Marc@Kentucky Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I saw this posted on another site and don't remember seeing it here, so here's a comparison (for what it's worth). Sorry if it's a repost http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq06eUNlyzI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpretzel Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I hadn't seen that before, but it's not very accurate. They say the Shelby has a 4.6L with 475hp Must have been a serious pre-production model...nothing done to suspension or brakes over a regular mustang? Thanks for posting the vid!

mad103 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I saw this video a while back. There are some inaccuracies. However, I do believe that the results of the comparisons may have very legitimate truth. The roush's are completely redone. everything is new. it is highly modified compared to the GT500. Now imagine....a GT500 modified like roush or saleens. ...The little brother GT500 would kick big brother GTs butt. lol That is also a reason why not THAT much else was done to the GT500. It really would beat a car priced at double. In the end ALL stangs and Fords are the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR 01 Cobra Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'm pretty sure that GT 500 had a 4.6 03/04 motor in it! It was one of the test mules. Ford has changed a lot on the GT 500 since that vid was shot! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i believe the brembos on the front currently are plenty. maybe just put some rear ones on there too for good measures. But with a racing upgrade to suspension, yea the car would be rediculous.

mikspny Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Convertable vs. coupe is the first mistake....and like one of you said this was a preproduction Shelby. HOWEVER, the compare of these two cars...2007 Shelby GT500 stock vs. 2007 Roush Stage 3 really did happen. The results of which will be published in The March/April Issue of Sports Car International. These are facts. The Shelby is mine and the Stage 3 came from Michigan (a manufacturer car) for this test drive. There was a highway section, road (145 mph on hwy 162....the Roush could not keep up and this is a bad thing to do) and then there was an informal drag and then a full out race on the road course. I saw the whole thing with my own eyes. I was driving the Roush myself chasing my Shelby down the Hwy! All other tests were done by professionals. The results I have yet to hear. Although I did see what happened. You will have to wait for the article but I don't think there are any surpises. We'll just say I'm glad the Shelby in in my garage and not the Roush. PS. My brakes were toasted, but it was one of the funnest days of my life!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
