[QUOTE="Forgoten214, post: 12069094, member: 140349"] The GT350 is a hefty price tag over the GT500 which is odd because I think in the 60s it was the other way around. It seems to me more of a collectors piece more than anything. Yes sir, Im not sure if its just me but every import dealership I've been to usually gives me a dirty look if I ask for a test drive. I can drive a brand new C63 black series and S63 off the Mercedes lot and brand new Vettes a Viper among others and nobody minds but the Nissan/Lotus dealer is a different story. You can't even start the vehicles until you've paid for it. I asked them to sit in it and they didn't like that too much either but I needed to see if I would like it I wasn't there to seek their approval I was there to research vehicles. Are the dealerships in NY similar to the ones in Jersey or PA, are they friendly especially with test drives and inspection of vehicles? Its ok though Im not really interested in either because they're a little on the small side for me. I'm 6'6 290 so finding a sports car that is rather enjoyable to drive can be a task at hand. I had high hopes for the SL63 Roadster but I didn't fit in that either. I still have a long list of potential vehicles I'd like to check out but the Shelby seems to be the most well rounded and practical choice in terms of quality and pound per dollar. Also insurance is not as high due to it being a "4 seater" as some of the others I've mentioned. I just test drive a Viper SRT10 Roadster for 65k that I had high hopes for but it was very crude to drive. I was mainly interested in the GTR at the Nissan dealership but they laughed when I asked them for it. Kind of like as if I went in and asked for a Bugatti Veyron or something. :D Ive driven 911s and Caymans both are very small for me especially the Cayman. Although it seems in my area a lot of people have 911s such as doctors or the elderly which is not entirely the look I'm going for as I'm in my 20s. Nothing wrong with that but I'd still like to stay closer to my generations appeal. I see that you're in Long Island. I'm very familiar with Long Island and I grew up in NYC. Are there any dealerships that you would recommend or anyone that has any 2013 Shelbys on the lot or a short waiting list? I just hate to pay the New York tax but if I can get an advancement on the order or a fair price I might just do that. I've looked at several Ferraris as well but the maintenance especially with an older one must be astronomical. I was looking at a 360 Spider that was about 79k.
