Not sure it's like waiting to date a chick, but it sure sounds like a car worth waiting for.

Come on. A Shelby without stripes is like Hulk Hogan without his belt.

Congrats on your choice... or should I wait to congratulate you when you purchase it. There has always been a spot in my heart for Mustangs/Cobras. I used to own a 01' Cobra (moderately modded) and I loved it! I just wished it was a bit lighter.

Good color choice, the sterling grey metallic w/ stripe looks great, the stripe doesnt stand out as much as the white.

If you want a sick sleeper look, go for the Sterling Grey Metallic w/ satin black stripes.

The car’s aluminum power dome hood not only adds to the Shelby’s appearance, it helps cool the engine through a hood extractor.

The Shelby’s open-element air induction system features a conical air filter instead of a flat-panel closed system to reduce air restriction. This approach allows more air to be pumped through the engine, producing more power and increasing the engine’s efficiency.

A cold-air intake feeds the coolest air possible directly into the air box, helping further increase horsepower. The intake necessitated moving the Cobra snake badge to the other side of the grille to enable maximum airflow.
Helps cool things off in here:
