See guys if you bitch and complain like me...look what you get!!!
epper: This car looks to be similar in performance to the saleen s281 and s281 supercharged but at a lower price!!!! If they do offer a na shelby gt and a blown shelby gt (hoping for a paxton blower just like the good ol days)
Now that is awsome!

Wow this reminds me of back in the 60's when ford built the boss mustang as their answer to the shelby's. Another words the boss was truly ford while the shelby was tuned outside of ford but just happened to use a ford mustang and ford parts. the gt500 is an svt cobra and I think shelby is itching to build something truly his own that will be even faster!!!!!
competition from within :rockon:
I know what Im saying is hard to follow because the gt500 is a shelby but as you know it was built at fords own production line and not sent to vegas for shelby to assemle them, same way that saleen does it.
Also I have never understood why so many hate saleens when if you think about it, he is the modern day carrol shelby when it comes to tuner mustangs with a warranty.

Nope!!! That's the beauty with this car, if you added the drag pack, handling pack and blower to a base GT your dealer would void your warrenty so fast it would make your head spin. :lol1:

You can have your choice of two superchargers, the FRPP/Whipple or the Shelby Paxton unit similar to the one on the CS6 just made for the V8. :beer:

From THE MUSTANG SOURCE:
Lol, sorry, I am infavor of the 2 color option as well. Here are my reasons, not in order of importance.
- I think it will ad value to the cars
- I think it will be more distinct and easier to spot as "real"
- It will be easier and help us make more if I only paint 2 colors and the scoop is gel coated.
- Shelby's have always been limited to a few colors.
- I can't use blue and white as I have other plans for it

In the new Motor Trend it states that they called it the shelby GT because Ford is reserving the GT350 name for future use. While still collaborating with Ford, it seems very reasonable that a GT350 is in the near future. Also the Motor Trend says the Boss is Highly expected to be the next release from Ford. With a N/A 390hp 5.0 cammer, GT500 suspension, etc.
So, it looks as if history is repeating itself all over again while I sit here and salivate at the mouth!!
Keep us on the forefront of any info AMY! I am looking to be into another mustang with a years time.

the blower is nice, but i would rather have a high flow high performance n/a engine. :idea:
something very much like the shm package that takes the 4.6l 3 valve and pumps it up to 380hp 400tq at the crank. add this engine to the shelby gt package and you have something that will compete with the new 6.1 challenger in 08.
maybe shelby is saving this for the gt350?:rockon:

FYI...67 was the last true Shelby built/modified mustangs, 68-70 we're built by Ford. Also 70 MY are left over 69's.:beer:
chuckstang said:Oh ya cause 1000 is the same as 400
the old farts ford is marketing these cars to do not care about hp
I for one could care less about how many g's it pulls on the skid pad
there is a corvette for that and the ford gt if your a blue oval fan
Chuck, wow, that's quite a statement, so you think old doesn't equate to HP?? I know many a man over 50 that would dispute that statement. lol
This car is not supposed to be a HP monster, it's supposed to be well balanced, fun to drive, nice sounding, you would be surprised how many people want that. There will be other Shelby's that have a lot of HP.
Listen, I love HP as much as the next person, there are times I take out the 454 71 chevelle SS like when I raced in the Bullrun and got 3 tickets and drove from LA to Las Vegas in 2 hours and 23 minutes. Then there are times I want to drive, have fun, and feel a well balanced car. This shelby Gt is that car.
Not every car is for everybody. Maybe your just too young to see that

Amy,

Amy,
still no word on order codes for the new 07 shelby gt? i would presume that if they will be showing up in jan 07 these codes would have to be out by oct.
i am still deciding if i want my black/silver shelby gt to be only a deluxe mustang gt with shaker 500 and anti-theft or to add the red leather interior?
will i even have this choice?
should we wait for the gt350(will it be n/a), or build up the shelby gt engine with racing cam and high flow heads? the blower is a great idea but its not for me.:burnout:

IMHO it was PLENTY soft! ;-)
Hey Amy, not to derail this conversation which seems to be going so well.. but I was wondering sicne we are talking about future Shelby products if Shelby will be Modifying any of the new GT-500s that are being produced or any future models?
If so what if anything can you tell us about plans for that car?
