    New GT500's hand-built engine?

    Don't forget this phrase: "The cams and valvetrain are specific to the Shelby GT500. The cam drive system is unique and designed to fit into the Mustang engine compartment, which is narrower than the Ford GT’s." You wouldn't be able to switch cam drives from a Ford GT to a GT500 and vice...

    New GT500's hand-built engine?

    The heads on the Shelby will not be "exactly" the same as the ones on the Ford GT. As mentioned on the stangnet site main web page on the Shelby the heads are a different casting in order for them to fit in the Mustang engine bay. Flow wise and performance wise they will work AWA the Ford GT...

    Does the GT500 come with HID lighting?

    It doesn't appear that the Shelby has HID lighting or is even an option, it will be just a hdlt that uses bulbs (like the industry standard 9003 or 9007's) for its lighting. Tony

    Z06 vs GT500 (rant)

    I found this post on a Camaro MB I visit and it shows a chart of the fastest production cars that have lapped the 13mile 'ring, it's as current as I know so forgive me if there's a more updated chart: "if it gets around the ring in 7-8 minutes then its very good for a road going car on street...

    Z06 vs GT500 (rant)

    It posted the fastest time around the ring for a production car short of Porsche's Carrera GT. Nothing else was faster AFA a production car, if I remember correctly the Z06 was something like 7:43 around the 'ring (we're talking the 13 mile course that runs around the countryside here not...

    Shelby appearence question

    Yes, it's different from a GT. It has a honeycomb grille and the grille ends are angled in at the top of the hood to give it that snake look. The bumper cover is different too. Tony

    Z06 vs GT500 (rant)

    fullsadg, I didn't check any SVT dealers outside of Ontario but I did phone some dealers in different cities within Ontario and outside of the GTA area they were more inline AFA taking deposits for the Shelby. In the GTA area SVT dealers claimed that they have their allotment of Shelbys...

    Z06 vs GT500 (rant)

    I wish it was like that here but unfortunately that's not the case. The Shelby will be considered a limited production vehicle, much more so here than in the US. Which makes the price for Z06 here in Canada a major bargain considering what you are getting in the car. You know what they say...

    Z06 vs GT500 (rant)

    Maybe in the states since Ford has said it will try to keep the Shelby around US$40k and the Z06 goes for like US$68k and change. Here in Canada I've talked to SVT dealers and while they can't confirm a price for the Shelby they feel it will be around CAN$65-70k, a Z06 here goes for...

    Z06 vs GT500 (rant)

    I'm not a big corvette guy, but it's hard to not like the Z06. This car is a F-ing beast. It's amazing how the manufacturers can develop big HP cars and still have emissions and economy, it's unreal and you wonder when and if it will ever end. I was thinking about getting a Shelby but I...

    "PS" is no more. :(

    I have decided to not continue working on project sleeper and concentrate more on my Formula AFA mods are concerned. It wasn't easy coming to this decision but due to work contraints and lack of use of my Pontiac I needed to slim down the fleet of cars I own so the granada has to go. I have...

    Pics of "Vanilla Sky" Mustang?

    Hi guys, is there a site on the net that shows the Mustang that Tom Cruise drives in the movie "Vanilla Sky"? I believe it is a 67 fastback and I just want some nice shots of it to see how it compares to a 68 fastback if there is any difference. I've had my 408W running in the granada for the...
