EL SHELBY Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I just read in the latest Mustang Monthly that SAI showed a prototype turbo GT at Mid-America. It claims they spoke with a Vince LaViolette from SAI and that "Carroll ask all the time when we'll have a turbo package." Did I miss something from Mid-Ameica or is someone at Mustang Monthly smoking something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmn444 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I would LOVE a shelby branded turbo kit to be available! Pretty sure i'm going the turbo route either way, but it would be nice to keep it all "shelby" to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT4578 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 There was no secret SGT in Tulsa. The only SGT's that SAI had anything to do with while at Mid-america was the SGT/SR and the KICKER Audio SGT, it is a Paxton car. (and It was broke, so they were working on it) I was with the SAI people the whole weekend. Spent most of it in the SAI trailer in the A/C. :happy feet: Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWEDEMAN Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 This car will never be in the registry. It was not SAI authorized but was a one-off from Tasca from what I understand.

But you are right about the "turbo" as it's now a SC Like I said I loved the car but was only telling a story that I heard from someone else. When I think about it that person may have been a little envious of your creation? Ya think? As always though, take my posts with a grain of salt as most of them are very one sided and a bit jaded.

MMcGuirk Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I drove the developmental SAI turbo Mustang GT at the 427 drag races in Vegas last weekend. Very cool, different than my Whipple - not nearly as booming off the line. Great drag race car - launched at 4000 rpms, it bit and ran 12.9s. Faster than the SC cars, which were all spinning their wheels. I imagine with improved driver, 70 degrees and sea level this car would be in the low 11s.
