2010 Grabber Blue Shelby Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks Guys. The feeling is surreal. After all that waiting, it's finally in my garage. I drove it 64 miles home and this thing feels great. My dad has an 08 GT500 and I think that the ride quality is noticeably better in the 2010. Coming into work today was tough. I really want to detail the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29bill Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 When I picked up mine earlier this month it had two chips out of the front right rim. Also a chunk out of the tire. Still waiting for the replacement from the dealer. Hopefully the wait will not be long for either of us. I believe it was a transprotation issue. 29bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas,.. safe old Kona & Silver for me The front wheels appear to be very vulnerable. I am not really sure how long it will be until I've marked mine in one way or another. The tyre built in rim protector is almost non-existent on the front - in contrast the rears seem much better protected. At the Woodward cruise this weekend, almost all the 2010's I saw had some sort of light scratch/chip on the front passenger (kerb) side rim.

tdusseau Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 You could always have it repaired. I had a G35 that had bad curb rash, good custom wheel guy fixed it right on the car. Looked like a new wheel and lasted until I sold the car 2 yrs later. Also how many miles were on the clock when you picked it up? How many miles did the dealer put on the car?

CaptJim88 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Congrats on the car! Picked mine up yesterday too. Enjoy it. I am lucky enough to have a garage at work and at home so I can drive mine to work without too much worry. The car is absolutely amazing.

Also how many miles were on the clock when you picked it up? How many miles did the dealer put on the car? I took it right from the truck. When the dealer did their PDI, I rode shotgun. There was 8 miles at TOD. I have about 125 on it today. I haven't drove stick in a while and getting used to it. Been getting a lot of thumbs up. The color is striking. Much brighter than I thought it would be, but that's OK. Today I washed and waxed it. There was a lot of tiny "dots" in the paint like tree sap or road tar. I think that the factory could have better protected it for transport. I got most of them out, but plan to detail it again before the end of season.

denohew Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 After reading your post I went and check my rims out. One little rough spot with tiny chip on one of my front rims. As I plan to drive this car I am glad that was the only problem, especially after I found out that these cars are sent on regular transport trucks. I am sure my dealer will at very least sell me a replacement for cost if I pushed the issue but I am not going to bitch too them because they are going to sell me another one next year and I really want that allocation! Plus I did not catch it upon delivery but it is soooo minor that after the trip from Flat Rock to South Texas by rail thru Canada? , and the fact that they gave me $1,000 off sticker I feel very lucky! Best of luck on fixing your very fine car! denohew P.S. I do not know why the rail went thru Canada but that is what the dealer said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
