Mustang_Scotty Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 OK. Guys, I think i'll be venturing into the GT500 world real soon. I'm coming over from the Shelby GT Vert. So I'm going to beat my head about if I should stick with the Convertible, go with a coupe or wait for the 2010 which as of right now I really don't like that much. Keep in mind I only take the car out sparingly for joy rides or take my kids in the car who by the way love the convertible. I love the convertible obviously because the top is off and the kids and for the 60 minute round trip ride to my Firehouse on a Sat or Sun. Now the coupe I like because of the strength and over the top stripes. Now the 2010 I really don't know yet. All I know is I can get a really good price on the 08 & 09. I would love to hear your opinions. And just to add a little more, the color. I'm a huge fan of the Vista. Had a 93 navy, 06 & 08 Shelby Vista. I would maybe lean towards the Tungsten with silver stripes. NEED HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang_Scotty Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 This maybe a dumb question but what is the 40th stripes? I am definately going to put stripes on the car. Are they just the Shelby stripes? I had my eye on a 07 Tungsten w/ silver stripes coupe.

txcobra Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks Mustang Crazy! I appreciate the very nice comment. I have to admit, I struggled with the same problem and I am now blessed to have both a vert and a coupe. If I had choose one, I would have to keep the vert. My kids love it too and there is nothing like it on a good day (which are most days in central texas!). Here's a couple of pics: Good luck with your decision Mustang Scotty...I am sure you will make the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they just the Shelby stripes? I had my eye on a 07 Tungsten w/ silver stripes coupe. This is the 40th Anniversary package. The silver stripes were the only option with this package. the pics are exactly as the car came from Shelby with this package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang_Scotty Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Excellent pics. Only problem is I had the silver stripes vert. I think if I make this venture it's going to have to be white stripes for a change. Thanks Mustang Crazy! I appreciate the very nice comment.

thewheelman Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Go topless man! My Alloy 07 convertible is the most enjoyable car I've ever owned. It's my 9th convertible and 3rd convertible Mustang. Go topless! We drive it every day, well almost, wife drives it to school--she's the fastest kindergarten teacher in the county--and decided on a couple of snowy/rainy days to drive the van instead, otherwise, it's an everyday car.....go, enjoy!

I think if I make this venture it's going to have to be white stripes for a change. I can definitely appreciate that. Keep in mid, I think if you go with a 07-09 vert though, the only over the top stripes you can get is with a red stripe package. Not sure if that is the case with 2010. If you like your current vert, I think you will really miss not having it if you decide to go the coupe route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
