    Anybody painted their stripes on?

    Yes I do but they use vinyl stripes for their cars. I found out later that you can opt to pay them to paint them on but I didn't even realize that was an option when I decided to Super Snake it. I have never liked the vinyl stripes. Cool Cobra's stripes look great but that process sounds...

    2013-2014 availability and values

    I think there will always be a market for a crap in your pants, live on the edge kind of car and the 2013-2014 GT500 is really that. It's not refined and the newer cars are smoother on the interior, more modern electronically, and mechanically. That said, the reason a car holds value or gains...

    Anybody painted their stripes on?

    During the pandemic my car got kicked out the garage so my wife could have a staging area for deliveries, mail, groceries. Lucky me that during the day a dove decided that the trunk stripe would be a great place to practice tap dancing. I either need to replace the trunk stripe or just have...

    Super Snake Wheels

    My car is a 2014. They sort of launched the Venice wheels with the Signature Super Snake which is a 50 car run made up of cars from 07-14. Mine are polished. I liked the look with the grey metallic body of my car. Here's a link that shows what the center caps were supposed to look like...

    Super Snake Wheels

    The Venice wheels were supposed to have a unique Signature Edition center cap but in true Shelby form they decided against it and instead put the Shelby Snake as the center cap. The wheels themselves just say Shelby American and Forged. There is not any Super Snake designation. I really like...

    Super Snake Wheels

    Actually on my Signature Edition Super Snake they put the Venice wheels on. There were only 50 Signature Super Snakes built so not a big volume with the Venice wheels but there were a few.

    $5K over sticker

    Wow, reading through this thread, those prices are nuts. 130-250k? It's a nice car but there's a lot of hefty performance company in that range.

    $5K over sticker

    Crazy fast car. I'm not getting rid of my SS anytime soon but had I not gone the Super Snake route I'd be tempted by this car. I think my next addition will be a more road course capable car. The GT350R has been tempting but I may go German. This car is going to be a lot of fun for whoever...

    PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL

    I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this thread. My wife forbade me from driving the car until the passenger side was done. So the car sat for a good 6-8 weeks, battery died and I think a spider or two enjoyed setting up a home under the car. So embarrassing that the battery died. I...

    Post most recent pics of your '13-14 GT500

    Thanks! I don't drive it nearly as much as I should. It's pretty terrible to not put miles on it like it deserves. My boys are getting a little older, 5 and 8, and they are starting to enjoy riding in it more so I figure it'll get some more miles in the coming years.

    Question on misfires

    How often is a misfire just a one off kind of deal that doesnt cause damage internally? Or is a misfire always an indication of a more serious problem? I'm in California and I've read about bad gas here so I'm wondering if a misfire from bad gas destroys your engine or if it's something that...
