Well, I went and did it. Put down $500 deposit. Refundable only if the car is not produced. #1 in line at my dealership. Have printed and signed receipt that says: "1 Shelby GT500 at MSRP". FIngers crossed it gets announced at the NAIAS.

I bought my '13 GT500 from the same dealer. He had 2 allocations for the year. $500 under MSRP. It happens.

#1. Non refundable #2 Never said I was in my right mind. But if I do not like the new GT500 my dealer would let me put it towards a GT350 or raptor. As long as he gets the business, he's flexible. #2: Who in their right mind would put down any type of deposit when 0 credible information has...

Local dealer called me and asked if I wanted to throw my hat in the ring. He already has one deposit and he usually only gets 2 allocations per year. Its a real gamble right now since there is nothing definitive from Ford about .... well.... anything. But, it would be a $500 deposit, for a #2...

SOLD Moderators, please delete. Thank you.

Thought I'd share. Alcoas plus Michelin Pilot Sports. I used the stock tires/wheels on the track this past weekend. These are the street shoes. Much better grip when first starting out cold. Car also has been lowered with Ford Racing Springs.

Normally, I run in the intermediate group, but with a new car, especially one with the potential to get you into a lot of trouble, I ran with the novices yesterday. This car was a blast on the track. My only mods were Ford Racing Springs and an adjustable panhard bar from Van. Swapped out the...

Heading to Watkins Glen for two days and I am going to bring it in for the mandatory tech inspection. But want to see if there is anything else I should do before taking it to the track. I plan on: 1. Getting Track Insurance. 2. Putting in performance brake fluid (recommendations? I've always...

Wish Revan was in the neighborhood :-D Anybody know of any HPDEs in the Northeastern US that teach using mustangs? I know Miller motorsports park has a program. I thought there was one up in Canada somewhere as well. I have signed up for my first track event in this car in April at the...

Not sure if this is a repost since I've been away for a while. From the Top Gear website: Season 19 - Coming Soon Season 19 of ‘Top Gear’ sees Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May engage in another collection of incredible adventures, absurd stunts and dream drives, ably assisted...

Hey guys. I am loving my car, but there are a few parts that look cheap to me. One is the center stack surround. The other was the black plastic hood vent. Just looked cheap to me. Well, a phone call to Bangastang fixed that. Before: After (Much better IMHO):

I don't have the nav option and the manual only seems to cover sync instructions that relate to the Nav. I want to find out how I can stream pandora via bluetooth. Also, I tried plugging my phone into the USB to play an audio book. No luck. Also, dumb question, is the only way to change modes...

Took the day off and went up into the Adirondacks to try out some midweek empty mountain roads. Car handles great. Found myself going faster than I realized on too many occasions. I am still tentative on the corners with the SRA but I'll get more comfortable in time. Just love this car and by...

Are there any clear bra pre cut kits out there for the 2013 gt 500 yet. Xpel, Venture shield, Avery Nano-Fusion? If you know of a source could you post below? Thanks.

I know by the title you were thinking this would be a kill story. Sorry guys. I took delivery of my 13 two days ago. I sold my tuned 996tt to get this car and thought I would give you a VERY brief visual metaphor for the two cars: 996 Turbo / F14 • Incredible speed when turbos(afterburners)...
