Yes pics please!  How does it compare to your 2015 GT?

There is no comparison to the 2015 GT, even though both were six speeds.  The Shelby does everything so perfectly, I do know how to even compare it to any other car I have ever driven. Huge power.  Huge brakes. Great exhaust system. Flip a switch for quiet or 6sally6 mode.
Only thing I want to change is the color of the wheels. I just do not get this totally black wheel thing.

Build quality as far as hood/body gaps and stripe install is not nearly as good as the 2015 GT convertible.

   Good to know. Don't know a lot about the new Shelby's but looking on Ebay there's a $65,000 Shelby and a $99,000 Shelby.   What version did you buy?   I agree with with the Black Wheels!  I like the Black with certain color cars but most I like the Aluminum Rims.

Love the car, don't get the black wheel thing, either.  Jr. picked up a second set of OEM wheels for his ctsv that had minor road rash.  He took them to the local wheel shop, and had them refurbished, and the shop talked him into powder coating them with multiple shades.  Spokes were one shade, barrel of the wheels and barrels for the lug nuts were a different shade.  Back side is black, which keep that part of the wheel from looking dirty from brake dust, but smooth finish makes them easy to clean.  Very subtle, but different from any other V out there.  Wheel guys can coat them any way you imagine. Think about it for awhile, then get them refinished how YOU want them.

Of course, "drive it like you stole it....."

Prices not as bad as they used to be. http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-2017-Ford-Shelby-GT350-c25877

That is a huge change. I was looking to buy one last year and every dealer that could get one marked it up $30,000. The dealers I talked to were certain they would get it, so they wouldn't even talk a deal. I informed the sales manager I had a long memory and left.

I know most dealerships rely on most of their customers being witless boobs to make most of their profit, but posting "+ $30,000" on the sticker for their walkins and accepting MSRP from their more savvy customers seems insane even for car dealers.

The whole car buying process make me ill!  The games dealers play!  When the new body style came out in 05 (I believe) Lisa really wanted one on Legend Lime.  We drove down to South St. Louis County on new years day 2006 to look at one that a dealer had.  They had it priced at MSRP +3000!  yeah right! We looked and looked and I told several dealers to kiss my @#$!  Finally in September of 06 I drove by a Dealer about 30 miles from home and saw this Legend Lime 06 Sitting there!  I looked at it several times and it was what we wanted except it had the premium package with leather seats etc that we really didnt want.  I also saw where Ford was offering 0% interest for 6 years on in stock Mustangs.  I called a salesman that I knew that worked there and asked him for a price.  He said they would sell it for $400 over invoice.  I asked him for a final price and he quoted me (If I remember correctly) $29100 it stickered for A bit over $32000.  I asked if the 0% still applied, he said yes!  I said SOLD!!  I figured that was probably the best deal I have ever got on buying a car.  It pays to stay clear of the hype!!  

NICE CAR STEVE
