68GT350CV Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Since the SC was not going to be available for several months I took Museum delivery on February 1st. My wife, 11 month old daughter, and I drove the car 2000 miles back to Louisiana. We got caught in a Snow Storm at the Grand Canyon, SuperBowl traffic in Phoenix, and a Dust storm in New Mexico. The car was great and we even made it home a day early (who can drive the speed limit in a Shelby). The car has the Shelby brakes, Gun metal Razors, and the lower grille with lights and brake ducts.

68GT350CV Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 How did it handle in the snow? Being from Louisiana, I am not exactly used to the snow but the car did fine. We idled along in 2nd and 3rd gear. The worst snow was leaving the Grand Canyon National park, where they do not sand or salt the roads for environmental reasons. It was a good exercise in car control and sliding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyGJ Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Where did the lower lights come from? I'd like to look at adding them to my new 08SGT-Conv. Was that something that they customized for you out in Las Vegas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that something that they customized for you out in Las Vegas? The driving lights come with the lower grille as a SAI modification. I think you can buy the kit from Shelby performance parts.

mywickedshelby Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks for the frontal pic. SPP does not have the lower grill w/driving lights for sale yet, only the grill. It is supposed to be coming soon, I havent heard when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserkreb Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 How did it handle in the snow? Not sure about his but mine runs great in light snow, I don't even mind the TCS. Of course, this morning we got about a foot and a half, so that makes the pile in front of the garage about 6-7 feet now instead of 5 so it's going to remain in there for a while... grats btw, I remember the day I took mine home. Heavenly... =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
