YZD263 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I received my torch red GT500 early this morning. :happy feet: After the car was picked up at Dave's place last Sunday, it sat in transit in Toronto for a few days. I was supposed to receive it yesterday, but a major snow storm delayed it until this morning. It was still snowing quite heavily when the car arrived and the conditions were very slippery; there was so little traction that the car needed a helping hand to climb the driveway. Just took a few photos due to the lousy weather. I figure that I should be able to drive it in about 4-5 weeks; still way too much snow here! Until then, it will sit in the garage.

shel-b001 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Eric: Glad to see you got the car home safe with all the bad weather we been having. Looks like you got a bit more snow than we did in Ontaro. We had 10 cm. plus ice pelts with rain to finish it off , come on spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Congratulations!! :happy feet: Great pictures Eric. It reminds me of my delivery during a snow storm. The truckers mentioned that they had to push my car onto the truck since the tires had no grip in snow. Think warm thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you got a bit more snow than we did in Ontaro. We had 10 cm. plus ice pelts with rain to finish it off , come on spring. We got more like 30 cm. The sad part is that until Friday morning, it had been sunny and roads were clean and dry for over a week. I was hoping to take it at least for a quick spin around the block before parking it in the garage. Come on spring indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Congrats Eric, nice ride. What dealer in Canada did you get your car, if you don't mind my asking. I bought mine at Wood Motors in Fredericton, NB. I like the color by the way. Good Luck with it and Drive Safe when you do get it on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure she'll learn francais in no time at all! :beerchug: Hi Dave, You're right, only a week was pretty good indeed. I got lucky because the annual Auto Show begins here this Monday. My delivery guys were also asked to deliver cars to the show and were consequently able to hit the road with a fully loaded truck. Among those, a Volks GTI, an Audi TT an Altima Hybrid, a few Subarus, but no other Shelby. I'm sure my new baby was crying a bit on the inside, as it spent the first six months of its life with a very caring owner. I will try to do my best to make her feel at home. Finally, thanks to all of you guys for the nice words of welcome. I also see from the posts that there are quite a few of us, especially here in Canada, just wishing for the winter to be over ASAP.

daniel Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Félicitations pour ton achat, tu verras elle vaut l'argent dépensé et ses limites sont bien plus hautes que les 500hp qu'elle a déjà....

J' ai dû patienté près de un an pour avoir la mienne(coupé tungstene/silver) Félicitations encore et bienvenu dans le groupe des chanceux Daniel Rosemère Merci Daniel, Heureux de voir quelqu'un d'autre qui s'exprime en français sur ce forum! Un coupé Tungsten/silver aurait aussi été mon premier choix si je l'avais achetée neuve. J'avais vu cette combinaison sur une Ford GT et avais bien aimé. Je trouve toutefois nos 2 concessionnaires Québécois très gourmand quant au prix demandé (j'imagine que tu l'a pris chez Chartrand à Laval). J'étais prêt à faire un bout de chemin pour l'acheter au delà du prix de liste, mais pas passé une certaine limite. De tout manière, le rouge demeure une de mes couleurs préférées, bien que plus voyante auprès des forces de l'ordre... J'ai bien hâte que la température collabore pour pouvoir voir ce qu'elle a dans le ventre. J'ai vu dans tes autres "posts" que tu avais effectivement aporté des modifications à la tienne au cours de l'hiver; peux-tu me dire si suivant ce que tu sais de la politique de Ford (et de ton concessionnaire), celà a pour effet d'annuler la garantie? Personnellement, c'est le genre de chose qui me ferait hésiter à la modifier, du moins pour la première année... Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Salut Eric C'est sûr que ma garantie prend le bord car je suis rendu à 700hp :hyper: (au moteur, 585RWHP) sauf que si un pépin se produit, tu enlèves la poulie et tu reflash l'ordinateur avant de l'envoyer chez le concessionnaire. Le 5.4 est capable d'en prendre...J'ai un Lightning 2004 que j'ai acheté neuf les modifications ont été exécutées après 2,000klm(poulie, Predator'cold air et throttle body) aucun problèmes à signaler "même durant l'hiver" et je suis rendu à 70,000klm résultat: 450hp au moteur et 530lbs de torque(original 380/425). Il faut, si tu fais des modifications, t'assurer d'avoir un bon mécano et des produits reconnus. En terminant, j'ai roulé vendredi après les modifications et les test de Dyno, et je peux te dire que je devrais apprendre à gérer autant de puissance, ça va prendre un très bon bicycle pour passer en avant. C'est comme décoller sur la glace en été, tu peux faire décrocher l'arrière en tout temps même en 4ème. Si tu envisages des modifications, tu as trouvé le bon site et fais le moi savoir je pourrais te recommander des endroits. Salut Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
