I'm at 1800 miles. No ignition key or radio problems at all. The clutch chatter disappeared at about the milage you have on yours now. I thought I was just getting used to it so I had my wife drive it and she gets no chatter either.
No problems so far and I'm a happy camper!

Saw the real thing for the first time, at the San Francisco auto show. They had it up on a rotating pedestal, no one allowed to touch or sit in it.

The thing is, it doesnt matter if you think the Shelby is overpriced or not. The bottom line is we are sold 1 year in advance at 15k over. We would have already sold out entirely if we didnt stop taking money on them. We think the market price for them will actually go up from where it is as the end of the run nears. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If you want a Vette, go to any Chevy store on Earth. They'll have one in any color you like, ready to go. If you want a Shelby, be prepaired to make a $5000 non-refundable deposit and wait a year until your car gets here, at which time the remaining $55k (+ tax tag title) will be due. Wait a minute.....you cant even do that now. As for ordering Mustang GTs, whats the big deal? I sell them at or near invoice all the time.

Whats not right about the premiums?...its the result of a free market for crying out loud. The truth is, if no dealer was allowed to charge a premium, every one of those cars would be bought by dealership employees, then sold at a premium on the open market for a profit. Trust me, I tried to do it. The point is, the price is not determined by the manufacturer, the dealer, Edmunds, or the individual customer. It is worth what people will pay on the open market. I consider anyone who dissagrees a socialist. God bless America.

I recently went to the kelly bb web site and was delighted to see that they list the true value of a coupe at $62,000. I stopped at a local dealership today to price a air filter box for my Shelby and saw they had a line of Roush 427 GT Mustang's. The sticker prices were slightly higher than the premium I paid for my GT500. If I did not get my Shelby because of the premium I would have probably bought one of these this morning. Very nice looking 4.6 V8 GT putting out 427 horses. Might be an option for those that wanted a high performance Mustang and don't mind it not being a Shelby. Has anyone changed their Shelby's air intake to the cold air kit? If so does anyone care to sell their stock plastic air filter box?

Has anyone bought a die-cast 07 GT500? I just received mine today and was amazed as to how close in detail it is. Anyone looking for one to buy, check out the Hot Wheels version. Happy New Year.

Yes, I have several in each color. I got the ones by Carroll Shelby and the Hotwheels Elite. Auto Art has some out and Hotwheels has some out you can buy for about $22.
The Auto Art runs about $70 and the Carroll Shelby editions run about $32.
Also check out the Eleanor by Carroll Shelby. Very nice!
The one flaw I did notice is that all of the Carroll Shelby models have the red inserts in the seats even on the colors that the red inserts are not available on. Some of the colors only come in the dark charcoal.
