ilmor Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I was wondering...because the GT 500 is an SVT product, will the GT 350 be by SVT also? Or will it be purely a Shelby built in Vegas with no SVT involvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyDude Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I thought SVT was done... Done? They haven't finished building all the 08's yet. Then onto the 09's, 10's, 11's...... They have the Boss to build yet and who knows what else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I thought SVT was done... If anything, SVT appears to be very healthy and doing well. There was an article about it in last weeks AutoWeek magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I thought SVT was done... They WERE at one time, acording to an article I read several Years ago. Some bean counter came in and dismantled them (because she does not like Muscle Cars) but Ford brought them back to do the Shelby GT 500 and I think that bean counter is now gone. David.

Hopefully he's working at GM now. why is there no news on the GT350....chevy is all over with news on the new camaro which include nocamo mules running around...im getting a little upset at ford for at least not dropping some hints on whether gt350 is at least being thought about..seems ford is back to its old tricks while chevy is at least willing to keep its enthusist informed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnoggle Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I wasn't aware that a GT 350 was ever planned or announced?? If it hasn't been planned, how can there be any news? I personally don't think we'll see a GT350 any time soon. At least not in this body style. Maybe after the 2009-2010 update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500-07 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 they say the 09MY GT500 will be a short run, maybe a GT350 for 2010MY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that 500ish HP 5.0.... not without a little help "No information has been released as to the horsepower specifications for the new 5.0 liter V8 or whether the engine will have a 3-valve or 4-valve configuration. But horsepower has been rumored to be in the 350-375hp territory." http://www.themustangnews.com/carnews_08/s...08fomoco116.htm That sounds like a 350 HP --- GT350 to me :shades: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilkilla Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 re: SVT they have a 2008 SVT Raptor F-150 still on the way this year, I think they're doing fine (I HOPE I can get to drive one of these, while I'm out there trying out the 2009 F-150s in detroit next month :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra SS Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I was wondering...because the GT 500 is an SVT product, will the GT 350 be by SVT also? Or will it be purely a Shelby built in Vegas with no SVT involvement? if they play their cards right, build a GT350 2010MY with a 5.0L by SVT, then SAI can do a 45th Anniversary package and a GT350R package. Just make the R package a track ready build and dump the 20" wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SGT1977 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I imagine it would be an SVT/Ford built Shelby (CS-SVT) because Shelby lost the lawsuit over the GT 350 moniker in 1984(?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500-07 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 look's like Ford/SVT wasn't interested in making the GT350 back in 2005, let's hope they have changed their program. post from another thread last night "By the way, this is the story and the GT350 is not in play here. I will say this again, just incase someone missed it. We proposed a Gt350 in 2005, it is always our intention to do a GT350, separately from the Shelby GT, The GTH and all other Shelby's. So the Shelby GT was built with the essance of the legacy and as a great car." Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy [/quo if this is amy's position then she needs to be removed from whatever position she currently holds at sai...if sai fails to even entertain the thought of a gt350 with the 5.0L (which is a natural fit)..then for all pratical purposes they (sai) need to go back to adding turbochargers to mopars and let SVT build the car at AAI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kb67 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Its a given that Ford would provide a platform for SAI to work from its been stated already I know, look at Steve Saleen's current setup hes building everything needed to go from scratch that costs some money that you may not recover. SAI has a built in market demand hopefully they can come thourgh with more products and performance options for folks to choose from. In my humble opinion they are waiting to drop a car based off the GT-R concept it meets the specs previously stated a car that has the capability to be modded to be a R model. The GT-R Screams Terlingua to me but maybe the color choice was pure coincidence. Now if the decided to go with a 5.0l running a updated 00R spec motor (about 385rwhp) and suspension basically FRRP parts and added some shelby parts (scoops, ducts at the quarter windows, brake ducts all function little flash then they may have a rush on a GT-350R) I'd imagine alot of people would lust after that to the point of having to add a second car into their shelby stable. Sounds like a solid plan to me. by thats just a humble opinion on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 The GT-R Screams Terlingua to me but maybe the color choice was pure coincidence. Funny, the GT-R screamed 'BOSS!!!' at me. I guess it's all perception. Terlinguas of the old days were mostly yellow & black, just like our show car...hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
