HSURB Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hey guys I took a look at one at greenway ford recently and ti looks like they used the factory grill sans fog lights and attatched the grill on top of the factory one. Once again - YOU'RE WRONG. HSURB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagerart Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I picked up #647 this afternoon in So. Calif. It is black with a five speed. I haven't given it a thorough run yet, but here are my impressions so far. The acceleration feels very strong but only really kicks in around 4K RPM. The shifter is a little stiff but with a good tug it quickly moves between the gears. The engine sounds great. Throaty, but not overbearing. My son has a Chrysler 300SRT8. I think his car is more agile, but the ride is too rough for me. The SGT is a good compromise. I certainly haven't pushed it to the limits, but the handling seems very good, but a little light feeling. What I was hoping for was a car that felt like a late 60's muscle car with the benefits of modern technology and improved suspensions. That is exactly what I feel I got. So far the car is great.

shelbygt350s Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 One of the members here has said there car doesn't have it another member on the SAI forum said there car doesn't have it. Amy posts that it is removed. I hope it is a quality control issue and is resolved. If not it will make an interesting tell about the originallity of a car 35 years from now.

ShelbyPilot Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) Welcome aboard Clink, sounds like you are getting everything on the car for your wife. Good to have you hear and enjoy the site. You mentioned you were going to get the GT exhaust trim. If you haven't already double check if they fit the SHelby GT. The prototype cars came with the standard Mustang GT rear. The production cars come with the California Special valance that doesn't lend itself to the trim. I have a picture below. Also, since you are going to Vegas to pick up the parts why not pick the car up in the Museum delivery and trailer it home yourself if you must. There have been some great impressions form those you have picked their cars up at SAI. Edited March 8, 2007 by socaljafo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Congrats, Clink! Keep us apprised of it's progress.

There have been some great impressions form those you have picked their cars up at SAI. It was $500.00 either way, Delivered or Picked-up. I want to go have a little fun with my wifee while in Vegas without having the hassel of trailering the car back. We are planning a trip through the facility while we are there.

This is a great site, I've picked up on quite a few ideas. Ordering this car is a learning experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great site, I've picked up on quite a few ideas. Ordering this car is a learning experience. Hi all, I picked mine (#56) on Feb 19th in Las Vegas. I was the first to do the Museum Delivery Program and Amy's folks really rolled out the red carpet for my wife and I. It was an experience of a life time, complete with about 75 photos. We drove our black/manual/shaker 1000/all options back to Colorado, and I have 1600 miles on her already. What a sweet ride and the folks at Shelby are first rate. I still swap emails with many of them and they are so kind and helpful. If any of you get a chance to get out to their facility, check out the black marks in front of the door. I felt the need to leave a little of me behind. Don Edited March 20, 2007 by dbeson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
