Sad to see you go. Enjoy your new ride. You will probably be coming back on what FORD means backwards (Driver Return On Foot).
Congrats on car

My second choice and agree you may want to wait for the 2013 to come out. 650 hp nothing to sneeze about. Good Luck and enjoy.

Wait for the 2013.
I have a buddy who works for Shelby out in Vegas..that new Cobra is going to be SICK.
Its gonna eat any regular Vette for lunch, and possibly even the Z06.
2013!!

2012 GT500's better be SERIOUSLY discounted with the 2013 coming out. It will make the 2012 completely obsolete.

That and winter is due any time made for a hail mary play
by the dealer. My car has been in their showroom for a while.
Summer cars are off the road here in PA. They had to unload it.
Truth be known, I'll probably drive it for a couple of years and then get
the itch for a black C6 of some sort. What ever model, it will have 3 pedals and a stir stick. No more autos.
Wanted a Shelby ever since my Dad rented one from Hertz
in '66 ('67?) for a weekend. I was about 10 and he picked me up after a little league game in it and I was a star for weeks at school! Not real sure but I think he went racing that weekend.

Poconos! Have you put your fun cars to bed yet Corby OR
are you still getting in the last few days of unsalted roads?
Hoping to get a few days of clear weather to Zaino the new one before
it does the hibernation gig.

All the old stuff is tucked away. The 'vette is prepared for hibernation but if the weather continues like it is, it's comming back out. Hoping to get out Christmas day as well.

Why not try different rides, after a few years when you get bored with it the C7 will be here. Best of all worlds for you
