Okay so today I was at a local cruise-in for our monthly SVTOA-Toronto club meeting (The Canadian Tire at Dundas & the 403)
We start yakking as people roll in and at one point I mentioned off handedly that it was a shame that Ford didn't see fit to offer the new 2011 Mustang GT automatic with the Track Pack from the factory, because I would have to buy a GT and then pay double to buy the Ford parts and have them installed.
One of our members (who buys and sells cars for a living) pulls up in this bad boy: 2006 Shelby GT-H coupe
It's a US spec car and automatic (which means I could actually drive the car, with the appropriate mods)
He took me for a boot in it (the car is easy as butter for me to get in and out of) and he did multiple smoke shows, hard launches and the car took it all in and was begging for more.
The car seems solid and I have to tell you, being a fan of cars that are "unique" in their own right (look at my daily driver for proof of that) I was instantly drawn to the car.
It's number #251 of 500 total for that model year with around 80,000km on it and I can get it for what I know is a steal of a price for what it is (but definitely not cheap) cleaned up and ready to go.
Aside from the obvious questions (IE: can I afford to insure such an odd car and the financing) would you jump on a car like this? It's not as if it's overly exotic, any Ford dealer could service the thing without a hassle and the parts aren't overly expensive
