LuckySnake Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'm not sure if anyone has posted this or not: Shelby GT500 owners are not to be included in the Shelby Owner's Forum. That's mighty nice of them! The GT-H is included. I was told it's only for a car they (Shelby Automobiles, Inc.) are currently producing.

wildosvt Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well, They didnt have shit to do with it. So it fits. It would be like having a GT500 forum on a camaro site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requis Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well, They didnt have shit to do with it. So it fits. It would be like having a GT500 forum on a camaro site. If they can attach Shelby's name to it. They should add the twisted little step child into the fold. Thats just crap. Requis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckySnake Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well, They didnt have shit to do with it. So it fits. It would be like having a GT500 forum on a camaro site. They are both Shelby Mustangs, both Fords. Before those GT Mustangs arive in Vegas, you could never tell the difference between any other GT Mustang, not even in the s/n. Your comparison is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTony Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I thought that this was decided upon months ago that the new Shelby GT500's would be a part of the registry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requis Im not aware of this but, Did zDodge build the Chargers with Shelbys nameo n it or did CS build them. That would sum it up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would sum it up for me. ...okay but thats not a FORD under that Shelby name...nor is that a mustang....without FORD there's basically no Shelby tied to the mustang platform...or Shelby heritage for that matter...I'm sure he would have gone on to do other great things in the business but you kinda need the mustang first then the Shelby...and well today isn't that what we have...except at 1000 years old he couldn't have been expected to play the same role he did back in the day...mans gotta nap. Maybe I have my facts wrong but I thought Shelby / Ford relationship is what started off the huge interest in what he was doing for cars...do I have this wrong?

owenkelley Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Im not aware of this but, Did zDodge build the Chargers with Shelbys nameo n it or did CS build them. That would sum it up for me. The Dodge/Shelby relationship was kind of like the current Ford/Shelby relationship. Most of the cars were built by Dodge with the Shelby badge put on them, but a handful were built at Shelby's facility - the GLHS's for example. Interestingly, the GLHS's recived their own little dash plaque with a unique production # and Carroll's signature printed on it, whereas the regular production Shelby Chargers did not. Sounds very much like the way the new GT500's don't have a unique dash plaque and the Shelby - GT's do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I NEVER understood this whole scheme of Shelby pushing themselves away from the GT500? This just doesn't make any sense to me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evilchris Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I NEVER understood this whole scheme of Shelby pushing themselves away from the GT500? This just doesn't make any sense to me at all. Why? It makes perfect sense to me. I've been saying all along it was a marketing gimmick and CS had NO involvement in the car at all other than to pose in pictures and say " lookin good' ". Shelby Auto's actions confirm my belief.

Blayne Blayne9067, No offense intended here, honest question: Where do you get your info from? I logged onto Shelby's forums, and the only area I saw that was linited to "Owners Only" was the CSX forum. That is the ORIGINAL Cobra's (you know, 2-seat aluminum, no top). all the other areas seemed to allow any Shelby. Please post where the info comes from, maybe a link would be nice... Mike.

Ninja Robert, remember to wear sand color clothing & not black (unless it's night time) to blend in with your surroundings when you go to Vegas for the real story I'll second that it would be nice to get an official response...AMy B from Shelby has been posting on Brad's site and over at SVT performance...maybe someone could ask her the question. And see what she comes back with. I suspect it will be much of the same or an even better politically correct statement...than what has already been put out there in the public domain. I don't really care either way love the car...but it would have likely cost me less if that good ol boy hadn't stamped his name on the ass end of my machine. And I suspect if we (consumers of the GT 500 hadn't helped hype up the demand the GT 350, and Hertz cars would likely not have even come about...amazing how this works...
