I would have thought it would be fine. People say stuff about the Camaro too like it must be horrible in the rain since it's heavy and RWD, but it's always been rock solid. That weekend when we had the crazy rain, I drove up HWY 1 from SLO through some of the worst weather I have driven through, rocks and crap on the road and everything - the car was great.

Yeah I've been driving last three days in the rain and its been great. Went to brunch yesterday and when I went outside a gentleman was looking at my car. He said he had an 08 and there was many issues with his car so he sold it. Then says that shelby did right in the '11 and fixed everything that had issues with in older gens. Him and his wife just kept checking it out and saying how beautiful they made this one. Was cool to talk to them for a bit.

At the moment not really. Down the line we might, Bryan wants me to do exhaust and coilovers but we will see. He also talked about maybe doing the SS package but again we will see. For me for now though I am pleased.

Funny you say that lol. When I started it up to drive it off the lot I looked over at my husband and said "well looks like we just stimulated a bit for the economy" then drove home lol.

ARGH so jealous.

I was checking out the mustang GT at Towne Ford in RWC the other day and was drooling over this car. If anybody doesn't think this car is beautiful I urge you to look at it in person - this is one of those cars that looks better in person than in the pictures

I knew it was a bad decision to help my parents pay their mortgage, freaking $2000/month could have bought this car instead, and go pwn foolz with it >_< I won't even get that house for another 30 or so years

^ That's good to hear Jen. Will you have to touch the front bumper? I know there isn't a license plate mounting area.

I got to see Jen's new ride the other night and it is NICE! The interior is pretty damn nice... Makes our subaru interior look like ***. Lots of attention to detail, like stainless steel door sills with a lit up logo that says "Shelby" in red... Leather, great shift ****, and lots of great things you wouldn't find on a normal mustang. BTW, the super charger is huge!




PS: In case you don't know, the super charger is the gigantic silver mechanism sitting dead center and top of the engine, so if you see the motor don't embarrass yourself and ask where the super charger is, lolol (I hope you get that Jen)
