Hey there,

I recently pulled the trigger on a 2012 with svtpp and tech packages. All I can say is wow! This car is awesome! I have had my fair share of AWD machines, but none of them compare to this thing from a roll. I hope to meet you fellow Seattle area guys in the near future, I have a lot to learn about this beast! Sorry for the bad quality pics, taken from a phone.

Hey Ben,
I also go to SARC three times a week most times on M,W,F around 11Am to 1Pm. Hopefully I can meet you there if that falls within you schedule. I would also invite you to join our mustang club. We have 5 Shelby GT500s in the club so some local interest. Look forward to seeing your ride....Where, what business, do you park on Washington in Sequim?

Right on man. That's an excellent choice! I didn't think people in Sequim (pronounced "skwim" to you non-NW folks, lol) had a car dealership with a GT500 in it if any at all lol!! Or did you have to drive into the big city to get 'er? Just teasing man. I lived in Olympia for many years and plan to move back next year, so hopefully I'll see ya around!

Congrats and welcome to the site!

408 Stroker,
Nice, I'll haft to come by and say hi, Its usually parked in front or in back of Sequim Gym, I've kind of turned into a gym rat since it started to get cold :) I would love to join the club!! For the population of Sequim there are alot of Shelbys roaming around. Its pretty cool!

Alcan Cobra,
Hey, nice to see another AK guy on the board, I lived there for 23 years prior to moving to Sequim 2 years ago. My Northern Lights and Benson Car was/is a 500hp Talon pushing 30 psi on pump gas (90 Octane) and alcohol injection. I loved that car...but it would have gotten its lunch money taken by the Shelby :P.

wpuccineli,
I'm up for a cruise anytime!! It would be cool to get all of them up hurricane ridge for a photo shoot.

Terrible One,
Yeah, picked her up in September from the local ford dealer for 51K. No one could beat that price anywhere I looked at the time :)

Awesome! Glad you could pick her up for a good price. You'll find they're not very rain friendly with all that power but it's sooooo worth it anyway, lol. I've gone through all kinds of different performance cars, from an IROC-Z to a BMW M3 to a Subaru STi to a F-150 SVT Lightning and none of them compare to the GT500.
