If you purchased a new Shelby GT500, would you mod it?

absoufreakinloutly not. i wouldnt know where to begin. only thing i want is no stripes.

the only possible thing i could think to do, is make it look like a V6, so it would be a supersleeper.

My plans:

CAI, midpipe & catback. And if I felt the need for more power after that I would go with a pulley, chip/tune - similar to the 03/04's.

Of course !!! 450+ isnt enough. Actually its plenty for most but thinking about how much power a pulley, cold air, exhaust and tune would add makes it too much to pass up !!! Of course I wont ever own this car, so my vote doesnt really matter...

I think Ford builds these cars to be modded. They can't really give us what we want (a 600 horsepower Mustang) becaue of all the extra $ it would cost to sell, so they give us a car that is possible in making 600 horsepower with some simple mods.

We can't let Ford down can we???

A smaller pulley and full exhaust would be good enough for me

I would prolly change the S/C later, and do all the boltons...unless i could get 650RWHP with the stock S/C, then i would leave it....you guys hear of that new Z06 vette? mid 11s on street tires supposedly.

You hear of the 03/04 Cobra?? Pulley, tune and exhaust = Mid 11's on street tires. Uncle Meat is knocking on the door without the pulley. Pulley, tune and exhaust on the 07 = low 11's (maybe high 10's??). Nothing wrong with the vette though. Missing a couple of seats and costs twice as much (they say $70's for the Z06) so it is not apples to apples. Own a Vette? Enjoy it. Own a Mustang? Enjoy it.

I will stick with the Mustang, it is definately my preference.

HELL YAE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the 500 responds to mods as well as the 03'-04' an I/E/tune and pulley swap are in order for sure. I sure hope they go with the twin-screw SC, I have heard rumors that it may be a modified version of the Heaton............... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What Sawman said! You just have to get it breathing. Cia, exhaust,pulley and tune. It's begging for that.

Only problem with keeping it stock is getting beat by bolt on 03-04 Cobras... pay that much for that car and I would be PI$$ED to get beat by an 03. Header back exhaust, some kind of intake, real small pulley, tune it, nitto DR's and some kind of shifter (unless stock was nice).

*EDIT*- whoa guess i found this in a search and didnt realize it (was bored) sorry for digging this up, hahaha

Hello Cobra San

There is no way you could go a week, no a day without doing some mods to that car TX Snake Charmer! This Tennessee Cobra owner knows you all too well! Besides, all your mods are always so great! Like some others said, I think Mustangs were made to have modifications unless you plan on keeping it as a true classic.
