    For purely recreational weekend driving on dry roads during sunny winter days in the new york area, are MPSS tires ok, or do I need to mount Michelin A/S 3 tires to be good to go?

    As the title suggests: Just getting the car.

    2013 Shelby in the rain

    I am picking up my car today. (Saturday) There are supposed to be intermittent thundershowers. How do these cars handle in the rain?

    My car is scheduled to be built tomorrow, 6/14. When I called the SVT number to confirm that date today, they also told me that my delivery ETA was 6/25. I've heard about lengthly delays in the shipping of these cars so I am not holding my breath for a 6/25 delivery. For those that have had...
