Got the note from Ford credit saying that the GT500 is paid in full. Now waiting for the title from California DMV. It was a 3 year note with very little down so the monthly was a killer. Had some cash on hand and decided to just get it done. Assuming the CA legislature doesn't kill my...

Bought an 07 E350 van for the business today and the dealership had a 2008 Red GT500 convertible with the white side stripes in the showroom with a price of $46,900. MSRP is $51,615. That's $4,715 below MSRP. It has 76.3 miles on the odometer. Never been titled. Options are Nav, HID...

I was at Harrold Ford in Sacramento this Saturday getting the RCM reflashed as per the recall and noticed they had two 09's in the showroom. White with blue stripes and Red with white stripes. Both equipped with only the interior upgrade as options and priced at $45,XXX (I think $45,375) on...

Wondering if anyone here was going to Hot August Nights in Reno? Wife and I will be there Fri-Sat at the Grand Sierra Resort. Would be nice to meet up and have a beer or three with other GT500 owners.

Got a call from my dealer today. He wanted me to let you all know that he's got a 2008 Vista Blue/white coupe that he'll sell at MSRP. Has Nav, premium interior package, HID, and ambient lighting. Ask for Tim Creedon at Senator Ford in Sacramento. I'll update this with his number on Monday...

Oh, I kept the GT500, but we traded in the wife's 12 mpg Jeep Commander for a 42 mpg Civic Hybrid. With 87 unleaded inching closer to $4/gal we had to make the change. Took a beating on the trade in, but had a little equity in the Jeep which softened the blow. Would have loved to buy an...

Talked to the Fleet Manager at the Ford dealership where I bought my 07 at MSRP last August. He had been holding out for $5K over on his 08. Saw him today to sign some papers on a truck I bought there last week. Told me today that he'd sell at MSRP and to pass on the word to you guys. Has...

Just passing on the info. I picked up three white/blue 07 Shelby GT500 Hot Wheels at the local Wal-Mart. 97 cents each. Some of their $9.97 10 packs of assorted cars have one in red/white and white/blue. I plan to keep one in the packaging, one for display at work, and make one into a key...

I had been getting around 22-23 highway MPG when cruising around 65 MPH. Yesterday with a full tank of 91 octane (highest available in Kali), a trunk full of Christmas presents, and my kid with me was seeing mid 26's doing about 62-65 on the highway not using cruise control. That's almost as...

Just poking around it looks like the 40th anniversary edition Shelby package at $11k with the $7500 option for the 600 HP is a much better value than the SS package at $29K. Looks like a lot of the parts are the same but the major differences are in the brakes and wheels. What am I missing...

....that the FRPP CAI is the exact one that will be on the KR and will give the same 40 HP increase over the stock GT500. I think I just saved myself $54,200. Not that I had $100K for a KR anyway.

It looks like the 2008.5 King of the Road with 540 hp and 520 torque gets that extra power from a revised intake and tune. I may be wrong, but I think that's the only significant difference between that motor and our GT500's. If that's the case does anyone have any info on availability and...

I bought and received some Ford Racing lowering springs. All I'm looking to do is lower the stance. Any additional benefit is just extra. I'm going to have a shop install them. In addition to getting an alignment after they are installed is there anything else I need to buy or have done...

Just got back from a weekend in Reno. Got 24.0 mpg on the drive home. Was up to 24.6 at one point but hit some 20 mph stuff outside Sac for a few miles that killed it. Car has about 900 miles on it now. Just drove it with the flow of traffic. Around town I'm getting about 16 mpg.

I just got a tube of the Vista Blue touch up paint and paint-filled the shifter pattern today. Going to give it overnight to dry and do one more paintfill. Also had a paint shop make me a can of the spray paint and will paint a rear license plate frame, the front plastic lic plate holder, and...

This is going to sound stupid, but I need the number for Ken's Performance in South Dakota. I ordered a couple things and lost the number. Looking to follow up on the order. Thanks in advance.

Got a call back from a local Ford dealer. Says he has a Hertz Shelby for $42,000. I have no idea if that's a fair price or not. Seems high to me for a 318 hp used car. Anyway, it's supposed to be rare with only 500 made. What sort of prices are you guys seeing on these? They also have...

Will the dealer be able to get this? I want to get a standard black license plate frame and paint it Vista Blue. Thanks all.

Title says it. Does anyone have any inside info on the projected number of 08's Ford plans to make? My dealer says there will be fewer. Maybe 60% of the 07 numbers. Factor in 1000 of the 08's going to Shelby to be turned into KRs and the number might even be smaller? My guess is dealers...

Hi everyone. I'm thinking mod number one will be an axle back system. The stock system doesn't sound right for a 500 HP muscle car. I've had a Flowmaster Super 40 single in, dual out on a 2004 4.6 F150 and later on a 2004 5.4 F150. Liked it at start up and upon hard acceleration, but didn't...

After calling every Sac area Ford dealer and hearing $8500 to $15,000 over MSRP, I was resigned to getting another GTO or waiting. Last place I called this afternoon had one left. White with Blue stripes, Sirius, Shaker 1000, and interior upgrade. They wanted $5K over. I said I'd take it...
