BUT I'm still drooling!

Good thing I have my spit cup next to me!


Is that the 500s as in the snake version?

The 2008 Shelby Mustang GT500KR is due out shortly. It has 540 HP, a better looking functioning carbon-fiber hood w/ hood pins, carbon-fiber front splitter, short-throw shift lever, 3.73 rear axle vrs the 3.31 in the GT500 and new Shelby "snake" logos. There is a good review of it in the June Motor Trend with it on the cover. You might be able to find it on the Motor Trend website.

This one is sitting at the Ford dealer between Germantown and Collierville less than 5 minutes from your relatives home. This dealership is right around the corner from JR, PHAZE and me. It would be a great location for all to meet up tommorrow.
They also have a white Shelby GT 350 hardtop on the floor. Didn't take any pix of that one because it didn't do anything for me but interesting to sit in the hardtop vrs the convertable next to each other.

I dunno, Mark.  The Missus might not take too kindly to me showing up at home with a new toy..............and I fear I'd have to leave Germantown with the blue one.  Too awesome..........................but we'll go have a looksee anyway.   :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

Anyway, talked to the sales manager and told him I would give him a deposit right now forthe first Shelby GT500K he could get. He is going to check and let me know in the morning what the expected due date is for the new K Shelby snake is. (probablly good he didn't take the check tonight, it would have bounced like a fat lady on a waterbed. Figure I'd have to sell a kid or two before the bank opens Monday)

Mark, one drive in either the 500 or the 500KR and you'll forget all about the plastic.  Hell, I spent 8 hours in a friend's '06 Z06 on Tuesday and they have a bunch of plastic inside, too.  It's just a sign of the times.  But when he ran tha b!atch through the first three gears and the traction control and the 505HP 427 were fighting with one another to see who would win, neither one of us was thinking about the cheap interior!

The Mustangs (even the 300-odd HP GTs) have all of the look, sound and feel of a bonafide musclecar, mostly 'cause they are one, and any horsepower junkie would be proud to have one of those stellar machines in their garage.  Good luck tomorrow with the K and let us know how it turns out.  I'm taking the Ram SRT-10 out in the morning with a few guys, 2 with Z06s, 3 with Vipers, and one with Ford GT (yeah, a GT and I'm not talking Mustang here, either), so I'll be thinkin' about ya! :2vrolijk_21:

A real GT!
Damn, I"m not sure I could drive that.
Would be so worried about knicks and dings.
Probably keep it at home and polish on it.

Wake up Chip, not drive it?
What a waste. Just like my Mustang, I have to see redline at least once a month.
Stirs my soul! Then I put it up and I feel better!
If it can't go to redline then what good is it?

OK Chip, come clean. Do you have a Shelby GT500? Tell me more, I need to hear a few good reasons to allow the right side of my brain to win this one. ;D

What a (100HP) difference a few years makes.  The badge on the yellow '03 showing 405HP:
