ApexStang Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I thought I would post this here for all of the Shelby Enthusiasts to take a look at and offer opinions. The GT350 is my most favorite Shelby of all time and not sure what I will do if Shelby does indeed build a GT350 down the road. My car started as a normal old Mustang GT and I added the Cali Special front and Rear Bumpers, GT500 spoiler, Torq Thrust Wheels, Agent 47 Mirrors, Shelby Hood Pins, and a bunch of interior goodies. Paint stripes and the GT350 decal on the side. I need to add the periods though for "G.T. 350". The engine includes the Whipple HO Kit running 12 PSI. The exhaust is a Pypes O/R Pipe, SLP FowerFlow axel back and the suspension includes Roush components along with BMR components. Let me know what everyone thinks!

Grabber Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 You have done a nice job on this. Very cool looking car with performance mods to match the look. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reino Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Very Nice. If those are indeed the BFG KDW's how do you like them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexStang Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Very Nice. If those are indeed the BFG KDW's how do you like them? They are indeed! I love them. My only complaint is that they don't make a 295/40/18 size. That would give me a little taller sidewall in the rear to help fill the fender. With the one inch drop though, the 285/40/18's look fine. The tread pattern is great and they offer excellent traction. The other tires I considered were the Nitto's and Falken RT615. Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobr13 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Like what you have done. I think I saw your car on another site a few months ago, when I was debating about getting anthracite torq thusts. Yours looked so good it helped me pull the trigger - I love mine with the silver stripes. Thanks. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh8SnakeDriver Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I like what you've done with your car. It looks real good. I see you have visited MGW Ltd. for some bling. L Nice job! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsdad3423 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Looks great! One question, why not label it "GT350S" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexStang Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Looks great! One question, why not label it "GT350S" ? I thought about renaming it G.T.350R or G.T.350S/C I believe when C.Shelby added the Paxton, he renamed it G.T.350R. So keeping with tradition, I might go for that.

dhof303 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 The Paxton Shebly was renamed G.T. 350 S, the "R" model was the name for the race version available from Shelby/Ford for trans-am racing, not intended for street use, a VERY different car than the street version. Street version=306bhp, carpet/glass windows/mostly sheet metal, Race version=350+bhp with no comfort amenities, plexiglass windows, and a few more fiberglass pieces. I like what you have done with your car. We were doing the same thing in December of 04, not knowing what the 07 Cobra was going to look like this is how we did it: Derek I thought about renaming it G.T.350R or G.T.350S/C I believe when C.Shelby added the Paxton, he renamed it G.T.350R. So keeping with tradition, I might go for that. Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhof303 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I really like your side stripes more than mine. Good looking car bud! When we first started modding this car there were few things available in Dec of 04, so the only graphics I had to choose from were for a 99-04 Mustang. I got them from Graphics Express in Inverness FL, they came as two complete side strip packages that I had to cut out for the letters. The letters were on a separate page and could be spaced however you like. At first I was worried about the look with the letters split on the door and front fender, but now I have no regrets.

crispy23c Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Let me ask, at 12 psi what are you pushing out for HP at the flywheel? Overall I really like the looks of the cars, but I am really a sucker for the '67 hood, it gets me every time. I do like the '47 mirrors, too, nice touch. Both cars look great, guys. BTW, dhof303 is correct, the paxton s/c car was the GT350S, and the R was entirely different altogether. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Sure, at 12 psi I am pushing 475 HP to the rear wheels. I just removed the O/R H pipe and now it dyno'd at 465 HP at the rear wheels. The O/R H was just too damn loud with my SLP Power Flow axle backs. Now the sound is perfect and I can finally here the Whipple! My AFR is really flat around 11 - 11.5. Brenspeed handled the tune. It has some excellent torq down low! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliment. I'm on another board right now arguing with some joker that is basically calling my car a poser. I told the dude that until Shelby/Ford start building a actual GT350, I'm not sure what I am posing against! Ha,ha! It is a tribute car. My tribute to one of the coolest mustangs built!
