nice :tup: Though the 2003+ cobras were putting down some pretty good numbers with minimal mods too and for a LOT cheeper. too bad the new gt500 isn’t a little lighter. ---

They really screwed the pooch on pricing IMO. It’s an ok deal for what they are asking, it’s a horrid deal for what stealers are selling them for. I saw a vid yesterday of one in the 10s w/ pulley, exhaust, 4.10s, DRs and a few other small things. ---

The new commercial for them is pretty hott. And I am not even a big fan of Mustangs. Sounds so sick though in the commercial, you can hear the S/C whine. ---

Very nice numbers. Just make sure if you own one of these cars you are aware of this: “A word of warning to all Shelby GT 500 owners out there. This car has a totally unique electronic control system, not seen on any other Ford (not even the Ford GT). The drive by wire system will take power away if you pulley the car, and then add it back in slowly. The car could be given what is thought to be a _safe_ tune on the dyno, but then blow up a few days later.” ---

> [@JaysGreenLX](#): > > Alright, you can’t make a comment like that without some explaination. Seems like ford put a lot of development into a go fast car instead of working on more fuel efficient vehicles, with americans constantly bitching about $3.00 gas But this is just from what I read and see, I really have no hard facts nor do I care to find them ---

Somebody has to build something for the Fbody straitline guys now that the Transmarobird & GTO have been scrapped. Blackforest ROxors.
