When did the rivets attach it to the hood? The Shelby's I've seen had the same 7 (I think) bolts holding the hood on as the GT AP, and just tape for the rest of it.

 

SAI just started doing it on cars currently at their facility.

Here's a picture of one with the rivets attached to the hood.

 

Mark, what I also heard, is that Shelby can't do a whole year of SGT's since it is not committed to doing Super Snake conversions, They are still doing Anniversary conversions for '07s, and from some internal info, they don't want the Bullitt out at the same time, and take some thunder away. Just what I heard.

 

You can't compare the Bullitt and the SGT. The Bullitt at less than $2K more optioned is nothing more than paint and some bling. No engine or suspension changes. VERY VERY disappointing.

 

Well riveting the scoop to the hood should take care on the warping issues. IMO since they choose to go with that style scoop it makes sense to rivet it down.

 

Hey 05Fordgt
1) I didn't think the Bullitt was a go though, I have not read every scrap of info out there.
2) Which one will be more popular, SGT of Bullitt in your opinion.

I mean, the SGT MSRP at 37-40 is very close to GT500 MSRP @ 43 (prices are falling here too as many second hand units are on the market now)

What's good about the Bullitt @ what MSRP?

 

man i cant stand those fake scoops, and then they rivet them on? i think they look horrible slapped on that way. put a real scoop on shelby!!!!

 

I plan on using a trufiber hood with built in functional ram air scoop. I bought it for my original 08 Mustang GT order, so I might as well use it.

Maybe I'll use the SGT hood as a nice wall ornament

 

so tell me why is it we "the consumer" had to be the people that found all the short cuts (read mistakes) that were blazingly obvious? Why weren't these found/fixed before these cars left the factory?

 

Well said Doug.

 

Thanks

and incase anyone was wondering I was going off the fact that the rivets are now at least real..even if the scoop isn't

 

Ford and Shelby Autos have worked the PR machine to perfection. Shelby can take a dump and gets a standing ovation for the effort. What's amazing is that the vid has yet to find its way to YouTube.

 

Looks like there will be 219 Grabber Orange SGTs built. They will build these 1st; and then they will start building the Blue cars.

UPDATE: 001-0217 were Grabber Orange. 0218-~2200 were Vista Blue

 

Mark, sorry your have to deal with this delay, I know what that's like.

 

I guess yours will take a while.

 

Maybe it will be 220

Since I'm in the Middle East right now, I really don't care as long as it's ready when I get back.

 

1. The Bullitt has been a go for several months now. The only thing we are waiting for are pictures of the real car (L.A Auto Show from what I have heard).
2. I think the Bullitt will be popular for the look alone. I for one would have one of these as I LOVE Highland Green, and the look will be cool (once we finally see the finished product).
3. The Bullitt package will be the same as the GT/CS package. Same price.

 

I'm hoping for something at SEMA this year!!!

 

Is it going to take the place of the GT/CS? If so awesome. My GT/CS was produced yesterday. Getting close!!!

 

Couple of Grabber Orange pix at SAI on 5 Sept. Got them from stangsunleashed via Shelby autos site.
