supe Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 With the introduction of a "REAL" Shelby CS6, the question is will this hurt the factory Shelby? Three car club buddies pulled their names from the local Ford dealer GT500 waiting list. WOW these guy all own 1966, 1967 Shelby’s. Its looks like Mr. Shelby pulled a fast one… :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Not for me. I've had 10 mustangs (2 of them Shelbys). I want one produced by Ford. Good for them.... Better for me! B) Maybe there will be a bunch of them "switching teams". Nothing against Shelby, it's his name, he can do what ever he wishes with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruBlu01 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I bet those CS models are 4.6, 3V, with stock internals. He thew on a Centri. blower. More to go around I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think I prefer Ford's Shelby Mustang because it isn't too gaudy. The ones they announced this week look like something done on "Pimp My Ride", and being an old guy like I am I prefer the smaller deck lid spoiler rather than the 'Fast and Furious" style. I'll bet they are outrageously expensive because of the very limited production number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M5 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 The new Cobras are not a "real Shelby". The Real Shelby's will be not be manufactured at some assembly plant in Michigan. Take that same car send it to the aftermarket Shelby Headquarters and now you have a real Shelby. Only 25 V-8 are scheduled and I am trying to get on the list. Have fun with your SVT.... I want a SHELBY MUSTANG. Not an SVT ford fiesta,Lightning piece of Found on road dead crap.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an argument I'd want to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I think to make a Shelby, it takes collaboration between Ford and Shelby - which is what we have with the new GT500. Ford is obviously covering the expenses for the manufacturing, design, marketing, engineering, warranty and legal cost associated with the GT500. Not to mention the allocation of cars (a major hindge-pin). I was talking with a manager at Ford who said that as long as the marrige between Ford and Shelby remain healthy, everyone will be happy.

crispy23c Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 AMEN BROTHA! I thought Former E39M5's comment about Ford reliability was funny. As if sending a stock Mustang to an aftermarket tuner for "Shelby-izing" would make it somehow more reliable--not some "found on road dead crap". This guy knows Shelby/Ford History, oh yeah. Hence, the "Comic" comment on my last post... Sorry, but I had to flame on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
