    Hmm auto or stick?

    I plan on being in a major city in the next 1-2 years, and I'm getting a stick. I would feel like a hypocrite getting an automatic, something about a Mustang without a stick shift doesn't sit right with me. I've since been learning how to drive a stick shift, tons of fun. I go back to my auto...

    Well...its official: "Ford Shelby GT for the Masses"

    Here's some wheel spinning news - Amy B. has stated that there will be a supercharger option on the Shelby GT; they are working on it to make it a "check box" selection. I'm assuming that since everything on the car is under warranty, the supercharger will be as well :jaw: ?

    4.10's installed-wow!

    When people get 3.73 or 4.10 gears installed on their mustangs they always say they can really feel a difference, or the car now feels the way it should. Could anyone elaborate on this? I know the basics behind tall and short gears and the benefits each one brings to the table.

    Well, now I've gone and done it...

    Romeo I would have done the exact same thing...if I had a job and wasn't still in college =). Grats man :nice: .

    What Mod is this?!

    Just to double check - the color on your GT and Mustang GT is "Tungesten Silver", not "Tungsten Grey". Tungsten grey is too purplish, and Satin Silver is too grey - I'm looking for that, as you put it, metallic shine.

    2007 Shelby GT preview on Edmunds

    As me, romeo, and FNG really hammered home some pros and cons in another thread, I'll say it again. I personally like this car. I like it's style, I like it's extras, I like it's warranty. I've never been much for racing, or worrying about how fast can I do 1/4 mile. I also don't like paying...

    Crappy Stock Paint! Help?

    I'm a little dissapointed at the color selection and paint quality used on s197. Paint color/quality is a big pet peeve of mine (and I'm sure many others) when buying a car, and I'm not impressed with the colors or the quality on any of the s197 mustangs thus far - what ever happened to that...

    What Mod is this?!

    The Tungsten Silver, not Tungsten Grey, is truly an awesome color - it's just that deep brillant shine I'm looking for. Plus, the red interior on it is awesome. Reign, did it cost extra for the Tungsten Silver on the Mustang GT, and are you happy with the paint job? Does the color respond...

    Well...its official: "Ford Shelby GT for the Masses"

    ^^^ I'm with you two guys. It does have alot of stuff that I would look to upgrade on my Mustang in the first 6-12 months. It's all covered under warranty, there will more than likely be upgrade options (per Amy B.) you can get on the Shelby GT, I also read a post from Amy B. stating that they...

    What Mod is this?!

    After 30 minutes of googling I found the color; its called Tungsten Silver. I think it was made specifically for a special edition Ford GT, and they just also used it on the concept Mustang. Wonder how much it would cost to get a stock Mustang painted with that color :rolleyes: . With the...

    What Mod is this?!

    I have no idea why they didn't just go straight to production with that - perhaps they couldn't keep it in the mid $20k price range which they were gunning for. Here's an Idea, stick a 5.0L 400 HP engine in that and sell it. Still any info on that color - standard mustang color with a really...

    What Mod is this?!

    Any ideas on the paint color? It's too light to be Tungsten Grey, and too shiny to be the Satin Silver. Custom job or just Satin Silver HIGHLY waxed?

    What Mod is this?!

    Any idea if they offer a body kit like this, the concept is better than the actual =/.

    What Mod is this?!

    Seen it in numerous photos, but have been unsuccessful finding information about it's modifications. This is hands down the best looking s197 Mustang -period. I have a bad feeling though that it is merely conceptual, and isn't available in aftermarket body kits. Forgive the no thumbnail...

    Well...its official: "Ford Shelby GT for the Masses"

    FNG, Srothfuss - I couldn't agree with you more. I'm not very mechanically adept, so I'd really like to just purchase a SE Mustang, or something higher priced tagged under warranty and leave well enough alone. $35,000 for the Shelby GT when the GT500 coupe MSRP is what - $41-43k? If one...

    Well...its official: "Ford Shelby GT for the Masses"

    Just saw a video from http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=116496 They say $35,000 for the Shelby GT. A post on another forum from Amy B. says "Under $35k". Hmm...can you say $34,995.00 ? :rolleyes: Also another tidbit of info on a possible go-between...

    Well...its official: "Ford Shelby GT for the Masses"

    As far as I know Romeo, the BOSS is a very strong speculation. I would like to know how the Challenger and the Camaro are going to be aoa $30k, with what they are putting in them - or what is being *strongly* speculated putting in them. It's been hinted that the Challenger will be aoa $30k...

    Well...its official: "Ford Shelby GT for the Masses"

    We may be overpricing the gap between the GT and the GT500. The shelby GT is going to carry a higher MSRP and a more than likely higher markup due to fact that it's modifications are done by Shelby. This may not be the case with the future BOSS stang if it's a mass produced vehicle by Ford. I...

    Well...its official: "Ford Shelby GT for the Masses"

    Ford will continue to make the Shleby Cobra GT500 as long as there are people to buy it, or Ford/Shelby decides to come out with something bigger *hint*GT500KR*hint*. And even then, they could continue production of the GT500 as a stepping stone between the Shelby GT and the GT500KR - sort of...
