I have not seen the seats to say but did they give you a price on your order? I'd love to hear the going rate especially if in the US - it's sounding pretty ugly out there around price and while I won't be denied this car I will wait if it is as silly as people on the boards are making it sound like.

KingCobra Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hey svtkeith, I've seen the Torch Red with white stripes in person, with the crimson/charcoal interior, but the doors were locked and it was under flourecent lights. I don't expect the reds to be a perfect match, from paint to leather. I ordered it and don't feel this will be an issue with me at all. Two different materials refecting light differently. Below is the best picture I've got to show both the exterior paint and the interior crimson leather together. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the torch red/silver stripes with the crimson interior pkg. I have seen the red interior. The Atlanta auto show had a red/white with crimson interior on display. Just like in the 05GT, the bright red exterior does not match the red interior. It is more of a wine/burgundy color on the inside. Fortunately, the GT500 has less red accent than its GT counter parts these past few years. This should help with the blending of the two colors. I chose silver stripes to help accent the interior trim. I am ASSUMING there will be some polished aluminum highlights like the Mustang GT has. Unfortunately, I don't recall this about the interior. I was overwhelmed with this 500HP monster rotating on the turntable at the autoshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chrome finished trim is replaced with a satin aluminum finish - kinda knocks down the brightness of chrome down to a classy level, methinks.

KingCobra Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I agree Doug, I think it looks more upscale than the bright chrome of the GT. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Here are a coulple of pics that show the wrapped and stitched dash. I wish it had stayed the leather wrap that it was suppossed to be, but I'm sure it will look great anyway. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVS2XS Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 It seems that one of the guys working on the production line has said that the "leather" dash pads are having squeeking issues and the stitching is not straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is'nt. Heck you can see it in the above photo. And the squeeks are still there as far as I know. Its been a week since I looked into it.

Do you mean that the "soft touch" material on the dash creaks as the dash flexes, when the car is moving??? KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The faux leather is glued to the upper brow. Its not squeeking. There are other areas of concern that make it squeek. The A-pillar covers seem to be one of them.

No, They are normal. Come to find out its squeeking in more then one spot! The V6 GT and Shelby use the same A-pillar cover. The guy who puts it on does not look to see if its a shelby or v6 number he just grabs one for a vert or coupe and keeps on truckin'. Same with the glove box door. No special Shelby box. The box that is installed is the box the person grabbed. Black is black and tan is tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
