    New coupe, fuel related question

    Hey all. I just bought my next project, a 91 coupe, 5.0 5 speed. It’s definitely a project. I got if off a guy who started to repaint it a couple of years ago and lost the time and interest. He says it ran when he pulled it in the garage, but after sitting it wouldn’t start. Car has a...

    Jean-Claude Van Johnson

    Fans of Jean Claude Van Damne and Amazon Prime subscribers should check out the pilot of his new comedy. They just released the pilot, and it is pretty good. I don't want to spoil it, but if you grew up with Jean Claude you will enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjeAOK8BKZs

    So Fast Five is on

    And it's kind of eerie watching Paul Walker trying to escape the car hauler that is on fire while gas is leaking towards the flame.

    DSLR crew, advice needed

    I'm looking to buy a nice camera for my wife for Christmas. Mostly for family pictures, but would see some business use for real estate and special events. A wide angle lens is a must for getting good interior shots of homes, and I'd like the ability to shoot decent video. Other than that, I...

    Question about x-plan

    Does anyone know how Ford rebates work with x-plan? Can you stack rebates on top of the x-plan price, or is there a cutoff point on how cheap you can get a car?

    Shelby finally arrived

    [/URL][/IMG] Well after many years of waiting for the right time to buy a new Shelby, the car finally is in my garage. I sold my 03 Cobra back in the winter of 2008 in order to start saving for a new 08 GT 500. Unfortunately life threw a few curve balls at my wife and I in our attempts to...

    Starting a FAQ for the 13/14 Shelbys

    I'm surprised that this hasn't happened yet, but we should pull together all of the good info that has been figured out over the past year. With the 14's starting to go into production, it might save repetitive questions. I seem to remember a .pdf put together for the terminators back in the...

    How does the order process go

    I have a couple of questions about the order process. First, I asked my dealer what quarter his allocation was, and he told me it was a March build date. But as of now, my order still shows unscheduled. Does that mean, in theory, that my order should be pulled in the next couple of weeks...

    Question about Dora and order number

    I was looking at my VOC and the priority number is 99, which I know is not good. I do have a copy of the DORA, and I called SVT and they verified the order. Now, I don't care if I have one of the first 2014's. In fact, the later the car arrives the better. Ideally the car would arrive around...

    Talked to SVT today

    Got my DORA today from my dealer and called in to SVT. They confirmed the order and said that build dates should start to be scheduled after the 1st of the year. Just an FYI.

    Question about new 14 order

    I've been working with a dealer (sales manager) for awhile on ordering a new shelby. He called when the order banks opened and I went in and went over the options that I want. I haven't heard any updates on the order, so I emailed and he said that in the system the order number was 9999 and it...

    Question for '13 owners

    If you could only pick 3 options what would they be? I am planning on ordering a '14, but can't decide on what to go with. My first choice is the pp, but after that I don't know. Is the glass roof worth it? If it came at the expense of not getting the navigation, which would you rather have...

    Question on number Shelbys being built.

    Ford stated earlier in the year that they would build as many Shelbys as they could sell. Now the way that they are doing the allocations, it seams that isn't the case. Why can't they just allow any dealer that wants one the ability to order it? If 10,000 people want one, what is the problem...

    X files 2 review (no spoilers)

    I went to see the new X files movie Sunday night. It was pretty good, but if you are expecting any of the gov't conspiracy to be discussed, you will be disappointed. For those who don't remember, the series ended with Mulder being on the run after being sentenced to death by the government. I...

    Its that time again, NPD console sales for August

    360 did pretty good, but the Wii is still trouncing everything. Too bad it doesn't seem to move 3rd party software. I wonder if 3rd party developers will ever take the Wii seriously even though it has sold so many consoles. Hardware Unit Sales PlayStation 2 202K PlayStation 3 130.6K...
