Look at my handle. I don't hate Shelby.

I DO, however, hate the BS that has surrounded the arrival of these contemporary cars...and continues to flourish to such an extent as to alienate many Mustang enthusiasts.

 

They'd moderate it...

but I don't think they'd be alone in that forum.
hahaha

 

Not by a LONG shot. Read my post above.

 

Ok, how about "I hate Shelby and Ford (including dealers) Business Practices" Forum? That would probably be a very popular one here

 

Hi, Amy - thanks for posting!

Is a long way off like 1 year from now?

I suspect you can't say much about future product, however, if that 400hp came out of a non-supercharged aluminum block engine, you might be nominated for sainthood!

PS - Thanks again for the direct dialog. I appreciate it, as do others.

 

A polite and civilized post to AmyB. How refreshing. (no sarcasism here)

 

I'm gonna bite my tongue on this one...

 

You might like to suggest a "I lick Shelby" forum just to make it fair and balanced.

As I have previously posted, is about accountability.

 

At least I'm not in the middle of this one

 

George, we already have 2 of those forums.

This is a tarbaby, a quagmire. I'm gonna "cut and run"

 

This is a BULLITT thread, dang burn it!

Don't the Shelby boot-lickers have their own thread(s)?

Oh you know I'm just kidding... mostly.

 

No kidding! Really?

I would have never noticed.

 

The smart a - - forums are two clicks over to the right

Crap news spreads like a virus..
and they are using dougs photoshop..how nice

 

I think it's pretty unlikely that either the Boss or the Bullit is going to have big 400 hp numbers. Even the Shelby GT is just an intake, muffler and timing advance w/premium fuel addition. Engines cannot be re-cammed and re-compressed without Ford incurring major emission re-certification costs which cannot be paid back through sales of a limited editin high performer.
Unless they go to a completely different general purpose engine, which has been rumored - but which I doubt - and re-certify for use across the line-up, which will mean that every GT gets the benefit and you can have one for 500 over invoice, they are not going to produce a 400 hp limited edition so that ebayers can charge $25,000 over msrp. Ford is in this business to make money for themselves, not for dealers and ebayers.
The Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500 is one thing. Two or three more special editions cannot be based upon fundamental engine differences resulting in a hundred horsepower, like back in the '60s. You'll be stuck with your intake, exhaust and timing mods.

 

Well they better do something if they intend to compete with the new Camaro and Challenger. I just hope they keep it in the same price range. The Mustang has always been an affordable car, raw V8 power for a reasonable price, anything with shelby's name on it excluded.

 

See BOSS 6.2L and BOSS 5.8L program.

 

I'll see ya there...

 

 

Yes, but its also NOT emissions legal. And to top it off, that is a $15,000 motor your taking about.
