40th Annv power upgrades


Recommended Posts

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!!!!!!!!!!

SHELBY 11-30-07 CORRECTED COPY

 

UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!!

 

Shelby Owners, Future Shelby Owners, and all you guys inquiring on the GT500 packages:

 

COMMUNICATIONS:

 

To date, we have converted 45 Shelby GT500s into 40th Anniversary cars. Scheduling is starting to become increasingly faster, and we expect to have approximately 80 of these cars done by the end of the year. The 40th Anniversary package is capped at 500 units. We have sold over 400 packages now, so the availability will be gone soon. We have made a change in the suspension (adding an adjustable pan hard bar). All customers that have had cars that have been delivered prior to this change will be sent the pan hard bar. The bar will come pre adjusted, so you should be able to do a simple swap to readjust the geometry of the rear end.

Any parts that will fit into the trunk or back seat of the car will be shipped to you in it. The other parts will be packaged and shipped to you for a Shipping and Handling fee.

At the time your car is slated to come to our Mod Shop, we will have a quote for the shipment of your take off parts. Due to packaging, you cannot select which parts you take and which parts you do not want shipped. If you are hauling your car and will be taking your parts with you, we can package the parts for an additional fee. If you have any parts that you do not want, we will dispose of them for you.

Many of you have already seen pictures of these beasts and some have actually seen it in person. "Menacing" is the best word I have heard used to describe it.

 

Super Snake upgrades are available for all GT500 07' and 08' model year cars.

 

We have started making calls for the Super Snake and taking deposits and assigning CSM numbers.

OTHER SUPER SNAKE QUESTIONS

OTHER QUESTIONS

 

On both packages. We will only give credit for previously modified cars if the components have been purchased from Shelby Performance Parts. The components that we will give credit for must be one of the components used in our package. We will credit you in the amount of the cost for the parts only, not labor. Floor mats are excluded because the mats are different.

 

 

King Of The Road

 

The King of the Road will be hitting the streets in Spring 08. 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". While your vehicle is in Las Vegas, you can take advantage of our Museum Delivery Program to pick up your car RIGHT HERE AT SHELBY WORLD HEADQUARTERS! Contact Adrienne Poplin for details. AdrienneP@shelbyautos.com

 

But before you make arrangements to pick your car up here, be sure to browse www.ShelbyPerformanceParts.com to see if there is anything else we can add for you while your car is being upfitted.

Speaking of having this package installed starting at $18,995. 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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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?
