Yep, drive it, how else do you get your money's worth

Rain is something to be feared in this car. Traction is slippery enough as it is. I think you'd have to be insane drive this car in the snow.

That's a sick lookn' ride! I just saw a ZL1 in my area, looked pretty sick as well.

Yeah I saw a ZL1 about a week ago. It was the dark gray with black wheels and trim. My jaw fell to the floor. It looks pretty nice in person. In fact, purely from photos online, I thought the ZL1 looked a little better than the GT500. But now having seen them both in person, I like them equally but lean towards the GT500 as the edgy lines of the ZL1 are a little too flashy for me (but I'd still love to have one).

Heck at my power levels (over 750hp) don't fear all but I definitely respect what my car can do enough to drive smart.. I sure wish I had the new traction control and launch control the 13's have... Seem like fun... That and the electronic suspension...
Mine I have to go out and manually adjust ... LOL
But yes agree with money's worth comment... Heck I didn't pay out this dough to look at it.. I would have bought a picture to look at...
Good luck again with your beautiful ride!!!

Congratulations! I'm getting so jealous of these 13's, heck I couldn't even imagine owning the 13 Shelby. Beautiful car, I love your sig pic!

Throttle pretty easy to modulate so you get light torque when you want it? I'd love one, but living in Oregon where it rains 70% of the year, not sure how it would do. And then theres the $60k I gotta find . . .

Sure, it's easy to modulate between 500ft/lbs and 600ft/lbs at the wheels hahaha!

500ft/lbs at 2000 rpms takes some practice with these skinny 285 wheels.
