Anybody been there got any suggestions .............Tim Myer 07 SGT#1209 John Walker is gone. He left in January, the day before Mr. Shelby's 85th B-Day Bash started. Make sure you do the tour if you have not. And as long as you are there, see if you can sneak into Bud's Mod Shop and take some photos of the mods to my car (CSM#2008SGT0282) that is being held hostage in the Mod Shop. I'm serious about the photos and you might enjoy seeing the Mod Shop. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 When are you going to be there for the tour? I'll be in Vegas Thu & Fri next week and all of the week following. I'm definitely going to do the tour thing. I'd heard you can't take pictures - is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Also, don't go rentin' the GT-H. I want it there when I get there so I can make up a story about how it would be better to give it to me for the regular mid-sized car rate than have it sitting there not making them any money.

twobjshelbys Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Good point about Friday. I might get to live vicariously my museum delivery that I had to cancel because of the S/C moratorium. In fact, it would have been that Friday. May I could do a museum delivery on a Les Nessman virtual car. Masking tape on the ground outline with a lawn chair in the driver's seat position and make vroom-vroom noises. We're not driving the BJ there for two reasons: 1. We already had non-refundable airline tickets. 2. One can still get caught in a monster snow storm in Utah where 70 and 15 meet and on I70 going up by Vail. Ski season isn't over yet.

timmyer Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well I made it back. Going to Shelby was great, but costly. Only seen 2 SGT's. They are finishing up the 2008 now. But had GT500's being made into KR's and Supersnakes all around the place. Thats were it started costing me. Seen several white with silver stripped GT500's with 20" razors (silver). That really looked good. So as of today I have them ordered for my SGT. Gonna be several weeks before they arrive. Can't wait. If anyone has pictures of a white SGT with silver razors please post a pic.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I was at Shelby on Friday and saw the Razors in black. I was looking at 07SGT399's car, and lo and behold a black GT500 with black razors is pulled in next to it. Viola! Both next to each other. How cool. Which looks better. A or B (think of it as the eye test): A: B: Both Now I'm tending to vote for A. Holy cow, there goes another $2500. Ford/Shelby are smart. If they put all of this stuff (electrochromic mirror, HD radio, and now totally cool tires and wheels) on the car to begin with it would cost a whole bunch more money, yet we think nothing of dropping about $4K afterwards... And I haven't even added the supercharger yet. There goes the HD TV for a while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough choice on black car. Are the wheels 18's or 20's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the wheels 18's or 20's? A is the Razor (20"), B is the stock wheel. I like the look of the Razor with wider tires on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm here now. I got here a week ago this afternoon. I tried to get the GTH but it was already taken - reserved for Sat for a week. Instead they gave me a Pontiac Grand Prix GXP. I was expecting some wussy thing with a 6-cyl. The Hertz lady must have sensed my lust for power - this has a 5.3V8, 303HP. I was taking a turn onto LV Blvd on a red and it turned green the other way so I goosed it and and the rear end went out on me. It's still not a Shelby...

How long is the tour, Is this a half day adventure outing? Any recommendationsJoe The public tour is about a half hour. I was there in December 2007 when John Walker was still there and he took me on a second tour after the public one. Don Beson is the new Director of Sales, taking John's place. What I know of him I learned from the April Team Shelby Newsletter. I would suggest you contact him in advance and see what he can set up for you to. Not many in the public tour will be on your level of knowlege so be prepared for a lot of generalizations -- the tour is that way because they need a wide range of people to be able to understand what they are doing. The public tour is not at all set up for the owner of one of these cars. If you hook up with Don, please report back to the rest of us on what you see. Have a great time.

Jim I know Don and have had the pleasure of having lunch with him a number of times. If you get a chance to meet him, I think you will be impressed by his level of knowledge and his dedication to the customer. And he must be an all right guy, he's the owner of SGT0056!

ejrail Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I plan on taking my 07 SGT #2940 "home" in October for the A/C Delco Nationals. I will definately take the tour and undoubtably max out my Mastercard at the gift shop. I'm hoping there will be another event at the new Cafe where Team members can meet up wih some real legends like they did for the Summit Nationals this month. The only notification I receved about the April event came 4 hours before it happened. Even living 400 miles from Vegas, and driving my Shelby, I couldn't have driven down I-15 in time. Maybe the Team memebers could be notified sooner next time so we can make the appropriate arrangements. Viva Las Vegas!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
