Man I love that exhaust note!!!!!

 

Good video. Thanks for posting.

 

welcome!

 

That exhaust sounds sick!!! Saves me from having to buy a cat back system.

On a side note, people have been complaining that this car only makes 325 hp but that's with the conservative canned Ford tune. Take it to an experienced tuner and have it tuned on a dyno and there's prob more left in her. I'm now realizing that the GT500 is out of my price range so this may be my car. Just need to see the real deal once it's released.

 

Nice video! But....why must nearly every performance car video have to show vehicles drifting!!!! I guess i will never understand the attraction to drifting-too old I guess.

On another note, love the lettering on the decklid!

 

Thanks for the link.

The more I see of it, the more I like it.
Just wish there were a few more color selections.
(Shelby wheels would be another nice option.)

 

Probably the drifters will never understand the attraction to drag racing (mash the right pedal to go down a straight line for a few seconds???)

I like road racing, especially on real roads (Le Mans, Nurburgring, even Watkins Glen and other road coarse type tracks) the best cause that most realistically models what we'll really face in the real world and challenges all aspects of a car's performance envelope.

Now the Cannonball Rally of old, now THERE was a race!

PS. I really like the Shelby lettering too, much better done than on the GT500 (though they do need to lose the redundant "GT" lettering on the front fenders).

 

Me too, that is why I already installed that x-pipe, and have the axleback mufflers on order. Sadly, they are on back order until mid-September. I love the looks of the tips as well, so I can't wait to get them and put them on.

 

Priced at $35,000, okay I've just lost interest. MT estimate was $32,000 with an automatic. This should have put the manual at $31,000. Foolish when an extra $8,000 will buy a GT500. I will spend the same for a 2008 400hp Boss Mustang thank you

Showing that Shelby has already listened to the public and addressed your concern.<!-- / message -->

 

Nelson Ledges in northern Ohio has bumpy surfaces, which a lot of drivers complain about when they go there. It seems some road racers prefer SMOOTH road, given the speeds they can attain and the rebound that can move wheels off the ground. I am sure that would be a hoot at 120mph.

The development track that Ford uses in Dearborn has surfaces that equal or are worse than Detroit area roads. Those things are ROUGH!! These were used in the development of S197 suspension.

Have you driven the S197 car yet? Take one for a test drive.

The upcoming Camaro and Challenger will make these discussions a moot point, as I believe the Mustang will get IRS to be competitive.

 

if they want to test the suspension to hell and back........please come to new york and try.......

There must be a braking upgrade....the way they talk about the brakes in that video does not sound like the stock brakes I know...

 

I don't see anything that car has that mine doesn't except the Shelby name.

 

...and a factory warranty.

 

It also has 18" wheels and a horizontal style billet grille. You don't have that

 

That would be the biggie!

 

This is really the main attraction of the car IMO. If one was to have the drag, supercharger and handling pack installed by their dealer they would void the warranty but with the Shelby GT you still retain the 6 year 60000 mile powertrain warranty.

 

Are you sure on that last part Freak? 1 Bullitt posed that very same question, amongst others, about the warranty to Amyb. She was suppose to check and get back to Bullitt. I have'nt seen a reply yet. Bullitt, you did'nt receive a pm from Amy on this; did you ????
