So long!

I have not posted up too much but I have met a few of you a while ago when the cars/coffee at Fairfax, Va first kicked off.

I traded in the Z and picked up a 2010 Shelby GT500 (limited/signed by Carol Shelby) The car is in absolute MINT condition so, I could not pass this up.

Z was a great car and when I traded in the Z I actually got a lot more than I thought I would but that was mostly because the dealership really worked with me.

Anyhow, the Z was a great fun car, I do not have anything bad to say about it at all. Why did I trade? Well, love it or hate it the GT500 is one of my absolute favorite cars. I considered a GTR however, the maintenance costs are a bit more than I am willing to spend. Who knows, maybe at some point I will pick up a GTR and park it along side my Shelby.

Be safe!!! Also, for anyone in the area I have my Ark Technologies true dual GRiP Prototype 2 exhaust for sale locally. I'd like to get $300 or best offer. Exhaust only has 10K miles and is in great condition. Sounds amazing and after putting on the stock exhaust I could tell the power and response difference. PM if interested! I will post up a sale ad as soon as I get pictures but if anyone wants a kick *** exhaust locally now is your chance. Driving the Z with the stock exhaust sucked...not sure how some people do it to be honest!

Congrats, best bang for you buck in my opinion. Not a big fan of the looks but ya that sound and torque displacement is Money.

mind if I ask what they gave you for the trade in?

chris410 · 05-27-2012, 07:17 AM

Thanks everyone! Here are some dealer pics, not sure how long the dealer will keep them up.

2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Sterling, Virginia | Koons Sterling Ford

Trade in price I managed the "excellent" which was 24k I dont think I could have done better in this area so, I am happy with how the numbers turned out. As far as the car, i knew it was in good shape but when I saw it, I was speechless, it is in perfect condition.

Congrats! Feel free to stop by the meets if you want! Everyone is always welcome regardless of what they are driving.

Nice car..

A torque monster..

Muscle cars are great, whether it is a Chevy or a Ford, or a Nissan..

Enjoy...

Pintsize725 · 05-27-2012, 11:02 AM

Congrats! Definitely worth the trade.

864Zbeast · 05-27-2012, 12:02 PM

Congrats!!

It's kinda sad... a lot of the old guys are trading in/selling the Z's for other cars and leaving. I'll probably follow suit soon as well, with the new turbo m3's coming soon

I'm keeping my Z regardless. I'm already saving for tthe next ride and FI for this one. But the Z stays... I will add to the collection, not switch out.

Spoken by a "True Z fanatic".

That's a good looking car . . Enjoy !

When is the next fairfax meet? If I can make it out I will. Z will always have respect, what a great car!

chris410 · 05-27-2012, 11:35 PM

If I could have kept the Z I would have

but I could not afford both.
