Mine are, in no particular order:

* The grunt - i.e. engine, neck-snapping power delivery (when the tires finally hook up)
* Exterior styling - especially front and side profile
* Manual transmission - gotta love that short throw box; it's a slick and notchy all at the same time - just right
* The sound! I think they got the exhaust note just right - not too loud, not too quiet; see no need for a modified exhaust. I also like the subtle whine of the supercharger
* The overall rawness of the car - it's not refined, likes to spin its tires and is a bit wobbly over uneven surfaces, but that puts a smile on my face for reasons I can't quite articulate. Bottom line: it handles like a muscle car not a sports car

What do YOU like most about yours?

Actually - I'm going to add another 2 to my list above:

* Love the Recaros - so comfortable, despite limited adjustments
* Surprisingly: really like SYNC and the entire UI - so much easier to use than German equivalents - both phone and nav. This was NOT a key buying factor however; just a bonus

1. The retro styling - it looks bad ass!
2. The exhaust note - it sounds bad ass!
3. The power - with 662 HP, it is bad ass!
4. The rareness and exclusivity of owning a Shelby.
5. Cool creature comforts - glass roof, navigation, Shaker sound system

I'm sensing a theme here. Let me think about it... something about bad. No wait ass. Nope - I got it: bad ass! Sorry, took me a while.

I'm gonna throw this out there... but how about the smile it brings to everyone's face every time I drive it. Between kids at gas stations, being rushed at car shows, etc. I really think other people really enjoy the car as much as we do...
