ingram4868 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Go easy on the gas pedal. The car can be a hand full in good weather but when the tires are cold (under 40 degrees "F") they can loose all traction. Enjoy the new experiences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinop Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I picked up the car today.. It was raining outside.. WOW.. Never have I had such an experience driving a car. I cant imagine driving when its sunny in the summer! What is that phone icon on the shaker 1000? they didnt do the best job explaining all the features of my car to me. I will read the manual tonight and get what I can out of that as well. will post pics when the sun comes out hopefully tommorow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phone button is a mute when you answer your cell phone--which if you happen to be traveling in the great state of California--could cost you $20 the first time you get caught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLR8 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 From what everyone is saying about the KR exhaust I would strongly recomend those! They can be had for $499.00 If I didn't already have the Corsa's I would be getting the KR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCMM Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Document everything. Make notes about the first day you drove it home. All of it. It will make interesting reading in years to come. I documented everything for my niece who will end up with our collection when we kick the bucket. I finally got mine back in October. My wife and I took our 2007 Shelby GT to pick up the new one. The salesman laughed and remarked that this will probably be the only time in his career that a customer drove a Shelby in to pick up another Shelby. Have fun and enjoy!!!
