creilly333 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I have a 2008 Mustang GT, in black, that I bought last New Years Eve. I have approx. 4000 miles on it and now have a daily driver vehicle that I use for work, so the GT is used less to keep the mileage down. After I bought it I realized that the car I really wanted was the SGT, however there were none available in my area at the time. I figured that if I were to trade the GT I would have to take a pretty large hit, but on the advice of one of the forum members I have begun to look into the possibility of building a CS8. I have a few questions :- As far as I know there are a few rules, in that the parts must be bought from Shelby or an authorized dealer. Must they be fitted by an authorized dealer or can I fit them myself ? What makes a Turn 1 and Turn 2 CS8 ? My understanding is that Turn 1 is appearance mods and Turn 2 adds the supercharger. Is there a list of parts that MUST be fitted ? ie Shelby Razor wheels, Paxton supercharger or can the parts list be changed to substitute parts from different manufacturers ? Do I have to fit the stripes or can I leave the car without ? I assume to get the plaque there must be certain parts fitted but surely I have to prove what parts I have fitted to my car. That's all for now. Thanks Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyDude Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I have a 2008 SGT You are probably 800 - 900 miles away, so if you drove it here you would have about 5000 miles on it. If you are interested I will get you $23k - $24k trade in on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creilly333 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 http://www.v6power.net/vb/showthread.php?t=29129 Paleoc, That was a great read, thanks. I have a lot to look forward to ;-) I talked with Keith at Shelby and he said I could either buy the kit or buy the parts individually and once the full kit had been purchased I would get the stripe kit and plaque for free.
