There's a Monster in my garage!

[acroholic]

Well, I finally found a decent price on a 2013 GT500 in my area at a price I could live with. Just drove it home last night. 2013 GT500, black with matte black stripes, smoked wheels, 821A performance package, Shaker Pro, electronics package w/nav, and SVT Track Pack. Only thing I would have wanted was recaros, but definitely not a deal breaker for me. I'll post pics in a bit.

It was dark and the streets were wet, so I took it easy driving home last night. Been sitting in the garage since I got it home. Hope to take it out for a spin later today. Everyone at the dealership was hoping I wouldn't wreck it on the way home (night and wet streets), but I've had some pretty high HP cars in the past (Vipers and Vettes), so I kinda knew what to expect.

Congrats. Can't wait to see pics.

When I think about our similar, but two different monsters, this comes to mind...

Congrats! The black on black is a stunning combination and it sounds like you got all the most important options. Enjoy!

Word of warning: Watch out when it's cold! The tires on our cars are extremely slick and hard when they are cold. Combine that with wet streets and it can be very dangerous if you aren't familiar with the car yet. The tires aren't recommended when temps are below 40 degress, but even at higher temps, the tires require LOTS of warm up before they have any grip whatsoever. Ford made a mistake putting these tires on the car. They are not good for daily use, especially if you make lots of short trips.

That's because the GT500 was built for the drag strip. oke:

Just busting your chops. You're right. Gotta watch out with these F1's. They've been the reason behind my butt puckering a couple times in my lowly '12.

Congrats! Now ditch the OE Goodyears ASAP & get some safer tires. Michelin Pilot Super Sports are highly recommended, or Continental DWS if you must drive in the snow a lot.
