busababy Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Wednesday Aug 23rd had my shelby delivered to my house. Went to the dealer that morning 2.5 hour drive signed some papers, gave him more money, and than had the beast loaded on a truck to come home. Driving for 2.5 hours on a interstate is no way I wanted to break in the motor. Anyhow made a website for the GT500 instead of posting pictures. Have a few things I will be doing next week so later in the week will have more updates. Enjoy, http://www.flairphoto.com/gt500.htm Later All, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intguys Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 did the red cobra floor mat come from the factory cause all I got were regular mustang mats when mine came in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busababy Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Exhaust sounds great....When you start it up you know you have 500 hp... now the bad part.. on my 300 plus mile journey up the mountains of W.V. it was great I was hammering it and the exhaust was roaring, on the way home I came a route that was more straight away so for about 45 minutes no hills no nothing just level driving and even in 6th gear at 65mph the exhaust sound was a little more than I would have liked. I guess you can't have it both ways so if you were going to take a long trip with the car and this exhuast bring plenty of CD's to drown out some of the tone. Would I do it again....yes it is worth the rumble at highway speeds to hear it when you are on it. Performance wise... well only have about 400 miles on it so each day I put miles on it she runs better so can't really tell you how much of a difference it made. BUT I will tell you the factor mufflers are heavy as hell and these are light...also there is less restriction with the Ford racing (which by the way are made by Borla) so you do pick up power along with sound. The floor mats are great.. the factory ones suck.. get a Fast Ford and Mustang magazine and the company I got them from have a 2 or 3 page add about 4 pages into the magazine. They show red with a mustang logo but call them and they will put a cobra on it. $ 74.00... well worth it. Monday getting windows tinted, louvers installed, and rocker panels removed for paint... why Ford did not spend the .25 cents extra on paint I don't know. My neighbor has a GT and his are painted and it looks great.... he paided 20 some thousand and I paid 44K and don't have it... go figure Next Mods once they are out and tested: Cold Air Intake Remap computer Pulley Change After some more miles (5000K) getting rid of the airplane gears for 3.73 Later, BusaBill http://www.flairphoto.com/busa.htm http://www.flairphoto.com/gt500.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdci Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 So you mentioned home in VA. Where in VA are ya. I have yet to see any out here close to Winchester. The dealer in Woodstock was running adds on the radio that they had Shelby's and Saleens. When I called they had like 2 GTs and 2 V6s. Great car! I want to order the same thing but I think I'll do a total stripe delete after hearing all the complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastbackman Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I must have those floormats. Those are awesome. Thanks for posting the info. This car should have came with those. The plain floormats were my biggest disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venom07 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 This is probably a dumb question but where can you get the exhaust system you used on your car and how much does it generally cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raw power Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 This is probably a dumb question but where can you get the exhaust system you used on your car and how much does it generally cost?

rpretzel Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for the info. Now if only I can talk my wife into letting me spend another $400 or so dollars.
