My new toy!

I just traded my 2010 C6 1LT Vette in on a 2011 GT500 Convertible. I could not be happier!! Car is 1 year old with only 302 miles on it when I picked it up!

ummm..... no it doesn't, the Shelby has a 5.4L (331cid) motor, not a 302


Nice pick up Bonefish... what's the first mod?

Thanks!

Not sure....the car so awesome by itself that I don't really know what to do! That's the first time I've ever been stumped! LOL!

Actually I'm going to do just a few cosmetic mods only for now. PPF, tint, hood shocks, and blendmount for radar detector.

I'm tossing around the idea of the SVTPP from LMR to lower it a bit...but, honestly that's all for now.

Maybe in a year wheels. I pretty much love the car the way it is! I mean 550HP out of the box for me to drive on the street....I'm not sure I need more. That will get me in enough trouble. LOL!

Congrats! I just love the GT500's exhaust note, it sounds wicked without any mods!

Very nice. I test drove a 2011 GT500 coupe a few weeks ago and now have 2 deposits on 2013 GT500 due shortly. I like your color combo as it's one of 3 I'm considering. Use/enjoy in good health!
