.Whatever you do,You will be happy either way!BTW I'm 36,Who gives a care what others think,Life is short,YOU BUY AND DRIVE WHAT YOU WANT!

SGT0701 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yes, I traded an 07 C6 for my 07 Shelby. The Vette did have the power and acceleration advantage as 07 Shelby GT said in his post, but that can be changed with some cash and a visit to the mod shop. The advantages out weigh the disadvantages. I can now carry my whole family It is a S H E L B Y My insurance is lower My payment is lower and I got money back I have never had a car that got so many looky loos or draw a crowd like this one I am 42 and have no regrets (at least none about trading my Vette for a Shelby) B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
