Am talking to the dealer that I bought my '03 Torch Anniversary Vert new from back in Sept. '03 and the best deal right know is 5k over MSRP! :whine: Of course I said I'll do the deal right now for sticker but they wouldn't budge. I even offered the Sales Mgr. and Rep. $500. apiece under the table for sticker which got their attention, but then they were concerned the owner would find out and lead to bad repurcussions. Needless to say I left. I called Shelby in Vegas and as of today they have deposits on 300 '07 SS's and 150 '08 SS's. They are only converting 1000 for each model year, so I can be committed for one if I send them my $10,000 deposit. Since you get back all the parts they take off and I want the 725hp package, I figure I could sell the SC, tires and wheels, brakes/rotors; maybe even the hood and recoup the $5k. No sense holding on to that stuff since I'll never be converting back to stock. Now the problem is what color I want! :uh oh: I'm keeping the vert so I'm ruling out torch red. I'm leaning towards either Grabber Orange or Performance White. Here's the link for the colors. Oh, I've ruled out vapor metallic because I don't think there's enough pop to it. Let me know what ya'll think. http://www.mustangevolution.com/mustang-pictures/cat4/ Thanks for any and all feedback. :beer:
Just about ready to pull the trigger on '08 Super Snake
- Thread starter anvrsy red vert
- Start date
I personally would go with the Grabber O. It was my second choice after the Red.
The Grabber O looks sick on the SS. Have you seen the pics of one in the Dec. Road & Track?

I like the grabber orange, either way a SS looks badass period.
Yea, saw the pics in Road & Track. Orange and black stand out IMO and you have an option of having the calipers painted orange too. Blue, black, red are the other choice of caliper colors. I think the white with the matte black stripes is sick too. Can't make up my mind. LOL Saw alot of the Saleen PJ cars and liked the orange/black combo. White BTW passed black as the #1 color choice recently in cars nationwide so it will hold value for resale, even though I'll probably hold onto the car for a long time.
That is a sharp combo but with keeping the torch vert. I really would like a different color combo on the coup. If I was selling the vert that would be my #1 choice!
Who and how do you contact Sehlby in regards to the SS, I have thought about the SS and since I am about to send my car to the dealer I can compare the options I am considering.
These are the options I am cosidering right now and the prices I have been quoted.
frpp cai kit $800.00 , frpp exhaust sgt-s? $780.00 ,frpp handling kit $1900.00, 3.73 gears $600.00, short throw shifter $250
I was also considering a KB once the warranty expires also.I know the SS package is expensive I'm not sure how much. So any info you can give me would be helpful. Especially whay you get in the SS package and the cost.
Thanks.

Hands down I would get GO.
Grabber Orange is sweet.
Do you have a choice of the S.S. build in Vegas or Cranston? I would rather drive it to R.I. than ship it to NV. Just my .02.

I'm not fond of the G.O. I really like the Vista Blue. That looks great with white stripes or silver. I'd take white over G.O.

yep, with the black out head/tail lights like the pre-pro SS, just plain mean lookin!
blueovalkid, are you around central ohio? im just east of columbus, hoping to see your car around some time. seen a few shelbys around here but not many.
Thats a lot of money, I may give Tasca a call since I live about 40 minutes from them.
I think driving 6-8 hours to Evo would be better than going to tasca.
Cheaper perhaps and they truly know how to build a race car, I trust them with my car, Tasca has yet to prove themselves if you know what I mean, they may but just not yet as they have not really publicly released any modded GT500s that I know of or that has been posted on the net.
I gave one call to them awhile back and they gave me ridiculous figures like "well its an 8 hour job to replace springs and dampers"!

I am on the West side of Cleveland.
I will have the car at Fun Ford weekend at Norwalk this summer if you make it up for that.
I like the white a lot. Black looks tough but its a bitch to take care of.
They sound really good too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YKp92C_URw&feature=related
