500forme Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thats funny! However I'm not sure that I understand the shroud of secrecy surrounding the completed units. How about for rough numbers sake, all of us TS members post our XL CSM numbers, and if anyone wants, list the equipment installed by SAI and where your from. I'm just curious. Here's mine; XL0253, 725 HP, un-polished SC, blue extreme brakes, short throw shifter, gun metal wheels. Albuquerque, NM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500FLYBOY Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'd like to know as well. They said a limit of 500 and for 2007 only. Though we also heard the GT500 was to be for 2 years only. And there was this little mistake of a 2008 40th that turned up. I think we heard that would be changed to a SS, but I never did hear an update on that one. SAI and Ford need to keep producing, but do they need to break promises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRT 0403 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 So who out there is in the process of getting the 40th package right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie G Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I canceled mine. I got a Kenne Bell 2.8H for 4Kwich I installed my self. I also have headers moroso tanks etc. Theses are the major pieces obviously I have CR HE by Van and lots of other mods. The only thing left is I need to come up with 6k for my Griggs suspension. That will be once I start working again , hopefully real soon :D Don't get me wrong I would love to have a 40th except the math no longer made sense.. with the amount of money the 40th gets in cosmetics, I have a very wicked car!

07SGT4578 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 So who out there is in the process of getting the 40th package right now? I was just at Quantum, they have 0 40th cars, but I saw 3 terlinguas, including yours. There was also about 30 cars for the SS, and 2 SGT's including mine. Josh also said it had been awhile since they did a 40th. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500forme Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Are you happy with the 725 hp upgrade? How does it drive on the street?I love the 725 upgrade, it exceded my expectations even at the mile high altitude here in ABQ. If you keep your foot out of it on the street, it drives just like the stock motor. As everyone else with the HP upgrade there is definately not enough rubber to handle even the slightest increase in throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are relatively few of us out there and we will always be kind of out of the mainstream Shelby offerings. My guess from what I have seen is right around 200 total. Just a guess though.

Dr. Jon Doc, I'm 151 but was reassigned a number when people dropped out for the SS packages. Originally I was 260 or something. I'm guessing that the number is closer to 300.

I would think that there is an expiration to the package offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that there is an expiration to the package offering. In the very early stages I recall that there was some talk that there would be a time frame to get this done, for some reason I'm thinking that it was 3 years. With that said, SAI has most of the parts because of the SS, so there is very little on the downside from the business perspective for them to not keep making them until they finally hit whatever number they decided to make. They have been cranking this package out since November 07 so I think the 40th package is close to having most everyone that wanted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from a future owner point of view, it would be nice to know what the window of opportunity is. As an owner I would hope that this program will be buttoned up some time in the near furure regardless whether it sells out or not. Just my 2 cents worth.
