Larry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 Shelby Mustang GT500 Convertable Color: Ebony with Tungsten stripes. Date of deposit: July 17, 2005 Build date: November 14, 2006 Received date: December 18, 2006 As of this morning I have a total of less than 50 miles on it.

Rasmussen Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Congrats We willbe waiting for pictures & your thoughts To cold out for photo's. Some thoughts: Car has a much higher quality than I thought it would have. I purchased my first car in 1953 and have had and still have a number of special cars. This one is truly a treat. Much more than I could have hoped for. I was a little disipointed in the power but I looked in the supplement and saw that the Shelby Gt500 contains a feature to limit supercharger boost pressure and engine speed to 4000 RPM for the first 50 engine starts. "If neither of these condidtions have been satisfied prior to customer delivery, full power will not be available". I estimate that I have another 25 starts. I have the Convertable and was very pleased with how little wind noise there is. Car has a lot of comfort appointments that I was not aware of. I thought this was a race car that I would take out once in a while but I think I will use it more than any of my other collector cars. I hope every one else that has one of the great cars or is waiting for one will be as pleased as I am. Rasmussen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
