New 06 owner with some Q's???

PDXStangDude · Apr 13, 2006

Just got my Tungsten Metallic Grey 06 GT Wednesday and luvin it!! Finally joined the forum and looks like I have a lot of reading to do.

My question is this.. I want to take my GT and do a throwback of a GT-350. What is every ones opinion of doing something like this? Pro's, Con's extra...

I want to do it right and what I have in my head so far is this-

Aesthetics

>CDC louvered C-pillar scoops for the Quarter window
>Street Scene Ducktail Spoiler (I wanted the CDC ducktail but it covers the middle brake light... not sure if I care but my dad pointed it so I looked at the alternative which is what I listed)
>CDC Aggressive Chin spoiler (On this I'm not sure if I should paint it Tungsten Grey or leave it black.. I'm almost opting to leave it black???)
>Duel rally stripes from end to end w/ the GT-350 stripe on the sides

Performance

This is were my reading comes in.... I'm not sure what I want to do in this arena. I would like to throw the ram air kit in but I'm not sure what performance increases would arise if any and I don't think the GT-350's had ram air. This choice would also be because of aesthetics.

Gotta pick an exhaust and headers

CAI ???

Chip and tuner??

I have read a couple threads about CAI and exhaust. Very cool and I will have to do some more research to figure out exactly what I'm gonna do.

Lots of resources here and I'm just glad to finally participate!!

Congrats on the car -- great color choice. One thing to consider when doing a G.T.350 "throwback" is that Ford or Carroll Shelby himself may do one. If that's the case, then you've got a "fake" (or "clone" I believe is the more politically correct term). You may not care about this, but I'd feel bad when asked, "Is that a real Shelby?"

PDXStangDude · Apr 13, 2006

yeah... I saw the pics when I googled GT-350 a few hours ago. Carroll Shelby is doing it (maybe). If that is the case I would not put the GT-350 graphic on the side of the car. Someone did one with an 05 and it looks good. Black with Gold rally stripes.

PDXStangDude,

If you want to see what your car would look like with a different look....... check out "My Garage"

Sweet!!! I heart Jack Roush Mustangs..

I forgot to add I may get the grill that moves the fog lamps into the center. Paroosing google images of older GT-350's (65-66 era) rear spoilers were non-existant from the way it looks. It doesn't look like they added the ducktail spoiler until 68 or 69.

Yes I live in east Vancouver, I'm a member of the National Bullitt club & SAAC NW (PDX Shelby club). The wife and I will be at the May 6th event at Suburban Autogroup in Sandy, OR showing both cars. Look us up.

I have an 06 gt convertible, and i have roush pulleys, roush rear panhard bar, a FR strut tower brace and a flowmaster exhaust( and im running Royal Purple )on mine and so far these modest and cheap improvements have made a BIG DIFFERENCE! I get better fuel econony than my mini van, but with the added fun!
My next purchase this month or next is gonna be a roush supercharger.( i couldnt get a cobra cause i was 50th on the list for 6 so my goal is to beat them )

You have fun
