Just curious as to who's ordered a new 2019 GT350, other than me! I ordered mine on 02/08/2019. According to Ford's track your car site, it was produced 03/22/2019 and is waiting to be shipped. Apparently the shipping process is a little behind but is ramping up now, according to Ford. Mine...

Over the past two years I've been in regular contact with Colgan Car Bra company (now owned by Covercraft) trying to get them to design a new bra for the 2013 and 2014 GT500. After talking to their CEO, they have come through and now have a high quality bra for our car's protection. Colgan (now...

My dealer friend just took delivery of a 2014 GT500 with Recaro's, SVT track package & electronics package, in Sterling grey metallic with black LeMans stripe and car cover. He is selling it for MSRP. If anyone is interested in getting the last of the species, PM me for more details. Its a very...

Got an e-mail from my dealer. My car is scheduled for production on the last week in July. He also gave me my VIN. Looks like things are going smoothly, so far. Hey Cobra Fred, am I ahead of you again? As a side note, they already sold my beloved 2011 trade-in. As goes the old addage of bacon...

Well, here in Md. the weather is cooling and my non-SVTPP, 2011 Shelby's stock Goodyears are getting hard as Chinese mathamatics. As most of you know, finding All-Season tires for these beasts is a real challange. I like to drive the car through the winter when the roads are clear and dry, so...

Just received an e-mail from a friend with an attached article indicating that Ford announced that they are limiting production of the 2011 GT500 to 5,500 units. Looks like the 2011's will be a little more exclusive by numbers, alone, then the previous models. Just glad I bought one instead of...

I know I'll receive some criticism over not posting pictures yet, but the process is a little over my computer skills/abilities, so you'll have to use your imagination. Mind you, I'm moving from a 2007 GT500 that was basically stock with a JLT tune. My first impression was the build quality...

Well,..... more crappy news. I'm going to provide this information for the benefit of those of us with ordered 2011 GT500s as any information is better than nothing. I called Ford Customer Service just a few minutes ago and was told that my Shelby is to be transported by United Road Service and...

Just got a call from my dealer and after being held at Flat Rock, Michigan for almost four weeks, (accompanied by much teeth grinding) my 2011 Shelby GT500 has been released and is being shipped. Should have the car in ten days or less. I'll try to get some photos posted up (with help of...

As many of you know, myself and a number of others have ordered 2011 GT500s, have received confirmation that they were produced, and then no other information. I've spoken with my dealer, SVT, and Ford customer service, adinfinitum, and no one has given me any more information as to the status...

Dealer just advised that my car has been produced and was sent to the body shop for striping on 04/14/2010. ETA to the dealer is 04/24/2010. This is very stressful for an old guy!! I am hoping for a late April delivery. Now have to get busy to get my mind off this car!

Have ordered a 2011, and my 2007, Performance white, LeMans stripe delete, GT500 is for sale. (has the guardsman blue side stripe) It is in pristine condition, has 19,500 miles, no accidents, or dings. Gargage queen. Modifications: JLT CAI w/tune, BMR rear lowering springs, BMR adjustable...

Just got a call from my dealer that my 2011 GT500 has been scheduled to be built on 04/13/2010. He gave me my VIN, as well. Ordered performance white with the grabber blue LeMans stripe. No SVT package, glass roof or navigation system. Should be an awesome car. Now have to sell the 2007 GT500...

For those of you living in the DC metro area, they have a new Shelby GT500 on display at the D.C. convention car show. I kind of like the front grill area but don't like the looks of the cheap looking plastic vent on the hood. The interior looks nice and is an improvement. The rear end does not...

Just received the July issue of MM. They interviewed Carroll and he responds to the recent spate of law suites. Having not heard his side of the story, especially with respect to SAAC, I believe he made his points quite succinctly. If his responses are correct, then I think he has some valid...

After having my GT500 for almost a year and putting 14K on her, I finally ran out of luck. Was N. bound on 95 in N.C., heading home from Fla. A semi pulling a flatbed trailer was in front of me and the driver had tools and other materials on the flatbed, w/o any cover. As luck would have it and...

Could one of you fine folks give me some of the sites where accessories for my GT500 are available for order; such as small cosmetic add-ons etc. Also any clothing related sites. I know about the Fordaccessoresstore site but thats it. Want to give my family a wish list! Thanks for your help, in...

Bought new by me in 1999. I gave it to my daughter as a college graduation present. She is now married with children and needs a larger car. The car is in Panama City Beach, Florida. The car has been well maintained by the local Ford dealership and oil changed every three to four thousand...

I need some quick advise. My daughter's 99 Contour SVT has been failing to start periodically. Turn on ignition , push in clutch and nothing. After Off and On several times and pushing clutch in, it will start. I'm a 1000 miles away so can't do proper diagnosis. I'm thinking the safety switch...

Can anyone help refernce excessive front and back play in the shifter of my daughter's 99 CSVT? Seems excessive, shifter doesn't jump out of gear or anything but while in any gear, I can move the shift lever three or four inches before it stops. Is there any adjustment? or is this wear and tear...

Can someone give me the exact diameter of the Shelby GT500 exhaust tip?

I completed the install early this morning to beat this east coast heat wave we're in. Installation was straightforward and all went well. I then called Jay at JLT and he quickly walked me through the tune procedure that in retrospect, I probably could have done without bothering him. Just got...

Just got a call from JLT and they are shipping my JLT cold air intake system out today. Should arrive tomorrow since I'm pretty close to Northern Va. Hope this is a good idea. After I've had all the issues with trying to lower the rear of the Shelby, I think I'm getting snake bit! Jay made the...

I like the ride quality of my GT500 but don't like the nose down, rear up, rake of the car. I installed a set of rear springs from the Eibach Pro kit (didn't install the front springs that came with the kit) and it leveled the car perfectly; however, it degraded the ride quality in the rear so...

I want to install an aircharge system on my new Shelby GT500. I have viewed several posts on this subject and have read that the K&N system supposedly changes the A/F ratio to the point of the engine running too lean. I spoke with a technician at K&N today and he indicated they have had no...
