questions:
1. the pony projector from the bottom of the side mirror isnt there?

2. does the top not go down flush? it looks like it would go down another 2" or so.....the gt/cs i test drove also did this, so i assume its how it is?

3.ive been told its 1 out of 5 with this color combo for a convertible...can anyone confirm the rarity?

its all cleaned up and under a car cover until the weather improves

Thanks for Chris! for all his help and all the other members for answering all my questions....more questions to come im sure!!

The top doesn't go down flush. My 2006 GT and the 2012, or 2013, V6 car I rented last year also didn't go down as flush. They look like they should go down a little more. I tried the boot once or twice and the car looks better with it on, but it is such a hassle to put on I only did it a few times when I first got the car.

# 2 - that is normal. I thought the same thing when I got mine.

#3 go to fordshowparts.com in the April time frame as I recall and you can order your build sheet info and certificate for like $45.

Nice job!!!!! I'll bet after that drive you never thought it would come clean. I'm glad you were able to get her back to showroom condition.

question!!!
i keep getting warned about the car being squirlly under full acceleration

i know the 2012's are very difficult to control

but i thought the 2013's TC took care of most of that???

will i be able to go all out in a straight line, shift to 2nd and 3rd without any chance of a spin out????

my Challenger is 100% control....i can take a turn and floor it 1/2 way through the turn....it jumps a bit, but the TC holds that car perfectly...its almost impossible to loose control.......

does the Shelby TC work as well???? from the video's ive seen i think the answer is NO

can i take the family from 0-100mph for fun or will i kill my family?/?

Its the tires with the low temps- anything under 45* it's like ice skating!

That being said- even when it's 80 out- with GYs it can be a little squirly

Remember- that chellenger is down about 200hp and weighs more
