Hey Pony... thanks for the well wishes and the heads up...I have already checked the front spoiler... perfect... in fact, I can't find anything I don't like about it... Even the taped stripes look great, a concern from some the posts lately... Very happy it arrived with only 16km on the clock... PDI in the morning so I will again make sure all is just like I want it.... Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07 Shelby Cobra Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Congrats' Bert. We probably have more Shelbys here in Ontario than any other Province or State! Canada revolves around Ontario. Doesn't it, Alberta, Manitoba? LOL!! What would I know I'm a Quebecer by birth! Yes, I believe we definitely have enough for a Reunion. Lets wait for a few more though, shall we? Mustang Joe, SVTPower, Requis, Shelby001, etc.....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StangFinally Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Stangfinally Congrat`s -- Post us your thoughts after you get some km`s on her. AWESOME!!! Highly recommend that everyone participate in the dealer PDI! I was able to retain all the paperwork, stickers etc and was able to dictate how I wanted the car delivered. I'm my case, I had them leave all the interior protective coverings in place. The PDI drive was great! What an experience when the blower kicked in!!! OH BABY!! The fit, finish and even the stripes are terrific! I could not be any happier. For a factory paint job, this car is great... not mirror finish but virtually no orange peel. Part of the PDI is inspection under the car... never would get a chance like that again..... great to inspect everything and get a few pictures. As a grey beard, I am used to mechanical throtle response, does take a bit to get used to the drive by wire...but man, responsive is an understatement. Haven't really gotten into it yet, but the couple times she has broken loose has not shown any wheel hope. The clutch feels really good and after the first couple times, no chatter. Was great talking with the PDI Tech.... he was constantly comparing the 500 vs the GT. He specifically highlighted a clunk that he said is in every GT when you quickly release the gas??? I guess quite a few customers have complained about it? I will try to add a few pictures.. here are as delivered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
