New Shelby GT. Tough decision but i did it. I bought the Mach new and it was garaged and pampered with only 9,100 miles on the clock. Took a deposit on it Sunday from a fellow in Indiana.
Last year we bought a new 06 GT auto for my wife and the more seat time i spent in it, i realized the new platform is light years ahead of the previous models. I also like the retro bodystyle better since i'm an "old guy". I also like the blend of old school look with the modern technology on the new cars.
Monday night i drove A Shelby GT at my local dealer to see if it was comparably to my STOCK Mach in performance with the cold air intake, computer performance recalibration and exhaust. I was surprised and think it could be a drivers race between the two. If the Mach is a bit faster it's a small trade off for the step up in cars imo. I think these cars could possibly be sleepers for future collectability since they are converted by Shelby and carry a Shelby tag with a Shelby CSM number, although thats not the reason i bought it.
The car i drove wasn't optioned the way i want ,so i ordered one since they had a couple more allocations. This car will probably be the toy i retire with. When i'm gone and fertilizing daisy's, my grandson who's 2 yrs. old now, will own it.
