Another Shelby from Overseas

Hi guys

I am lurking in this forum since almost two years. Since then I was waiting for my baby. After some problems (a dealer who cheated me and some law problems) I got my car this July.

My name is Thomas and I am from Switzerland. Before my decision to change to a Muscle car I was driving a Toyota Supra TwinTurbo. Also a very, veeeeeeery nice car

After some mods, he is now ready to have his entrance in this Forum.


So have fun and sorry for any mistakes in my writing

Very nice top-side! Why is there so much rust under the car already?

Thanks for sharing and welcome!

Enjoy!

It's really different. The twin turbo gives you a bigger (much bigger :-)) "bang" then the Shelby. The Shelby runs smoother and more continously (I don't mean slower...). In curves of course the Supra was much better. But I have much, much more "headturns" and other people who can't close their mouth when I am driving around

Your English is actually very good, and no apologies are necessary. As for this part of your statement....The Shelby runs smoother and more continously...I believe that the term you were looking for to describe the GT500's power delivery here is linear. Enjoy the Shelby!

Yes, next mod are other wheels.
Then probably some new Hi-Fi equipment because our radio stations here have even radio frequency (frequencies?) as well.
And last but not least there is some engine work to do.
And probably one or two things more
