Some people just have better sphincter control, lol.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

It’s been awhile!

Sorry I couldn't get my images to post

Amazing build and best color combo around! Enjoy it.

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...

I don't remember anything formal but what is the consensus on years of production for the R? I sense an openning with my wife and I'm not one to pay over MSRP so I want to know what kind of sales pitch I need for her. Might have to wait for the secondary market in a couple years.

On the 07-14 GT500s, was the glass roof always an option or did it come later? I think it would look great on the GT350.

I ask this question because of the 2 year old thread that was raised from the dead and the poster who sold his Shelby to buy a Porsche. BTW, I think he's dead on with his belief that the Porsche will increase in value but when I see a lot of people discussing a Porsche bubble I think the timing...

I finally have my car. It hasn't been that long but it seems like an eternity. A few bumps along the way, wrong seat covers, missing stripe, wrong tires, being called bro at every turn by my sales guy, etc. Hopefully I won't have a lot of mechanical things go wrong but I'll have to see as the...

I ask because I've got my GT500 which I love but my wife loves the new body style. Problem is that she can't drive a stick, has no desire to learn and there's no chance of getting the car unless she can drive it. I've read the answer is no, but I'm hoping I just haven't read the right things.

Trying to decide what I want to do with the rear quarter window. Right now I have Shelby leaving it as is because my boys ride in the back seat sometimes so I think it'd be nice to have a window. That said, they are putting block off plates in the trunk for me to put on later if I want. I...

I think it will look pretty cool on the cars, especially if its matte, but what is the origin of it? I've seen carbon fiber roofs before, tinted glass roofs, but I haven't seen a lot of plain painted black roofs. Is it purely aesthetic or did it have a purpose at one time? Thanks, I was just...

I thought I'd post some pics as I get them. The first pic is one I saw on twitter. My car is in the background with its hood up between the GB and white cars. Just starting the process. It got there on 5/21.

I have 1800 miles on the car and it's at Shelby being Super Snaked right now. I'd like to sell all my takeoff parts, brakes, supercharger, wheels/tires, seat skins, hood, etc as a lot. $4000 takes the lot and you'll just need to arrange for pickup or shipping of the parts from Shelby. It's a...

Drove past a red GT500 parked on a driveway on Woodman just north of Chandler in Sherman Oaks today. It had a massive hood. What was under the hood?
