I foresee an awkward scenario coming up for the KR. Those of us at the front of the line for an '08 may hold out for the KR only to discover that our dealership is not one of the lucky few to access one of these cars. That could mean losing a spot in line for the standard GT500 and coming up empty handed. Hmm...as they say "a bird in hand." I hope this scenario will soon be clarified. |

I read elsewhere in the forums that the ordering banks open April 16th for the 2008 Mustang. I went in to my dealership yesterday and the sales manager attempted to access information to confirm this date and was unsuccessful. Can anyone shed light on this? Thanks.

There's plenty of excitement over the appearance of the new engine hood for the 2008 GT500KR. Yeah, it looks cool. But keep in mind it's going to ride higher than the standard hood. It reminds me very much of the hood on the 68 GT500 I once owned. Behind the wheel, it's very noticeable - almost obstructs the forward vision to a small degree. Once one gets used to it, not a problem. But it does take some getting used to (as I remember).

Replying to: rheller (Apr 13, 2007 7:03 pm) I tried to do my oil change today in my garage with my floor jack. I lifted it up until the tire lifted off the floor and couldn't get under the car enough to even find the oil filter. There's quite a few plates and shields under the front of that car. Called my buddy and we will do it next Saturday in his garage. He has two lifts and after todays attempt I have found you need a lift to do it safely and correctly. I'm thinking of adding some Lemans stripes to my new torch red Ranger. Not too sure what color to go with. Rocker panels on my truck are gray and want to go with rocker panel decals to match Shelby. RANGER FX4X4

Replying to: bri66 (Apr 13, 2007 9:50 pm) Another concern is price. Keep it under 20g and I can rationalize it. Otherwise, the option seems too much for my pocketbook. After all, can I really appreciate the added 40 HP? The hood and extra badges are certainly nice, but I'm not buying the car for show or as an investment. Lots to think about. Yeah, I agree...the black with red stripes looks hot. |

...........of putting a shine on my Shelby. This is all new to me, but I have read hours over the winter to prepare. I clay barred and began the paint cleaner process yesterday. I was surprised at all the junk that was lifted off a spotless car with the clay. I decided after several hours of research to go with the Meguiars NXT over Zaino. Two reasons I didn't go with Zaino was it's only available on line thru them (price control), and although it has a great reputation I think Meguiars offers just as nice an end result at almost half the cost. I intend on spending the entire day in my garage and I will post photo's on my car space album when I'm finished.
