We have succeeded in building this potential into your new Shelby, but to what degree it’s utilized will depend largely on you as the owner and driver. Even the most skilled drivers, the real pros, always take time to completely familiarize themselves with a new piece of equipment. They also know the importance of proper maintenance, based on the intended use of their vehicle. Take a tip from them and do the same. A little time spent here will pay off later in added miles of trouble free operation, overall performance and great driving pleasure.
