markski Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hello I recently purchased a 2010 GT500 and figured I should also join this forum. I had a 2011 5.0 on order that was built on 4/19 that is still on hold due to undisclosed quality holds. I got fed up, canceled that order and purchased the Shelby instead. I think I made the right choice. Here are some pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbackMustang Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Welcome! I also think you made the right choice. While I think the new 5.0L is pretty darn neat, you WON'T be disappointed by the Shelby at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpenziner Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Congrats!! Great color combo blk/blk stripes looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTVENOMGT500 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hey welcome to the forum and congrats on the Shelby purchase, the black on black really does look pretty sinister!!! You'd have enjoyed the 2011 5.0 but I have a feeling the Shelby's exhaust and SC whine will let you know you made a good choice in the end. BTW: I wouldn't park there you might get your new car towed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingram4868 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Welcome to Team Shelby. Unless your 2011 was going to be an automatic then you've made a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpevin Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I was going ti buy a 2011 5.0 vert and mod it. But for the money difference it was hard to pass the extra power and uniqueness, I dont think I could have made the same amount of power for the money difference and of course the warranty would be gone on the 2011 trying to do so. I still cant believe how much attention this car draws, granted this is Mustang country around here but it gets waves and thumbs up wherever it goes. I'm pretty sure that wouldnt happen with a 2011 5.0 mustang. Great looking car, I think you made the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also experienced a crazy amount of attention due to the car. I had one guy in a older trans am comment that he wasn't a fan of mustangs but the Shelby and Cobras are bad a$$. I think that comment sums of the universal appeal the car has. I know that the 5.0, while nice, would be just another mustang in a year's time.

judgeman6970 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 congrats....that "satin black on black" is definitely BADASS.....I think 540 hp is better than a droptop GT any day of the week!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 markski~ As many have already said, great looking combo. For me though my anal retentive side would be too much to bare so alas I could never own such a color scheme. I'll live through you though. Congrats again!

3ponies Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Congrats on the new ride. So when do you drive to Mod City? I like the Triple Black too! I have a Roush Black Jack for the roadtrack. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do plan on visiting mod town though (simple bolt-ons and small visual enhancements) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do plan on visiting mod town though (simple bolt-ons and small visual enhancements) All my Mods have been FRPP installed by the Ford Dealer to keep my warranty. Mostly dress up but the CAI, Gears & Throttle Body all give it some go! Enjoy that great ride! By lots of quick detailer for in the shade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
