Default saw my first 07 GT500/Cobra on the street

Was on Chapman near Down Town Orange on sunday...

Black with silver stripes.. guy looked to be 50+.. we were in our Tahoe at the stop light..he drove it pretty smooth.. no peel outs or quick take offs.. followed him for about 2 miles when I had to turn... sounds awesome.. I tried to hear the S/C but i couldnt..

so Orange people.. be on the look out.. there is at least 1 prowling around.

BTW - I almost got a GT500...white with Blue stripes...but teh sales mgr was s dick.....he wouldn't go below 65K. I told him, I wouldnt' go above 60, cause 18K mark up was plenty. He said, 'let me run the numebrs on your credit before we talk final figures'. I said..ok....he came back with a crazy payment..........he gave me his selling BS, adn was ready to sign papers. I looked up and said...wait a minute......what price was that all at (not even touching the terms).........he said.....$65k.....I laughed at walked away.

I agree, the manufacturer calls it a GT500, so it's a GT500.

Ford got confused on the identity of the vehicle. I would have called it a Cobra, especially after dressing it up with those emblems.

Anybody run one yet?

IMO, they did the right thing. The confusion is, SVT did the work, and in concept they weren't sure if it was the new SVT Cobra, or if Shelby would be 'involved'. So the 'ealry looks' were calling it, the New SVT Cobra. Prototypes weren't 'Shelby's'.


Also, all the symbols used on teh GT500, were used on teh original GT500s. The originals did have the 'snake' on it.
