An introduction...
Hi everyone. Not much time to visit this forum and others as I would like.
Anyway, purchased a 2009 Imola Red/Cream (sport seats), auto still under CPO and maintenance until mid-Oct. Believe I got a good deal overall. There are some aesthetic tics that I need to resolve liked a cracked/dried window trim gasket. She has 54K on the odometer. No visible wear on the seating. After giving up my 2009 Shelby GT500KR for this I was wondering if I was losing my mind. But, I'm pleasantly surprised. I'll send pics when my wife lets me have my car back... Talk to you again. B. |

With engine and fluids warm, I pressed the Sport button, Held down the DTC button until I got one large and one small circle indicating ALL nanny controls were turned off, then flipped the lever to the left. A/C was off. Took off from a light and $hit! Made some noise with brand new Michelin SS tires. Realized the performance can be enhanced by managing your own shift points instead of depending on the ECU. Rev's too high and takes too long for tranny to shift. I like it Pic of 09 Imola/Cream Auto. The other two were two Shelby's I owned. The red one was pushing 640 HP at the flywheel. The black KR was stock except for Torsen T2R LSD and Al driveshaft. Both were fun. |
