Sorry @biminiLX ....... but I have to put you on the spot now. Being a 2014 Shelby GT500 guy and now a owner of 2022 "Ford Performance" GT500. Which GT500 in your eyes holds the title of "KING OF ALL SHELBY'S"......your honest brutal opinion?????

Loaded question.
Raw holligan manual straight line badassery easy my 2014. I made a large man giggle like a school girl when he experienced 1100rwhp and 7000rpm as I banged gears last weekend. More comfortable Recaros and glass roof.
For refined daily use and extreme handling and braking I’ll take the 2022.
The DCT is next level good and knowing the drivetrain will take 1000rwhp at 8000rpm is perfect.
For daily fun 2022.
For pure fun and stress relief 2014.
Plus the glass roof. Ford should have NEVER stopped that option.
I plan to keep both til I can’t drive any longer.
Thanks for building dreams man.

At this point if I had to only keep one it’d be the 2014.

Wow.......Im shocked by the last remark.... but than again im not. There both badass car's but in nature very different. They both excel and lack in certain area's but I could'nt agree more with your conclusion on both. Im A ford man and having been apart of building both GT500 model's, I stand with both of them.......but in the end my heart sides with 2013-14 GT500 as still the "KING OF ALL SHELBY'S"

Yeah, but better still with stripes…..
I didn’t realize you could get the stripes in 2 different whites.
Bill Ford ordered the CFTP in this green with the Wimbledon/off white and it looks great with the white interior accents.
I still like the black roof better tho.

Got some new shoes. Technically used and my second choice color but I couldn’t pass up the local deal.
Yes the brake color and taillights will be getting a change but for now it’s a shocking combo :)
Signature Wheels make an excellent product, definitely a shout out to Terrance.

Looks great, J.

What ya doing with calipers / taillights?
Thx buddy.
I have the clear/amber Morimoto tails to tint and I bought a new set of stock calipers to color swap. I’m leaning towards easier upkeep after detailing those big red bastards. The paint and wheels are so loud I’m thinking matte black calipers and green Brembo stickers?

Love it, like the ‘thinking outside the box’ with color choices

I saw the Eruption Green at a car show yesterday. It was pretty nice. Even the wife liked it.
