If there is no "S" in the VIN, then he is a POSER !

I suspect he is a poser with all the tacky add-ons on that car anyways.

Not only is it a convertible Z, it's also a convertible automatic Z.

Should be auctioned for big $$ - a real rare collectors car.

That got to be one of one. Damn I thought you could only see worthless threads like this one in the C4 section. Lots of people selling C4 love to call them ZR-1s.

I can do better than this. A 50-60 year old guy at my gym owns a "2010 Mustang GT Cobra". Yes you read that right...a genuine one of one GT Cobra. Not a Shelby GT, not a Shelby GT500, but a GT Cobra that he says a Ford dealer sold him brand new. I told him no such thing exists and that he got took and he said no he has paperwork to prove it. So he goes to the car and returns with an insurance verification which says Mustang GT Cobra, like that makes it authentic. What is the funniest and yet saddest thing is that the car has the 2010 GT fender badge and above it a Cobra snake fender badge stuck right above it. It is the stupidest thing I have ever seen on a car! This poor tool thinks to this day he has a car which Ford developed before they came out with the new Shelby GT500.

The least he could have done is put on the faux rear brake vents and front grills like everyone else.
