FINALLY! The GT500 is here - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

H-TownMachI · 09-10-2010, 05:36 PM

After waiting 3 long months since I ordered the car, I got to pick it up today. It was a bitter sweet moment. Sweet that I now have a GT500

Bitter in that this car is dam expensive.

It will go nicely next to the Mach1 in my garage.

Shane@TM · 09-10-2010, 05:37 PM

**** you think they would fill it up for you at least!

They did. I drove it to the gas station with the salesman. He put in a little less than 14 gallons.

Congratulations man, let us know your comparison between the mach 1.

Con's Mach1 · 09-10-2010, 06:44 PM

Boy, do I ENVY you. Not only a new COBRA, but keeping the Mach1. Now, that's a dream I'd like to wake up to.

Madmax305 · 09-10-2010, 07:04 PM

Congrats on the new Shelby GT500, very nice car indeed...

JaybTorchedMach · 09-10-2010, 09:02 PM

2.2 mpg?!?!

04dsgMACHONE · 09-10-2010, 09:25 PM

Absolutely gorgeous! Only thing I would change is it being a vert.

Mikestang · 09-10-2010, 09:28 PM

I am not sure if this is true but I was told by the dealer when I picked up my car that the GT500 has some kind of sensor that burns out when the car has about 60 miles on it. then the blower kicks in and all hell brakes loose...

Not 100% sure about this tho

Azure Blurr · 09-10-2010, 09:29 PM

That is a sharp car! I love the color combo!

muzman · 09-10-2010, 09:33 PM

Congratulations I also would like to keep the mach and get a GT500 one day, waiting on 2014. Enjoy.

4V FURY · 09-10-2010, 10:07 PM

SWEET ! Exactly the color i would order and delete the stripes also.

Congrats :ORANGE:

Fenixfire · 09-10-2010, 10:13 PM

Sharp car........avg 2.2 mpg

H-TownMachI · 09-10-2010, 10:50 PM

When I saw that 2.2 MPG I had to take a pic. It was at 18.5 when I got home.

The car does come with the supercharger disabled. It takes 5 continuous miles or 50 starts to enable it. When I was coming back from the gas station I floored it in second. It was a dog.

The convertible was a no brainer. It is my third that I have owned. We have great convertible weather down here from October to May.

Thanks everybody. I plan to have some fun in this car.

I trust you put 5 continuous miles on it quickly?

jlstang351 · 09-10-2010, 11:04 PM

How do you disable a supercharger when its belt driven

My mom has a 09 Shelby vert and i sure do love driving that car!

jbrad88 · 09-11-2010, 07:48 AM

If I say that I hate you can we still be friends?

Okay, I'm a little jealous...maybe...just a little...

Congrats on the purchase...

Mach1 EH · 09-11-2010, 07:58 AM

bleedingfordblu · 09-11-2010, 01:42 PM

oooooh so nice, i want one

White04Mach · 09-11-2010, 03:59 PM

The one we had at the dealership we reflashed the ECM to enable the blower. Ford told us that it restricts the throttle position to 20ish percent for 50 miles even if you have it wide open. The owner said he couldn't wait the the 50 miles for the ECM to reset itself. lol

Love the no stripes :ORANGE:

H-TownMachI · 09-11-2010, 04:53 PM

Just got back from a run to Galveston. The car is pretty lively now

I can't wait for Fall to get here 'cause it's hot as hell down here today. I drove around for about an hour with the top down and got sunburned.

The reason I went stripeless is because the only availabe stripes for my car with the SVTPP was RED. I don't want no ugly azz narrow red stripes on my car or the seats. Now if they had black or silver available with the SVTPP it would have stripes on it.

lxh89 · 09-11-2010, 05:50 PM

Nice car!

blown03Mach1 · 09-11-2010, 06:22 PM

I can honestly say that is one car that I would have zero problems with getting rid of the Mach towards, but I cannot stomach what my car payment would be.

Very nice and I am envious!

Enjoy, safe driving, and let the mods begin!
