Hello,

Sorry about late reply. I liked Mustangs and Shelbys for a long time and I was looking for a good deal, all-black, supercharged, no older than 2011. In the end, I won it on ebay I did not care about the mileage because I know Mustang/Shelby owners and the car is truly bulletproof. I love everything about it - the short-throw stick, wild acceleration and firm handling and it is very comfortable to drive (it is firm but comfortable). I had some back pain in December and it all went away when GT500 arrived It can be upgraded to a "Supersnake" which is an over-the-top wild ride. but even "only" supercharged, GT500 is a true fun times car, from the moment you start the ignition and hear that growl.

I have a 2010 Roush Stage 3 Tripple Black, They only made 103 of them. It has 8000 miles. Fully hand built Roush Racing Aluminator under the hood. 265# lighter than a gt500 with most of that weight off the front of the car.

PM me if you are serious about a serious car.

Thanks for the offer but I don't want to import anything from the states right now because our dollar is crap. It will cost me around 30% more when its all said and done to bring the car over to Canada. Not worth it in my opinion.

If you can find one an E55 AMG V8 Kompressor Wagon would be a fairly beastly family friendly car with room to tune

The new owner picked up the car yesterday. Sad to see it go but its in good hands. I won't be frequenting this forum that much anymore now that the car is gone. Its been a blast talking to you guys and enjoy your cars.
