Basically the car is a standard GT with the Saleen Supercharger installed by Saleen and then shipped to the dealer. What's great about this is it's supposed to have a full factory warranty...
Got my black CDC grille installed today. I think the car looks more agressive now. I need to paint the supporting structure behind the grille black so it all blends but for now it will do. One small problem with the install is they tell you to reuse the factory fastners from the upper radiator...
Just started modding my new 07 GT. The wheels are Wedsport TC005's, 18X9 in front and 18X10 in the rear. Wheels are very light weight, only 19 lbs a piece. Got them fromt TireRack.
Tires are BFG KDW 2's, 255/40/18 in front and 295/35/18 in the rear. The car is lowered on Eibach Pro Kit...

Price is a little steep but this rear suspension on a GT500 ought to be sick!!!
Well guys I gave up on my hunt for a GT500 at MSRP. Got tired of all the crap and stupid mark ups on this car. Instead I bought a 07 Mustang GT for $1000 under invoice, just couldn't pass up the deal. It will be in some time next week, just in time for Christmas. :banana:
Here are the specs...

Shelby GT-H Convertible concept, and they said they wouldn't make one!!!
:bs: I know it's only a concept but it could easily become a reality in the form of a convertible Shelby GT. :pepper:
Leftlane News has a little blurb on some of the details for the 09 Mustang. The GT500 will get a modest 15hp increase over the current 500 hp. More importantly though is the mention that there will be an 09 GT500. :banana:
Here's the link to the article...
First GT500's Produced
Nice to see some finally rolling off the line. Can't wait till one shows up at my local dealer so I can go check it out in person. :banana:
From Left Lane News:
When asked if a 600+ hp model will be offered, he said, "never say never to anything." In an interview with Mr. Shelby himself, Edmunds managed to get further details. Shelby said GM "better not dream" of having more horsepower than the Mustang with the new Camaro. Recent...
So who here is going to order one or both of the performance packs for their GT500 when they order it??? Ford is supposed to offer them just like the ones you can get for the regular GT, a handling pack, power pack and drag pack. The handling pack will be a great way to get rid of the "ass in...

Fake Shelby Kit
Ok, this kind of crap pisses me off. I know there is probably nothing that can be done, but come on, this is supposed to be a "special" car. One that dealers are screwing their customers over because it is so "special". :rollseyes You would think that Ford/Shelby would...
Linky
In a nutshell, they loved the handling but weren't that impressed with the power. They thought the weight coupled with the torque management was holding it back. A simple tune should take care of the torque management and unlock the true potential of the car. They also said the car...

Stats are better than C&D's, they must have had an anvil tied to the car or some thing. :poke:
I'm still waiting for my MT, once it comes in I'll scan the stats and post them.

Just got my new Motortrend today and in it they have an article which compares the new Camaro vs the Mustang. What was cool is that they have simulated the performance of the new Boss and GT500 Stangs. Here the results, don't have a scanner so you will have to settle for me quoting them.

I like this line, But sources say it will find it's way into other platforms. Here's to hoping............... :beer:
2006 Steeda Q 525
Steeda builds a kick a.... Mustang!!! :beer: It has a 5.0L stroker motor with forged internals and produces 500 hp and 530 ft lbs of torque. I'll take mine in Tungsten minus the big dorky wing on the back. :-D Depending on price of course. :rollseyes
Ok, I know the headline is wrong but I took it right from Whipple's web site. Any way, appears they didn't waste any time making a blower upgrade kit for the GT500. :banana: :banana: :banana:

Shelby CS6 Info
Found this on the Shelby forums. Shelby will also offer the CS6 package on GT Mustangs in addition to the V6. Won't be as fast but it will be interesting to see how it prices out. There is also speculation on how this will effect the GT500 in terms of it's value. Could be a...
