ShelbyCobra826 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Probably just a 2007 S-GT. They mentioned that the GT500KR was coming, which it is, but they were driving an actual S-GT, and since 2008 Mustang GTs aren't even released, they can't have been converted yet. The colors were right for a 2007 model, and as for horsepower, I've seen writers quoting 319 (per EPA testing), 325 (per original press releases and GT-H data) and 330 (per dyno pulls). Could be wrong, but I doubt it. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure that someone will...), but I thought that SAI had said that they were working on three 2008 Mustangs: GT500KR, GT500SS and GT-H convertible. Logic would indicate that they'd follow the GT-H convertible up with a GT convertible, but as the orignal GT followed the GT-H by a year, I would assume this would come as a 2009 model to keep interest up just before the new body debuts.

ShelbyPilot Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 ....I'm just stirring the pot. I assumed they are typos or a fact checker who needs to recheck their facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webba Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Well seeing how 90% of sales people at the dealerships still dont know what a Shelby GT is I guess we can let the meathead who wrote this article slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWEDESHELBY1 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 The meathead gave us bigtime kudos considering what Car & Dumber gave us. Secondly I agree with his assessment, the SGT is an awesome car possibly the best mustang ever made. Thirdly and lastly,heh heh heh I liked the way that sounded, Amy will NOt tell us anything she does not have to tell us as it could jepordize the $$ factor of Shelby. rememeber we are talking the internet here and that gets around MUCH faster than things did 40+ years ago. And as a business owner, I completely understandwhere they are coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I originally saw the above link on stangsunleashed. It takes you to Ford's Media site. I just tried entering "TAWA's Spring Challenge 2007" into google. It spits out a few different web sites but all of the links have the exact same press release. Maybe it's Ford spin. Maybe it hasn't hit paper's yet. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWEDESHELBY1 Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Hmmmm, thanks. I think we all should be excited about it especially it came from the Ford web site. I think the SGT is one of the best high performance Mustangs ever made, thus far as we have yet to put many miles on the car. Mine has almost 1000. I do have to my take my SGT in as it has started to spit & crap out @ 6000 RPM's, but that is small issue I believe. I have had many Mustangs before, many show mustangs, and this one by far is the most power responsive, best handling, nicest looking, most factory aggressive appearance I have ever seen. I think someone here said it best, this car makes you stand out in a crowd no matter what your driving. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelby69 Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 TAWA (Texas Auto Writer's Association) - www.texasautowriters.org. They have information from their 2006 rally but not 2007 yet. Ford must have released before they had a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
