Carnut12 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 If it is only going to have 350HP I hope they cut some weight. I would think about it depending on the price of coarse. Considering a loaded GT now goes for the same I got my Shelby GT for I am thinking it may be to close to the price of the GT500. Time will tell..........

69dejavue Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Doesn't the ecoboost already have 365 HP? Just curious how much more Ole Shel can get out of it. Will it be a GT 350 TC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell.......... +1 I'm REALLY surprised by the price increases on the 2010 a fully tricked out GT is only a few thousand less than my car. With the GT in the upper 30's and the GT500 in the mid 40's they don't have much room in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 An EcoBoost V6 GT-350 would be a nice addition to the lineup. With slightly more power and torque than the current GT and likely less weight, it should be a well balanced car. Pricing will be important though. It can't be too close to the GT500 in price if the want to have succes selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

427 Cammer Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 GT350 a v6, dumb, should call it a GT356. A 2010 model styling and a v6, 2 strikes already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebadged Terlingua (minus the rabit)?... <edit> - I'm not agreeing with the "joke and insult" statement above or putting down the Terlingua, just stating that already is a Shelby Mustang with a V6. Actually, from a development cost and engineering payback perspective, I would bet it would probably just have the ecoboost 3.5L V6 from the 2010 Taurus SHO and few FRPP suspension bits.

CS spent a whole lot of time fiddling with small Chryslers, if anyone recalls. Not everything with the Shelby name on it has to resemble the gas guzzlers of 'the good ol' days'. This is a new era of new cars and new technology. That TT eco-boost will blow the doors off of any classic Shelby built. I can't wait to see what it looks like. Ken EDIT: SAI is in the business of making money. The market is moving to more fuel efficient cars. I'm just glad Shelby isn't bowing out or making themselves obsolete, by refusing to offer a wider variation of the cars they build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08SGT1977 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 thanks for posting. I saw the 365 hp Taurus SHO at Carlisle, very nice car. If it is a V6 the SGT will be the only small block Shelby Mustang... but maybe it will have the 350hp modular 4.6L crate engine transplanted at SAI to be truer to the bloodline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a V6 the SGT will be the only small block Shelby Mustang... but maybe it will have the 350hp modular 4.6L crate engine transplanted at SAI to be truer to the bloodline A few road test reviews have come up over the past few days regarding the SHO. Performance is impressive with a 0-60 time in 5.2 seconds and a quarter mile in 13.7 according to both Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Not bad for a 4300 lbs sedan, and close to the times posted by the 2010 Mustang GT. Put the same engine in a 3,500 lbs car such as the Mustang and it would give many V8s a run for their money.

So isn't this FRPP 'hot rod' engine just our 4.6L with the 'hot rod' cams and the blue cam covers? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94gt Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Can 350hp 4.6 GT-350 compete with a close too 400hp 5.0 mustang at $10,000 less? This thing could be a bigger flop than the Shelby GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
