dac6319 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Picked her up today. I'm freaking out! Pictures don't do this car justice. I want to thank all of the knowledgeable people on this site. The information exchanged here is outstanding.

VNMOUS1 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Picked her up today. I'm freaking out! Pictures don't do this car justice. I want to thank all of the knowledgeable people on this site. The information exchanged here is outstanding. If anyone could give me info on the best way to safely break her in, I would appreciate it. Thanks, DON :bandance: :bandance: :bandance: I drove mine 450 miles (to home) the first day. 60....70....80....70....60. Next 500 miles was brisk, but never over 5,000 and never full throttle. About 1/2 to 3/4 throttle from 500 to 1,000 miles. Changed oil at 1,000 miles. She makes over 460 hp at the weels and about 540 at the crank. Stock. In a nutshell, don't beat it....but most certainly do not baby it. Where's Sycamore and do you live there or is that just the dealership. I'm in Oak Park (first suburb west of the city) Congrats on your pony. bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore is located at route 64 & route 23 in IL. (I'm located in "Lake In The Hills") Small dealership, (Brian Bemis Ford) no gimmiks, no games. They kept their word from the beginning, until the sale was final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68KR07Shelby Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Shelby 101; same order as my car! My car is waiting for me until Thursday at the dealer. Will let you know what she looks like. I like another stripe delete guy; ours will be unusual at the least and harder for the five-oh to find on the street......

gt50035 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Congrats Don. I have the inverse color combo. I really struggled over which combo (blue/wht or wht/blue) to get but I think they are both awesome combo's. Great pics. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Your car is one sweet machine. I realy love the White. My wife has the White GT/CS and I almost ordered my Shelby White but decided to go with GO. Your car is awesome looking. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07 Shelby Cobra Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 A late Congrats! I just wondered if anyone had noticed that in your last photo, rear of car, there's a kid/statue of a kid(?) in the upper left hand side across the street with a baseball bat. It looks like he's about to hit a line drive at your Shelby!! Hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venom07 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Awsome colors there. I almost went with that combo. Then again if I had much more time to think about it I would have just kept changing my mind until I went through all possible combos . Congrats and enjoy, Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
