So are you debating the "Sleeper" look??
Looks a bit bland with out the side and top stripes..
Couldn't find white, but I found silver...

Shelbys and Cobras, unlike regular Mustang V6s and GTs, also come with an independent rear suspension (IRS), which also helps the handling to some degree, but the live axle on the Mustang GT is more resistant to stress and damage from burnouts. Ford figures, with some justification, that Shelby owners, having paid considerably more for their cars than for the average Mustang GT, are going to be less likely to tear them up on Friday/Saturday nights doing burnouts and juvenile stuff, and want something a little more sophisticated underneath.

Congrats! It's definitely a beast. The light blue one is awesome. Don't mean to be negative, but my only problem with the Cobra is having to pay so much $$$ for a car with Ford's crappy build quality. I was admiring one the other day in person, and I could not believe how bad the fenders were mismatched and misaligned. You can even see it in the 1st pic of the silver one above. The hood, fenders, and grille doesn't even line up. It makes the car look very cheap and poorly made. 
I suppose that it'd be ok for a 20k V6 model, but def. not on a 50k Cobra.
I remember reading that Ford has made big strides with their quality, so what's going on? I suggest that you check everything upon delivery and make sure to point out any problems before you take it home. Good luck!
