Default New 2010 GT500 owner.

I ordered a 2011 GT, but I saw this car and I couldn't pass it up. I got what I think was a good price, at least for this area. I like the color and it had the options I want. So far I have only put 80 miles on it, but I think I am going to be very happy with it. I will get some better pictures up tomorrow, this is from the dealership. Now I have to go tell the other dealer I won't be getting to 2011 GT and try to get my deposit back, that will be fun.

First impressions are that it is more comfortable, easier to drive, than I thought it would be. I would have no problem using this car for a daily driver. Though it won't be my daily car. Power is awesome when I get on it, but easily manageable with a lighter foot. I will put some miles on this weekend.

Nice choice, good-looking ride. I like the matte black stripes.

Thanks everyone, I feel very lucky to be able to get this car.

I paid $49,895 1 K off MSRP. It was more than I was looking to spend, but I had to do it. I was going to pay 40k for the 2011 GT. Throw on a supercharger and you are at the price of this car. I am going to have to tighten my belt for a while and get some savings built back up before any mods start. I have heard of better deals, but there were none to be had around here. Everyone at the dealership was nice. Small place everyone there seemed to like the car, it had been in the showroom for a month or so.

I was reading about that and I don't fully understand it. I will have to do some more reading.
