Good lookin out Term. Now this is the car for all you "collectors" out there.
The sketch looks cool but the rims are wack IMHO, they could've made a better choice. Gimmie the new hood and I'll handle it from there. Spring 08'? Many people's street driven GT500's will be runnin around with 550-600+RWHP by then :rockon:

 

[svtsmo]

wow, i like that hood

 

[dgussin1]

Looks great!

HOLY!!!!!!!!!!*mouth watering*

Badass ride!

Can anyone guess what the ADMs are gonna be on this one?:xpl:

So basically it's a GT500 with wheels, hood, cold air and a tune? Why not just order the parts and DIY?

 

[dcdoug]

Rims are really ugly and i don't like them in 20" either. Hood's nice though.

 

[TORQUERULES]

I know that the ADMs will be outrageous for this thing, but mabe it will cause ADMs for the regular GT500 go down?

 

[chuckstang]

ASPerformance will be on in moments I am sure to say, hell no, ADMs are here to stay and I love paying more for a car!

 

[Wishing4Cobra]

Damn thats a pretty sick car, cant wait to see it on the streets or dealership showrooms.

It looks like that's the new Vapor color, and it looks a hell of a lot better than Tungsten.

 

[Randy Fontenot]

"Ford SVT, Ford Racing and Team Shelby worked together to develop the KR’s suspension tuning. Based on initial work by Ford Racing and the team at Shelby, often at Shelby’s own facility on the grounds of Las Vegas Motor Speedway" I'd say there are alot more differences between the 500 and the KR than you think.

no, just badges, FRPP cai and suspension and probably axle-back with a tune, some gay badges, a stupid looking hood, and thats about it.

 

[chuckstang]

The good thing is, that anyone witha a GT500 can probably order this stuff through Ford Racing and have installed on their 07 or 08 GT500.
I will want the suspension stuff, exhaust, shifter, and brake cooling ducts

Close to 100K. I'd venture a few GT500 owners will trade for a GT500KR, imagine the bath they will take
