    How long did you have to wait?

    About 15 months - August 2006 w/deposit until November 2007 delivery. Of course that was only to replace an out going 2001 GT which replaced a 1998 V6 (my first car), so I'm not sure the wait counts as I had a Stang the whole time. :D

    20" Shelby Razors / Performance White

    Great choice! I know I love mine. I have 255's up front & 275's in the rear. When the fronts go, I'm definitely bumping up to at least 265 in the front as the 255's look a bit too small...the rear may be a bump up too, but probably not much larger than the 275's.

    6 speed automatic in s197?

    I bet you could swap in a T-56 much more easily. :D

    Fords at Carlisle!!!

    I'll be there all weekend - Fri morning through Sunday evening. :D This is my first trip up there too so it should be very interesting / awesome! Any thoughts about doing the CJ Pony Parts "Pony Trails" ride Friday morning pre-Carlisle?

    GT500 or Shelby SC Special Edition?

    Not if you get all the parts installed by Shelby (the future resale value that is). Have Shelby install the HO Whipple or Paxton and you'll be all set in the power department. The warrenty, to me at least, would have to be based upon how much you drive it. I drive less than 5k miles/year so its...

    Installation of Steeda underdrive pulley affect supercharger boost?

    I think what's trying to be said here is if the UD pullies give you 10HP, but the 1lbs of boost gives you 20HP - if you put the UD pullies on with a SCer and lose 1lbs of boost, you'll be making overall less HP in the end. I'm by no means an expert so these numbers are only for example. The...

    Installation of Steeda underdrive pulley affect supercharger boost?

    I had always thought you were not supposed to run UD pullies when running a SCer. Wouldn't it give you the reverse effect of that of UD pullies on a N/A car (ie. lowering boost, thus lower HP output by a greater number than what the pullies make up for)? :shrug:

    Looking for Winter Storage Tips

    +1 - thats been my strategy so far with my '07 and its working out pretty well. Plus it helps cut down on the 'itch' that a full winter storage creates!

    Finally ordered the Whipple and Suspension

    The Whipple was offered from Shelby, the KB was not. :D I guess you could argue either way, but the Whipple is produced in conjunction with Ford Racing. If your not planning to do a custom tune any time soon, a FRPP racing tune comes with the S/Cer - piece of mind? :shrug: ...the KB...

    Finally ordered the Whipple and Suspension

    If you do a search on the boards, your bound to find many MANY threads on this very topic. In my opinion and to my knowledge it all really boils down to the following: -Centrifuge SCers (Vortech, Paxton, etc.): Build HP with RPM's making excellent higher RPM HP and great for on the track...

    FOGS IN THE LOWER FASCIA

    Yup, those two vents are the optional front brake duct kit which I did not have installed from the factory (ie. Shelby shop). I'm not a bit racer so I didn't see the value at this time, BUT you never know what will come down the road. Plus, the front grill is already ready for the duct kit so it...

    Finally ordered the Whipple and Suspension

    Stock manifolds, FRPP X-Pipe w/stock cats, FRPP axel back. Give it about 6 months and thats going to change from end-to-end (thinking all MAC), but for now I like it.

    FOGS IN THE LOWER FASCIA

    If the attached photo above doesn't enlarge large enough for you, let me know and I'll email/PM you a larger version of the same photo (or just take more). Unfortunately I'm already at my max (6?!?!) photos in my garage so I can't post it there.

    Finally ordered the Whipple and Suspension

    No kids + excellent living situation + accepting and loving gf of an overly expensive habit (Mustang addicted) + great credit + financing = a small piece of the pie. The other much larger piece is the accepting that you'll be limited in what you can do or other larger purchases you can make...
