Hmm I am still skeptical but I am watching closely

Noway..

Noway..

Way..

Yeah...I highly doubt this. I thought the Shelby contract with Ford was up...2014 was the last year of production. Now Ford is suppose to make the GT350...so I am a little confused as to why they would report a 2016 Shelby GT500.

I thought the GT500 was coming to an end, only to be replaced by the GT350?? I guess thats rumors for ya.

I would hope they stopped with the Shelby already and bring back the SVT Cobra...IRS, 662hp, better brakes and you got yourself a customer.

They really need better brakes though, the current ones fade FAST after repeated punishment.

You know this how? I believe Van put in different brake fluid and flogged it with no fade at Homestead I believe.

I had a 07 and consistently had fade after heavy breaking...I would feel the pedal get soft after repeated hard breaking and just had to push harder. I'm not professional though. Just what I felt could be improved.

I never tried changing the fluid, might have helped.

I find it demeaning to refer to the flagship as the GT350. I can't see Ford doing that.

 

[Tezz500]

whatever it is… it won't be a Shelby…

Van was driving his new 13 with the new brake fluid. The stock fluid would get hot and brakes would fade on the 13.

The new SVT needs big boy brakes this time around. I want to see 6 and 4 piston Brembo calipers F&R, and 2 piece Brembo rotors.

I find hilarious when people assume things they read in a magazine, every manual tells you to switch the brake fluid to a higher temp when tracking the car. I tracked mine at homestead with just a fluid change and the car was just fine.


The contract for the shelby name is good thru 2016 FYI

 

[hockeylover86]

If they do bring back an updated Trinity with a 6 speed auto, its game over for everybody else...

 

[kirks5oh]

The brakes are better on my ctsv. True story.

I always find it funny that people who have never driven a 13-14 gt500 are so called experts on all aspects of the car.

Other visible bits include high-backed racing-style seats with fixed head restraints, a cue-ball shift knob for the standard manual transmission, and a no-frills audio system.

that doesnt sound like a gt500 to me. sounds more like a boss/svo/bullitt. or maybe I'm just hoping again.

I think Devious is selling his 10k mile '13 GT500, that he got new. :shrug:

Weight reduction, better tires and an auto = domination.
I'm a manual fan myself, but after seeing countless threads on the 5.0s and their strong autos, I would get an auto, IF I was into drag racing.

Seats look just like the previous style recaros. dont seem too "racey"
