[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 13567950, member: 134833"] I specially ordered my 2013 Shelby GT500 in June 2012 and checked off every factory option, including the glass roof. The sticker was $69,085 and I got approximately $2,200 off sticker plus only paid a $149 DOC fee. My car is Deep Impact Blue with white stripes and is 1 of only 630 or so with the glass roof. I have had it two weeks shy of a full year now and it has 5,350 miles on it. That's much more than I will put on in a typical year but I wanted to ensure I didn't have the clutch or rear end whine that others experienced on here within the first 12 months where Ford is much more likely to do something about it. I do enjoy driving mine in nice weather and having fun spirited drives but it is also the Queen of my garage and meticulously maintained. ;-) I go back and forth on minor engine mods such as tune, TB, CAI, pulley, etc. but have done nothing yet. I also have all of the documents from the ordering and build process. At 200 miles I removed the original wheels and tires, air filter, oil filter, windshield wipers and floor mats and put them in safe storage. Sans the mileage, I could restore my car to its original new condition within a few hours. At the end of the day even if the next gen Shelby/Cobra is that much better of a car and these depreciate a little I will still get to take out and enjoy this cool purchase/investment unlike the 401K I max out and the mutual funds/stocks I hold.
