Default Drifting away...

I sold my '05 Coupe and will be picking up
my '12 Shelby GT500 this Saturday.

Wolfdogs, Racer, Razor... Its been fun to watch you
work your magic on the Forum at large. There are many
other members out there who helped me when I needed
it. For that I thank you!

I will take what I've learned from Wolfdogs about Zaino
and spread it to the masses.

I'm sure I will return to the Corvette fold sometime in the
future and will 'tune in' to the CF from time to time for the laughs.
This Forum has a selection of the brightest people out there.

But if you see a red Shelby Mustang with silver stripes in the So Central PA area and the driver waves? Its me. I will still save the wave.

As ever,

Mark

PS Its supercharged!

Can't believe you aren't waiting for the 2013 GT500!? Having "the most powerful production V8" would be well worth the money, and another 140hp is nothing to sneeze at.

Good luck with your new car, nonetheless!

You know what's funny is I was at a dealer last Saturday that just sold the ZR1 they had to a local guy that traded a Shelby GT 500 in on it. He might be back sooner than we think. Congrats on your new car.
