They aren't shipping because the dealers are overstocked and don't have any more space in their showrooms for the cars. My dealer has allocations for 3 and the one that he has received is stilling in his showroom with AMD of +25K with no takers!

 

 

Yeah, because one video of a race between two drivers nobody knows is far more telling than a bone stock 1/4 mile time of 12.2x in a fresh GT500....a feat which no Terminator, broken in or otherwise, has ever accomplished in stock trim with any driver behind the wheel. If people don't like the GT500 more power to them, but to just rattle off random banter makes it seem like your posting simply because you like to hear yourself type and not because you actually having anything to say.

 

well yeah... but.... Evan Smith ran the 12.2x on a downhill track. It was in all the papers. Oh, and I saw it on the internet so I don't doubt it!

 

Easy there keyboard muscles...it was a joke!! a-la dancing banana! Get it? Dont get butt hurt about it. Ive owned one '03 10th Anniv., one '04 Cobra Coupe and one '04 Cobra Conv. and they were great cars, but the new one is hands down a better car! A little portly yes, but its worlds ahead in many other aspects. I amazes me how a joking comment on an internet board can get people so fired up over a "car". And for the record, regardless of what is said in that message with the video...that terminator has a pulley...probably 2.93..Ive had several and they dont get that slightly higher pitch without a pulley. No cold air makes it sound like that.

 

Perhaps there is a Shelby that arrived without its engine??!

cgoeschel- dont forget this: on your posts

Don't leave home without it.

 

Guess I better get up to speed on the emoticons!

 

How considerate of Ford. A few hundred GT500s shipped and walla, their finacial woes disappear.

 

yea... a little smiley face can make a big difference in the way your message is read by others.

 

stangsunleashed.com has a post saying that its just a rumor. I called 1-800-fordsvt myself today and they in fact said their was a stop order and to call them on tuesday for more info.

 

http://www.stangsunleashed.com/index..._articleid=144 "There are several rumors on various web sites about Ford issuing a STOP ORDER shipment for the 2007 Shelby Mustang GT500. Despite those rumors, Ford told StangsUnleashed.com today that they have NOT issued a STOP ORDER shipment for the GT500 and that they are shipping to Ford dealers. In August 2006, Ford shipped over 800 Shelby GT500s from their AutoAlliance assembly plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. The August 2006 sales period marked the highest August sales month for the Mustang since 1979"

 

Hmm, so SVT claims there is a stop ship but stangsunleashed.com says there isn't. Oh well, glad I'm waiting for the prices to drop before buying one.

 

Call them back and they'll they say 'What stop ship? your crazy..no idea what you're talking about"

Stall tactic

 

There was a report of 3 black hondas driving under and around the 18 wheelers and jumping on them and taking GT500's . JK

 

I remember the "rumors" of the '99 Cobras coming short on performance. I also remember the "false rumors" of Ford not making the '00 Cobras.

We are guilty of bearing false witness against thy Ford neighbors.

 

Perhaps it is a clutch problem? The post below asks if it could be a clutch problem, then the next guy reaffirms that his buddy has had a new clutch installed with under 300 miles. This comes from the most reliable and accurate site known to man **thick sarcasm**

This might cause my pom poms to droop! Oh No! Somebody removed the pom poms emoticon! That wasn't nice! Definitly NO pom poms for you!

Judy...
For $6-7000 you can buy a brand new set.

 

Does this have anything to do with the cars having a lower HP than advertised
