Time to say bye!
After almost 3 years of ownership it is time for my Zed and I to part ways.
I enoyed it so much and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
It is a sad moment, but at the same time, I'm really excited on getting my hands on its successor. Estimated delivery date is about 4 to 5 weeks (I'm importing it, since it is not sold by Ford in Chile).
It will be a completely different kind of beast that I'm sure will bring me lots of smiles, but the Zed will never be forgotten!

Chris the price of fuel in Chile is dirt cheap, about 67p a litre for super unleaded!Chris_D wrote:Outrageous! You'll be back in a zed, I guarantee it. When you realise how those things like a drink or two, you'll be back!

Thanks man! Unfortunately I'm not selling any parts. Everything is going to the new owner.Smartbear wrote:Things change luix, your new car looks a beast! Let us know how you get on with it

lol! I get what you say. Fuel economy is jumping out of the window, but since I will be saving on insurance (in Chile it is actually more expensive to ensure the Zed than a Shelby, just because one is a Ford and the other one a BMW... go figure) I'll have some spare cash to burn extra fuel!Chris_D wrote:Outrageous!

Chi-Chi-Chi-Le-Le-Le! Viva Chile! I've been living in Santiago for over 7 years now, although I'm originally from Mexico City. I gotta admit that Chile is a lovely place and a great place to live, and after living more than half of my adult life here, you could say I'm one more Chileanbmwaddict wrote:Greetings fellow Chilean!

Send me a PM and we can keep in touch when you come over. I won't have the Zed, but we can make the Shelby roar a little bit!
And yes... fuel here is at a very good price. 93 octane gas is about a USD per liter, and it is actually the cheapest you can find (we have 95 and 97).
Interesting change indeed! As a car enthusiast I want to live as many driving experiences as I can, no matter how different. Actually, the big difference between these two cars is a plus for me!paulgs1000 wrote:Interesting change - all the best with your new Ford

I'm happy with the M, but my next car will be a V8 of some sort. I enjoyed the V6 Mustang, the V8 should be special, manual I presume?luix_luix wrote: This is gonna be my first V8

Manual of course! Even if I wanted, the Shelby version is not available with an automatic transmission (at least up to now, there are rumours that for 2018 Ford could be adding an optional 7 speed DCT).Fishy Dave wrote: I'm happy with the M, but my next car will be a V8 of some sort.

The shift pads on the Zed were awesome, but nothing like the old-school feeling of a clutch and stick (even when it is slower than current automatic transmissions).

Oh! You are SO right! That's actually why the Mazda MX5 is considered such an excellent roadster!Smartbear wrote: That's the "thing" it's not about the speed per se, it's the involvement

In my case: Manual Transmission + 5.2L V8 Engine + 8200 rpm red line = lots of involvement! hehehe

Should be a great driving experience with that combination! Manual all the way for me, despite modern autos being quicker, it's just not the same.
Enjoy your new car, and hopefully next time I come over we can meet up for a little drive!
