svtbird91 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Found this on the shelby site ,it's been there since Nov ,I thought it was interesting: I wonder what they are working on? Gary Patterson USA 6 Posts Posted - 11/21/2005 : 17:00:48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These cars are still marketed and built by Ford. Carroll has given us the following number at Ford for the most up to date information on the car. 800-367-3788. We are also working on an exciting upgrade package for these cars once they are released.

crispy23c Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 That number looks like SVT's. What would I guess? Either a blower pulley swap w/Tune, or a complete blower swap to a twin screw. This will most likely void your powertrain warranty as any other aftermarket mod (of that magnitude) would do. Let's see...other offerings.....wheels? graphics? hood? handling? It's all possible. We should be hearing more on that soon, I would bet. I'm sure Shelby has a nice leg up on the competition (since he was a part of the developement of the car)- as far as aftermarket product roll-out is concerned. And think....he would have a "captive" (or should I say captivated) audience. Wouldn't you like your Shelby modded with Shelby aftermarket? Keeps it "pure Shelby". Note: this is strictly speculation on my part. Your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svtbird91 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I'd like these on my GT500 - http://www.carrollshelbywheels.com/ Those wheels are exactly what I was thinking. I don't think Shelby would interfere with the factory warranty. I wonder what else ,maybe side scoops ? If they are authentic "Shelby" parts they would only enhance the value. What do you guys think?

JETSOLVER Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 How about this little set-up? IRS and SLA As a bolt on this might make for a SERIOUS track car! :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would drool for this...It will be available they hoped by the end of 06. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how Steeda et all will approach this car as the SVT stuff in years past was mostly modified GT parts. I wonder if the "upscale" part of SVT's new look will make for a very limited aftermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07 Shelby Cobra Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I'll wait for the 60,000km warantee to expire before I go with Mods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGT500 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I think I will wait too with the Supercharger mods after warranty ends. Thinking about a Whipple upgrade, exhaust and suspension. Have to keep the original parts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaylan1521 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I'll wait for the 60,000km warantee to expire before I go with Mods! With the amount I will be driving the car that'll take 10 years. As much as I say over and over every muscle car I get that I will leave THIS one stock the longest I've lasted is about 10 months before I start to tinker. With my current Mustang it started out with a H-pipe for the sound and a shifter as the factory unit was junk and four years later the car runs mid 11's. So after the first 1000 or so km's I'll do a baseline dyno pull and then I'll let all you guys know what a tune pulley and exhaust will gain.

I'm not mechanically inclined, but I'm having trouble believing that any basic mods like air induction, IRS, exhaust or others would really make a noticable improvement in performance, when we're already starting at the top. I don't expect I would make any changes other than cosmetic, like rear quarter window covers, SHELBY lettering accross the brow of the hood, (if I can find it) GT500 on the right hand side of the deck lid to balance out the SHELBY on the left, leather roof liner, etc. KingCobra.

DutchGT500 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 When I saw the first photos with the Shelby letters on the left side I was disappointed about it. The letters are too big. The concept was nicer, but because of costs they kept the regular Mustang decklid. A rear spoiler with the third light in there was much better. I agree that an emblem on the other side too is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Just spoke with SVT. They're aware that the general preference was the concept deck lid with the brake light in the spoiler and SHELBY on center, but because of cost they nixed it for the new style (bummer), and there will be no GT500 on the right (major bummer).

DutchGT500 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 There you have it. Now we have to do it our own way. Hope they stick the emblems or we have to fill holes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know KingCobra, Brad says the following: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=42774 I'm inclined to agree since he dines with Shelby and HTT from time to time. So let the excitement begin! ..and you all better post pictures of your cars when you get them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsuds Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Come to think of it. I like the idea of the GT500 emblem myself. I'm sure some aftermartket company will make or just buy the letters on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
