Project GT/SS

CutterWolf · Jan 26, 2009

This car started life out as a 06 GT before I started my project GT Super Snake. I’m building what I believe, or my version of a Super Snake using a GT as the base car. I’ve just about finished all the exterior mods and will be moving into the performance mods next. This car is a one off build and I’m not trying to copy the Shelby GT500 or Super Snake but instead make my own.

Pot is a nutritional supplement.

The Shelby Super Snake is one bad to the bone car. Your version is like putting Cobra snakes on a V6. after the bling is got passed, there isn't anything left.
If you like it, That's all that counts.

It's nice, but im not about changing badges on a car... Looks different from the last time i saw it at the car show...

HEAVYGT · Jan 26, 2009

beautiful looking car and then you open the hood....

matsum91 · Jan 26, 2009

looks pretty beast

looks great, a bit showy for my taste but I like a more subtle approach and it's great for what it is. If I were you I would have done the performance mods because now you're gonna get a good amount of grief for all bling and no bite. Hope you don't run out of cash for the car before you can make it live up to it's exterior.

I don't run into any grief. Performance mods are coming last because they take a lot more planing to ensure I get what I want. Changing exterior mods is fast and eazy and if you don't like something it eazy to fix. Performance are a whole another story..

Ummmm..........your car is BEAUTIFUL! Don't let these guys discourage you. Once you throw the huffer on there, you will be able to out-run most cars on the road.

The only thing I'd a done different is left all the GT badges, or removed them all together. I'm not a fan of throwing emblems on something that isn't what the emblem advertise. Even though I went with the GT500 front end conversion on my car, I left the badges that say GT on the side and the rear, and I didn't get the snake that goes on the front grille.

With that said: The car looks amazing and I'm sure it turns plenty of heads!

sorry in hindsight my post wasn't quite clear I didn't mean that you can't have a good looking car unless it performs well. I'm just saying that alot of people might see the badges and assume it's something that it's not

i like your car alot.

i am planning on making my own version of the 05-09 stang with my car.

i've got it all planned out but its just taking me time to save up when i think about it because the money i would be using on that could go to the blower i want to throw on haha.

Ah! Ok I'll have to look threw my pictures of that show to see if I can find a shot of your car. And yes, my car has had alot more mods done since that show.

As far as the badges go here is my thinking on it and more and more people are coming around to it. Badges don’t make the car and are really nothing more than eye candy and here are the reasons behind it. Let’s say you own a GT500 and you remove all the badges from the car, Cobra’s, GT500 lettering and Shelby lettering. Does that mean that now you no longer own a GT500 or a Shelby? Of course not, now what about if you like the tri-bar pony that’s on a V6 and you put it on your GT500 instead does that mean your GT500 is now a V6? Again no.

I use to think the very same way you do, “Don’t put badges on a car that its not” until I finely learn that badges mean nothing on a “modified car”. Modified cars are just that which means they are no longer stock which means the owner is free to do whatever he or she likes to the car since they are now no longer trying to maintain a factory car with all OEM parts and match numbers (A collector car). On those cars badges mean something because it rises or lowers the over all value of the car. (like a 69 Boss vs a 69 GT, the boss is worth way more)

It’s just like in the world of hotrods; I can’t tell you how many Chev’s I’ve seen with Ford engines in them or the other way around. Did it make that 33 Chev into a Ford because of that? No it was still a 33 Chev.

I don’t try to play my car off as anything other than what it is, “a custom modified GT” and when I’m asked, “nice cobra” or nice GT500, or “nice Shelby” I’m the first to point out to them that its not, “it’s a GT”. Even when my car still had the full GT badges on it people would still make the very same comments all the time. So either way badged or not people are still going to think my car is a cobra......

Why bother with badging at all then? What is it about the Cobra emblem that enhances your car? I'm not dumping on your decision, just trying to understand it.

I don't think your dumping on my decision. I think thats a very good question and here are my reasons behine it.

1. I like the way they look. And 2. Because they tie in the whole GT Super Snake theme of the car. There for they enhance the theme of the car. If I was not building a theme car I would of removed all the badging from it to include the GT badges.
