Hertz Rent-A-Shelby

Kinda sad that the GT350 only makes less power than an LS2 but it’s still pretty cool that you can rent one.

I like the black and gold

love it :tup:

why they just didn’t make the GT350 350bhp and the GT500 500bhp is beyond me. :gotme:

Why can you only rent it? I think thats :gay:

rent n’ spray!

Hmmm… wonder if these will be available in time for the first Seneca Army Depot autocross :snky:

Are you familiar with Hertz’s history of doing this?

exactly what i was thinking. you go rent one, and we will throw my kit on it.

Here is a history lesson on them.

lol

back in the day, racers used to rent a shelby, and swap the enigine into their own mustang for race day, beatthe living piss out of it on the track, then swap the engine back into the rental car and return it

many of those cars had like 60k on the chasiss and 300k on the engine, lol

anyone else see the article in the USA today about the new ford mustang “Gt-H” available ONLY to rent from hertz?

EDIT:
<----owned, i didnt realize it was a “shelby” and thought this was about a different car, disregaurd me

yeah i was gonna bring that up about Hertz history of renting Shelby Mustangs. im suprised they r still gonna do it this day and age though. whatever it’s cool none the less.

I wonder if you will be able to actually rent them to race on the track and beat the snot out of them, doubt that tradition will continue

:word: me too!

rent a racers for lyyyyyyyfe

so awesome they are bringing these back for rental only…the value is going to be sky high when they finally decide to sell them…

Thats awesome that they are really going to do that. They hinted at it when they announced that they were going to be building a shelby mustang when the new chasis came out, but I just figured that was all talk.

awesome :tup: :tup:

I wonder, since I had also heard a rumor…

what powerplant is in this? there was talk of shelby developing an S/C V6 'stang.

edit - n/m, 4.6L :cjerk:

here’s an original.

ugh…i hate everything about the new '05 mustangs…everything…sorry

I did too…at first. But I’ve seen some really hot modded ones and I love them now.

I’m suprised they would do it again give this day and legal age. :tup:
