Congrats! I was actually at the track (1/4 miles) with a 2010 Coupe yesterday running some pretty good times on drag radials.

Also, there is a good forum for GT500's, http://www.fordgt500.com/ you might want to check out.

The other great site for GT500's and Shelby's in general is http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?

I think the biggest challenge with this car like many others is actually being able to hook up. Drag radials make a huge difference, once I need to replace my street tires I'll be looking to get something more sticky than the Goodyear's that came stock. I like the Michelin Pilots on my Porsche and Viper a ton - might go that way.

510 ft/lbs tq and 540 hp are great, hooking it up makes it amazing.
