Chip, As you know I totally agree with you. You are not missing anything! The SS will be a better package and less expensive because it is not going through the dealer system like the KR and IF these things are worth anything in the future, the SS will be worth more than the KR. Two...

Jack, Thanks for the offer! However, since I have a non-refundable $10,000 deposit over at SAI, I wouldn't be a future customer soon. I don't want to waste your time. But that is very nice of you:thumbsup

Chip, Thank you for your honest opinion. I got the same feeling when I read R&T. I think the only major value with the 720hp is future value. Thanks again, Jim

Yea, thats what sucks, you loose the entire warranty! The trany is a flywheel and seems loose and not very solid (then again I'm used to the FGT):biggrin

Paul, I agree about the future value issue. I just don't know if I will hate driving it all these years, just so my kids can sell the thing at B.J. for millions after I'm long gone:wink

No, no chance to test drive the cars. They haven't even started making the 07 SS's yet! The drivability is another concern. No one really knows how the car will drive! The big thing that scares me is that Shelby will not be upgrading the stock trany! There is a very nice article in the...

Okay, I finally committed to the Super Snake! Now, should I go with the 600hp or no warranty 720hp? The difference is only $4,000, not bad considering the original SS package cost. The biggest concern is loosing the years of warranty. 600hp seems like it would challenge the already weak...

By the way I think you should do the mate black stripes, so that we can drive around with the FGT and the SS and blow people away:cheers

Shelby won't commit to any dates except that it will be built sometime in 08. I am hearing by mid to late summer. Can't wait to take it to HB and show it to all you Shelby experts!

Well it's nice to know someone actually wanted the mate black stripe on black car color combo! I'm good with it now. I have not even thought about insurance! I better call my broker on Monday!

$4,000. Not too much when you consider the cost of the original package.

Well I hope you are right.....cause I just sent in the 10K Non-Refundable deposit! Now, I just need to decide if I loose the warranty and go for the 720HP. The clutch on the GT500 scares me! Plus 500hp now is pretty crazy, I would think 600hp would put it over the top as it is

Okay, one last question and then I'll leave you guys alone.....Should I play it safe and stay with the 600hp or should I go for the 700 plus hp? The clutch on the GT500 is pretty sloppy (it's not the FGT clutch). So I am a little worried about going over 700hp and loosing the warrantee. The...

Going For It! Hey Everyone, Thanks for all the input for and against. I think I'm going for it! Mate Black on Black will look very "Vader Like". I'll send pictures when she's had her surgery. Probably by the end of summer next year I would guess. Thanks Again!!!

I don't think that Shelby will be clear coating the stripes. I know for sure it is just tape and like on my car, they will have to remove the existing stripes to put on the mate black. But, I will check with Shelby...somehow I don't think they will go through the trouble of clear coating over...

Good question on the waxing! Does anyone have any idea about this?

Yes, they have committed to up tp 1000 pr. model year. They have around 700-2007s on the list and around 100-2008s on the list. So it may be less than the 1000 pr. year they were planning. This is the same amount they are planning for the KR. By the way, since those are sold through the...

Before I commit to big $$$ for a super snake conversion I would like evryones opinion on the mate black stripe on a black car. What do you guys think? Here's a picture of a computer generated black car with the mate stripe I got from Shelby;

I just got a black GT500 and want to have her sent to Shelby for the Super Snake as well. The only thing holding me back is the mate black stripes on the black car. How does everyone feel about that color combo?

Thanks Bony! I bought one for the FGT from California, just not the best fitting in the world. I know that the Shelby options show a cover, but I assume that is just similar to the one we got with the FGT? I'll check out California's web site. Thanks again!
