here is a question for you guys...I know 90-95% of you guys ordered your cars so you got exactly what you wanted but the rest, like myself bought it as the dealer ordered it...my question is if you could change one thing about your rides, or wished you ordered it different what would you change?

for me I wish I had bought the Ruby Red or DIB stripe delete with a glass roof...those car just look awesome to me...

I bought mine off the showroom floor...

But it is set up EXACTLY the way I would have ordered it. I took that as a sign from heaven. :D

Well it seems like every time I see another color combo I second guess my decision for a minute... overall, I am happy with my decision. I bought mine off the showroom floor and sometimes wish I would have found a glass roof.

Wish I had glass roof and DSM for a color.
I didn't order mine, someone else did. When they couldn't follow through my dealer called me and the rest was history.

I liked several color/stripe combos. I found the black with red very sharp. my 05 GT was black, so I really did not want another black, but if I got one I wanted it with red stripes.

I love the way the Race Red and Grabber Blues look with white stripes, but I was concerned about how the stripes & seats would look over time, as I drive it daily.

At first I was not too excited about RR, but then when I saw some other guys on here pics, it changed my mind. Plus my car fit it in my budget, and like someone on here said, all that really matters is that monster under the hood and thats the truth, the rest is just my OCD flaring up.

I guess if I could change ONE thing, it would be to something that wasn't available... I would like to have GB stripes on my seats (Car is GB with black stripes, so seat stripes are black).

Maybe would have ordered Nav. I ordered mine without, had a '08 GT and have a '11 F350 with Nav, hate the permanent fingerprints on them, makes it look tacky and old, tried cleaning, but still there. Didn't want that in the Shelby. If I travel and need GPS, I stick a Garmin on the windshield and travel on.

Actually the only thing I would regret is not getting one. Regardless of options, color.....etc. I had given up on one until a month ago when my dealer told me he found one for me since he knows I love cars and did want one when they first came out, but my dealer did not sign up to sell them.

That you can go to the Ford dealer and buy a 200+ MPH 662HP car for 55-65K depending on options is just crazy and maybe just a once in a lifetime opportunity..........Steve

I wish it had a telescoping steering wheel. Seems inexcusable for a car not to have one nowadays. I go back and forth on the track pack. Not needed on a street car and it doesnt get THAT hot in PA. But I still kinda wish I had gotten it. I think if Ford had offered a larger radiator or intercooler they would have had a much better buy rate.

When I had my white/red 2013, I wished I had ordered a glass roof and a darker color. So my 2014 is sterling gray/black and has a glass roof! :beer:

You couldn't order any combination and it look bad though.

Mine was exactly the way I wanted it minus the Recaros, but I found it on a dealer lot. But having now sat in a recaro car, I am glad it has the base seats so it all worked out well. It has PP, TP, NAV and that's all. Perfect for me. My one bugaboo about the car is that the dealer had it sitting in their show room and drilled the front for a license plate.

Glass Roof!! My car is white/red stripe. I didn't think a glass top would match well. Then, I saw a pic of the exact car with the glass top. Looks great! So I'll always be kickin myself in the butt for not getting it!
