Budman340 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I just posted this same thread on the SS boards. Hi all!!!!!!!!!! Here is something that has not been brought up before. When you start bringing your vehicles in for SS conversions and even on 40th Annv upgrades (powertrain) please, make sure that if you have already added a CAI and a tune, WE NEED to have your tuner. When we add the different super charger, we have to back out any tune that was already added BEFORE we can add the new tune for the super charger. I hope what I said made a little bit of sense. :D Basically what I mean is, if your vehicle already has a tune in it before it gets to the mod shop, please include the tuner so we can back it out. If not, we will not be able to install the power upgrade and add the new tune. Oh, one more ltiile thing to remember too----please-----PLEASE, if you have wheel locks on, please send the wheel lock too. It makes it a wee bit easier to remove the wheels :hyper: Thanks all!!!!!!!!!! Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSnake Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I can't seem to get a correct answer from SAI on the cost of the 600 hp power upgrade for the 40th. The new UPDATE release from SAI says that the 700 hp upgrade is 10k, including the new driveshaft. So how much is the 600 hp upgrade? Anyone?

SoCalSnake Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 The latest from SAI is that the 600 hp version is $7500, the 725hp is 10k. Just $2500 difference for upgrade to KB plus a new driveshaft? The difference is $5k in the SS. Math problems at SAI? :tequila: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the allocations were awarded through a lottery put on by Ford. Contact your local dealer for details on how to get your hands on one of these Kings. The King will be offered in 3 color combinations: Vapor with Blue Stripes, Vista Blue with Silver Stripes and Black with Black stripes. This 540HP monster will bolster Ford Racing Suspension, Exclusive 18" tires and wheels, and a King of the Road Hood with the distinct look that the Shelby's carried in the late 60's. The interior will have exclusive badging and embroidered headrests. The 540HP will be attained by a cold air intake and Shelby tune. The King of the Road will begin it's life in a very similar to how the Shelby GT does. Ford will build the GT500 at it's plant in Flatrock, Michigan. Any options such as halogen headlights, navigation, Shaker 500 or 1000 stereos and interior options can be added while ordering your KR through your dealer. It will then be shipped to our Las Vegas facility to be upfitted to "the King".

Many of you may have heard about our authorized Mod Shops that we are opening nationwide. Right now, we are happy to announce that we have added two Mod Shops to our Team. Tasca Ford, in Rhode Island, has been a longtime friend of Shelby. They have once again teamed up with us to be able to offer an authorized Shelby Mod Shop on the East Coast. For you guys in the South, we partnered with Quantum Performance, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Either of these two Mod centers will be able to upfit you Mustang into a 40th Anniversary, a Super Snake, or a Terlingua. They will also be offering upgrades to Mustang owners that want to add that Shelby "Zing" without adding a complete package to their car. Contact Chris Pessinis at ChrisP@ShelbyAutos.com for more information. Be sure to watch your local news stands! The Shelby Super Snake was recently featured on the cover of Road & Track's December issue. Also, Shelby's "Back to the Future" Annual has just been released and will give great insight to the rich history of Shelby, current programs going on at Shelby Automobiles, and a good idea of where we will to be going in the future! These magazines as well as others that may feature one of our Shelby Mustangs can be found at your local book stores, grocery stores, and department stores that carry periodicals. As you can see from this update, we have many exciting things happening. And you know, we have more coming. Thank you for your continued interest in genuine Shelby Performance packages. They truly make your Shelby something special. Your business and satisfaction are important to us. Best regards, Team Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerGmc Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 "The latest from SAI is that the 600 hp version is $7500, the 725hp is 10k." Yep! $2500 price delta. I'm more interested in the warranty/non warranty thing than the price difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdwaterHotrod Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 it says approximately $7500 for the 600 hp & what's your warrantee concerns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerGmc Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 ^^^^ A $2500 dollar difference in price to go to the 725 version seems to make the 725 hp version the way to go. The lack of warranty on the 725 version would be a more important factor for me than the price difference between the two versions. Make sense yet?

ILSTANG Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Just got the call to schedule my conversion to 40th package, power upgrade, and brake upgrade. I was told my car would be the 3rd or 4th with the power upgrade. They will be doing a time test to determine the exact time it will take to do the complete conversion. I am # 34 on the 40th package. Any suggestions on the best car carrier fron IL to NV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions on the best car carrier fron IL to NV? I just received the same call, I'm #37. I have asked what the power upgrade consists of for the additional $7500.00. I am currently at 530HP with Evo Stage II and on the fence of dropping that much money for an added 70 HP. If you send me your e-mail address, I'll send you the carrier list that Shelby Automotives provided me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt67 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 That is great news, It's been a long wait. I have used Reliable Carriers in the past, worked out fine. Which upgrade are you going with and what color Razors. I'm number #67 shouldn't be much longer. Thinking of the Gun Metal or silver on my Performance white.

mach1fever Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 If you buy a 40th package car used and want additional parts added, like supercharger upgrade etc. will you be able to purchase this at a later date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt67 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 If you purchase a used 40th and want to add the supercharger upgrade later, I see no reason why you couldn't take it to an authorized Shelby dealer or authorized mod shop. As long as it's done by Shelby it should go into the Shelby Registry as a 40th with the parformance upgrade. This has been an issue with me. Do it all at the same time or add on later? At this time with Shelby, the question is: Will there still be an SAAC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
