    2007 Shelby GT- Super charger advice.

    Wow.. :rolleyes: Should I even get involved with this post? Think of the original GT-350s back in the 60s: Mustang fastbacks with Shelby parts, badges, extra horsepower, and Shelby's name.. Now look at them - pretty rare, and worth a lot of money - not to mention, constantly being cloned...

    Squeaky brakes on '07..

    I took off the passenger side rims and thoroughly inspected the brakes.. Compared to every other wheel, the rear passenger rotor was very 'shiny' - as far as being a reflective surface, you can pretty much see your face in the rotor.. The other rotors are not so shiny... If any of the brakes...

    Anyone out there with a C/S?

    You are basically describing a Shelby GT, which shares the front/rear bumpers and side scoops with the California Specials. C/S: bumpers, colors, interiors, side stripes, 18" rimes, etc. Shelby GTs: bumpers, CAI, 1.5" lower suspension, exhaust, etc......

    synthetic oil

    The Shelby gets Mobil 1 5w-20 every 5000-6000 miles (every nine months or so). The '65 (with a new crate motor, carburetor) gets 10w-30 Mobil 1 every year - which is only a few hundred miles (it's a show car). I would quit changing it at 2000 miles. It might be giving you piece of mind, but...

    How to clean Bullitt air filter?

    Since the Shelby GTs and Bullitts are essentially the same underneath, I am wondering if it's the same filter as the SGT.. If so, I have cleaned mine once.. it now has 22,000 miles on it. I used the K & N process, and oiled it.. This has been debated very heavily on the Shelby forum.. there...

    Squeaky brakes on '07..

    Hey everybody, The '07 Shelby Gt has about 22,000 on the odometer, and the brakes are squeaking. After pulling a front and rear wheel off to check the pads, as well as checking the other side with a flashlight, the pads still seem to be pretty meaty.. They are by no means in need of...

    GT500 Spoiler Install.. How?

    I just purchased an OEM spoiler from eBay, although it did not come with a template.. Do any of you know where to drill the holes? I know how to prep the surface and install the stripes, I just don't know where to drill. Any help would be great. Thanks! :nice:

    2010 mustang pricing....

    I know most people prefer the 5-speed, but why has the automatic increased from $645 to $995?? And over $2000 to have navigation and automatic climate control?? :rlaugh::rlaugh::rlaugh: That's getting into Mercedes territory. There is also the fact that the new dash design does not look...

    Did the S-197 have any changes to improve Safety Ratings in 2008?

    +1 The Shelby Gts all come standard with side seat airbags, whereas they are only standard on regular mustangs starting in 2008...

    can anybody find any problems with this?

    It's legit.. other than the inappropriate mods.. All SGTs (07s, 08s) have the 'Powered by Ford' badges.. they are worth a pretty penny on eBay.. If you can even find a set.. :nice: Floormats are not stock. The SGT mats are carpet with SHELBY emblems.. again, they are worth a lot of money.

    can anybody find any problems with this?

    Make sure you get the factory Shelby mats.. they are actually worth about $400 on eBay.. There is a link on the Shelby forum.

    can anybody find any problems with this?

    If that is really the price... :nonono::cry::eek: Other than the plain GT 500 rims, and god-awful spoiler, it is a real SGT.. the only reason for it to not have the dash plaque is because of theft.. If you can get that car for $19k, jump on it.. :)

    65 Mirrors on my 08 GT

    I admire your workmanship! Excelent job. However, the mirrors are a bit out of place on the large s197s.. While the stock mirrors are somewhat ugly, the do an excellent job of making blind spots visible.. :nice:

    Auto or Std

    After driving the Shelby for about a year and a half, my next car will probably be an auto.. While a stick is fun for the track, and playing around, it's just not practical on a daily basis. I have never gotten used to being stopped on a hill with a stick.. and around here, there are a lot of...

    My pictures of 2010 Mustang from LA Auto Show

    To those saying they don't like the rear or the black plastic, you need to see it in person. In pictures, it's hard to get a grasp of how nice the car really is.. Looking through all of my pictures, none of them compare to reality.. Before seeing it at the show, I hated the a$$ end.. Now I...

    back from LA auto show, my official review of Mustang/Camaro/Challenger

    I agree with you, for the most part. I am not too concerned about HP with the new Mustang.. 300 is more than enough for me, and still enough to get myself in trouble. Like you said, the Camaro display was pathetic.. I remember the male model (:rolleyes:) saying they were 85% final...

    My pictures of 2010 Mustang from LA Auto Show

    So just to add some info: Both the arm rests and the center console have a slant.. they dip towards the front of the car. HVAC controls look awesome. The entire center console seems more GM than anything. The typical Ford controls are gone. The three buttons used to control gauge...

    I believe that is the supercharger that will be available from the factory.. it's a whipple.. Not 100% sure though.. :shrug:

    My pictures of 2010 Mustang from LA Auto Show

    I went to the show yesterday.. I thought I would get a bunch of pictures for everyone. New colors are amazing in person. A lot of you guys thought that was a key hole in the spoiler--it's a camera. The interior is vastly improved.. very luxurious.. Dash does have a "soft touch".. not just...
