    Hey everyone - I just purchased a 2012 GT500 with the 750 hp Ford Racing kit (2.9 whipple), Borla exhaust, shift kit, and one piece driveshaft. The car is almost famous since it was purchased from F40 Motorsports (Chasing Classic Cars) in Portland CT and can be seen when they filmed the front of the dealership this season. It is practically brand new with only 590 miles and is balck with the red stripe and has the performance package. Currently it is sitting under a cover in my garage waiting for some good weather to come our way. 165.jpg

    Wow, very cool. Thanks for sharing. I think I saw your car on one of the episodes last night.

    I remember an episode where he visited a 427 Cobra in a dinghy garage. The owner started it right up and they went for a drive. Maybe its that one?
    Anyway, great color combo on your Shelby. Congratulations!

    Actually this is a different one that they just pulled out of a garage in New Jersey. I am sure you will see more of it in next seasons episodes. Their operation is very impressive and I will be inclined to get my next toy from them.
