first off, congrats on the GT500, it's very sharp!

second, regarding the clutch TSB, the more searching you do, the more you'll worry...trust me. I've read where some had their clutch go out with several hundred miles on the car to some that had it go out with several thousand miles. I've even read where some have had several clutches put in their car to have problems everytime?? All I can do is say drive it, enjoy it and if you have problems, go get it fixed. The one thing I do to check my car, which I've heard appears to be one of the first signs of the clutch going out, is to put the car on level ground and with the car in first gear let off the brake (clutch still engaged), if the car pulls forward, you've got a problem, if it doesn't, you're good.

LOL.... I think you left out the first sentence from those reports.... "outside of the Vista Blue with white stripe gt500's, stripe delete black gt500s are one of the faster color shelby's"

I think you mean disengaged Clutch Peddle Depressed. The Dealers are supposed to do a test to confirm by lifting the cars rear tires and going through the gears with the Clutch disengaged. Any wheel spin the TSB can be done.

Normally I hate anything bigger than a 18" rim, but those look really good on that car with that color and stripe.
