RogerS Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Absolutely!!! I loved my 04 Mach 1. I rented a GT-H on a one day business trip to LA (Burbank) and really liked it, too. But, I hemmed and hawed about buying the SGT. Then I test drove one and never looked back!! I love it. :D One of my first cars as a kid was a 64 1/2 Mustang Coupe in the most attractive of colors I might add. Pimento Orange :blink: I' ve had my share of other's including a 03 Boxster S great car but over engineered. Nothing like good ole Detriot Horsepower and that Pony...... I think they call it "Pony Pride" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they call it "Pony Pride" Yes. I agree. There is nothing like the sound of a throaty V8. The Boxster S is a nice car. But like you said, over engineered. The 928's were nice, but too tech-y to the extreme. It is hard to push those cars on the street, unless you have a death wish. I really like the light, agile (and, of course, tail happy) early 911's. I should have never sold the 1972 911S. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerS Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Seeing how we have MANY new members I thought it would be a great idea to go back in time. On two fronts, this post is from the "original Shelby Autos Forum" and a chance for all of our new memebers to reflect back in time. It was a very interesting thread. Time to bring it back.

I lost 2 too wrecks (not at fault) The 65 was wrecked by a honda tuner car running a red light. I swerved to avoid ate a fire hydrant and he kept going (I wish I had hit his dumb a$$ instead). The 97 GT was lost to a woman making a high speed left turn (against the light) smashing the car ahead of me and the remains of both cars spun into my car which had stopped by this time. Car was unrecognizable but (thanks to God and the Ford motor company) I walked away. No other wrecks, the white GT vert was returned to the dealer after they tried to tack on an additional $5,000 after I had the car for a month. My bank alerted me, I returned the car and my chief spread the word about the lot to the other chiefs in the fleet (they didn't stay open much longer). The 95 v6 was nothin much.. I traded it for the explorer. I love my cars the Shelby is totally bitchin and the V6 is great (ford has vastly improved the V6). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsey Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks Roger. I'm so excited about the Challenger. It's been my favorite car since I was a kid. I couldn't believe I was able to own a new Shelby when I got it, and now there's a new Challenger on the way. I may never buy another car again.
