Ponies on The Run (Again)
Team Mustang Source
Pass on the Shelby GT for 2 reasons.
One, you already mentioned, it's just tacked on, bolt on stuff... big deal. That riveted on hood scoop is .
Two, once you get a car like this (or a GT500, GT-H, etc.), you want to leave it stock (if you're going to keep it for the long haul), or at least I would. Which means, when tempted with all this 'mod talk', you can't do squat.
3.73's, 1-pc D/S... time to fess up Brian. Win a sizable jackpot in Vegas?

Mini-Vegas win... naw. Just been saving my money to get as much done at one time as I can. The 3.73s & D/S are probably more in the future. Right now I'm tapped out on mods after the MGW and stripes. Probably do LCAs first, I think.

btw your window sticker ? mpg my 05 GT was City=20 mpg & Highway 32 mpg.
My 07 GT/CS is City 21 mpg & Highway 33 mpg whats up with all the variances ??
I still have both stickers but I seen my 05 driving around so I'm going to suprise it's new owner one day with the original.

Mine says 17/25 too. What I actually get, who knows.. maybe 12?
Brian, how are the camcovers holding out?

Cam covers look great. Actually if it's possible they look better !! At first the finish looked a little rough or dull. Popped the hood yesterday and they look shiny & smooth, go figure. Of course the spot that I fubared with the torque wrench glares at me and it's probably bad because I know it's there. Double checked for oil leaks and nada. So overall I am very pleased with my 15 dollar solution. I'll take some pics this weekend as I'm probably gonna put the FRPP rear shocks on and paint the calipers, so I'll already have the camera for that stuff.

See for me I like the Shelbys for a couple reasons. The look, I think they nailed it, CS front, no rear spoiler... except for the hood scoop. Although it does look right on that car. The FRPP parts. yeah you could buy 'em yourself and except a blower it's just about everything I want to do to my car. The ADM's a huge . Now that the '08 is a VB w/silver stripes
BTW Bill, I like the Roush rear spoiler. I would do one except around here it really common. Except for the blocks in the back, which I don't mind, to me it looks like an updated duck tail and that fits the car cause it looks like an updated 68.
I jes loves to hear da pipes roar!
The biggest thing I notice is the power at part throttle. I don't have to push it as hard to get more power. Push it more and it really goes!
If I painted mine, I'd choose red too. Yellow reminds me of Porsche calipers.

Did you see this link as it has some good side and rear close up pics
Roush spoiler
Well, I went to the dealer with the GT upfitter codes and sure enough... They were Shelby GTs, one black and one white. The black one was inside the shop so I didn't get to see it. It has the black FRP rims which I dislike. I like the 17 inch rims better. The white looked pretty nice but with a $1000 ADM and a $41,000 overall price they can keep it.
I should have asked for a test drive... I would like to see how stiff the suspension is.

So I'm driving to the store this afternoon and what do I pull up to at the red light................... yep an Alloy Metallic Roush GT. Very nice. We exchanged pleasantries and then we both lit up the rear ends and were off in a blazing glory. Nice....................
I liked the looks of the rear spoiler very much, that might be a direction I take when $ begin to flow again at my house.

Actually, those are Ford fanblades off the 08 stangs. I just think the regular fanblades are boring.
I have never been a real fan of the black rims out there but I recently saw a set of these on a black S197 GT and I thought they looked great.
These look good but I don't like the FRRP. I also like these if I want to stick to 17s.
The funky center caps will have to go though. Kinda funny but now that I got some go with the Bama Tunes I am leaning to getting some show.

I was just curious about the Roush spoilers... certainly not committing to anything. About the only thing I don't like is having to drill holes into the rear quarters! However, I read that they pick up the factory spoiler decklid holes.
