y2kvet Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I read last week that the 2007 Shelby would have two new option upgrades available in December 06. 1. Suspension System 2. Navigation System Does anyone know if this is true and if so, what are the order codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I thought I read on one of the threads that the suspension upgrade was a tweak to the car and not a option, then I read that it was FALSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastersmech1 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Keep that nav for the minivan. Like JR sid in another post, "is a breast pump an option along with the nav?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Keep that nav for the minivan. Like JR sid in another post, "is a breast pump an option along with the nav?" Did you mean "BEAST PUMP" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastersmech1 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Did you mean "BEAST PUMP" No, I meant breast pump. It would be an appropriate option alongside nav in this beast of a muscle car. I like the nav in my family wagon, but lets get real, does it belong in this future classic.

mrfarmdog Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I thought I read on one of the threads that the suspension upgrade was a tweak to the car and not a option, then I read that it was FALSE. I started the thread on the suspension after talking to two separate people at SVT. Both mentioned the suspension upgrade happening at Job 2 which I understand is Dec 5. I have not read any other post regarding this info being false yet. I will go back and read recent responses to my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06ragtopGT Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Good luck. I've searched high and low for this info with no luck. If I knew my order was soon to be pulled I sure would want to know my options before its too late. even if its just a NAVI system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sunshine Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Nav system? On a Shelby? Or ANY muscle/sports car for tha matter? Only a metrosexual would need or put something like that in. Real men don't need directions from a computer or the hot chick in the passenger seat!

y2kvet Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 +1 Some of you are missing the point, in some instances having all available options make the car a rarity and more valuable down the road, even though it may be an unwanted or unnecessary option. It has been my experience most men need the Nav system but will not admit it, they would rather drive around lost for hours upon hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been my experience most men need the Nav system but will not admit it, they would rather drive around lost for hours upon hours. I didn't buy this car with resale in mind. By the time any of these cars are a "rarity", i'll be in the old folks home or 6 feet under. Lexus makes a nice metrosexual sports coupe with one heck of a nav. if I was interested in that type of car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSOLVER Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 We have a new person to the board, asking for legitimate answers to a good question or two and you people jump all over them. And you wonder were a certain stereotyping of SHELBY owners might come from? y2kvet, I first read of the infomation about possible job 2 changes when a person on another board posted they had read it. After I while, I bought and scanned in the article in question. This is all I know about beyond the internet hot air. Hope this helps some. Thread/ post 13 has the scan of the article.

Jetsolver: Thanx for posting the article, I printed it so I could read it, and I plan on seeing if my dealer can get the Reg. Rep. to get some info on this suspension tweak. The way it reads is that it is a adjustment, not a option. We will see. Thanks for doing the homework on this. I have been wondering about it.

Unknown. this has been debated, and I have reread everything I had on it, and the wheel hop is an issue, but until a few get into customer hands, I'll bet no one knows outside of a few folks at AAI what the changes are. As to getting your car updated, I strongly doubt that. As was mentioned in the other thread on this, running changes are a fact of life in any industrial manufacturing system.

If I came off as rude or arrogant, I appologize. Inappropriate how?? its a navigation system made for a car....unless your only driving it on the track...yah okay...considering the majority of sports cars up the line will be shipping with them. including the new Vette...how is this inappropriate....frankly I love the feature...and think its great that FORD is offering it especially since its a Pioneer deck and what looks to be a good one at that! Inappropriate in my books would be like putting a tow package on the shelby so I can drag my Jet Ski's or Sleds up to the cottage for the weekend...or I guess for that matter driving this thing in the snow... :happy feet: Cheers, Requis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2kvet Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Just to lighten things up a bit, I really think Ford should implement the NAV system and utilize internally since they are taking so long to get the GT500's out of the plant and railyards for delivery.

BadTony Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 navs would be nice but I'm SURE that Ford would go cheap. So, in the end it would be a useless option for the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnut Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 navs would be nice but I'm SURE that Ford would go cheap. So, in the end it would be a useless option for the extra money. I had NAV in my 2005 Vette, it was pretty cool for a while. Problem was that the maps are usually outdated in newer areas, just where I really need a NAV. I wouldn't pay the extra money for one now.

I live in a small city and know almost everywhere I go. Even when I go to Indy or Cincinnati, I know my way around. However, if I were planning on using the car to go on our vacations, then I'd want one...that would be very helpful. I doubt we'll take the GT500 on the vacation trips...I'd have ringing in my ears from the s/c. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETSOLVER Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I recieved an E-mail reply to my query about which parts are changing. The shocks and struts do have a superceded part number as of Dec. 5. There may be some still in the system as of that date, but that is what it is. They are still looking(I assume on coffee breaks) for any bushing or other numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
