Default Buying Shelby, First Mustang

Well, I am buying a Shelby in about 18 days, flying in from Afghan to pick her up. Never owned a Mustang before or a v8 or a rear wheel drive. I am very cautious of its power and what not, so won't be hitting any crowds.

Wanted a nice looking car, looked at CTSVs, Audis, Camaros, Jeep SRT, BMW m3/m5. I just wanted a nice car to cruise in with some power but not to ricerish or to kid like.


Found this bad boy and thought yup that's the car I can see myself in.

Already ordered a Raxiom Nav / Cam unit and Valentine 1 which will be installed before I get the car.

Congrats.
Looks like it has some mods, make sure you get all the documentation, & ask lots of questions..
...................( GT500 owners usually have a folder & save all their paperwork )
If it has an aftermarket tune, who's tune & does it have a hand held.
The more you know up front, the less chance of issues after you sign the papers.
If it's @ a dealership, you want the contact info for the previous owner..
.....................Good luck !!

Just my 2ยข, but Raxiom products are ALL cheap junk.
Don't waste your time, effort, money on ANYTHING Raxiom
