pmason718 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I'm not sure if there is a topic for similar to this and for some reason I've been getting errors when I try to search but I would like to know what would you like to see Ford add to the Shelby. I'm talking about reasonable items not like IRS. I know I don't own one yet but I think heated and cooled seats would be a nice option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpmurr Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 As far as features heated and cooled seats are nice. I have them in my SHO and like them. However, it's not a must have for me in the Mustang. What I'd like to see Ford do is this. Cut ties with Shelby on product naming and go back to calling the car the Mustang Cobra. Then setup an arrangement with Shelby where you send the car to them from the factory for GT500 and GT500KR treatment. This way it allows Ford some more creative freedom with the car and gives more value to the GT500 name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbowles22 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I want to see a new halo car from ford. It's been a while since the GT. The GT500 is basically as good as it can get on this mustang platform as far as a production car. I would love for ford to keep the gt500 around.

shel-b001 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Get rid of the 2ct hood prop, paint the stripes on , power passenger seat , & tires that don`t turn into hockey pucks when the temperature changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Well, heated seats and power pasenger seat is now an option already. Painted stripes, yes, hood struts, yes, and I will add that Gary Disney now can ADD cooled seats to your existing Shelby if you are interested. As far as whats next? Yes, A new Ford GT like platform would be AWESOME! Every manufacturer has a supercar, why not Ford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDan Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Power recline on the driver's side, turn signals that flash three times for lane changes without having to hold the lever. 18" Mercury Marauder space save spare tire in the trunk. Heads up display, painted rocker's, and a bad ass dual clutch automatic trans as an option if we're in fairy tale land. Heck why not throw in an electronic differential and sophisticated traction control stolen from the F-430, so we can post up some amazing 2WD 0-60's like in the 3.3 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpmurr Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Rear Camera Do you really need a rear camera to backup a Mustang? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby.GT500 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Do you really need a rear camera to backup a Mustang? Really? I think what we really need is a front bumper camera, so we never hit those nasty curbs when we park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcurrent Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Do you really need a rear camera to backup a Mustang? Really? No, it is my 4th one and I have never backed into anything. But of all the Mustangs I have had, GT500 is the worst at backing up since it is the biggest and the spoiler gets in the way. A camera just seems like a nice thing to have. The government is probably going to make them mandatory anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrong1186 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I would love to have every option that was listed above...but if I had all that, I'd be driving a $100,000 mustang. Actually I wouldn't be driving it because I can't afford a $100,000. The truth is, for as nice as it would be to have memory seats, a front view camera (I don't want to smash my front bumper into a nasty parking barricade), launch control, a heads up display, and everything else listed above, these things all add value to the car...a value that translates into a higher price for the car.

OldSchool Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 My wish list would be: Must have - Better adjustable seats or a telescoping steering wheel - Painted rear axle, it is ridiculous that this carried through into the 2010's, not sure of the story on the 2011's. Nice have - Memory seats would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 2011's are painted and look exactly like this, some late 2010's had them painted but not with the finned aluminum cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meshoooo Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 like said .. rear camera, I dont know why its there in the GTs and not in ours ! memory seats and no stupid hood prop bar, better sound system the the stupid shaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebit0628 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Most of my wishes are on the expensive side, but I have a few small ones. Remove the exterior antenna. Better grills, maybe stainless mesh grills in the grill and hood. Painted rocker and rear diffuser. No top speed limiter. Better quality shade for glass roof. Battery in the trunk. Better speakers. No hood prop bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA32 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 To have the same options like the GT has rear camera, comfort package with heated seats, and power pass seat. I would also like them to fix the traction issue and put some bigger tires on it 295's at least in the back. Telescoping wheel like a fusion has and painted stripes would be nice too. The most important a DSG automatic a must, something a lowly Fiesta has. Also more color choices and stripe color choices on the Performanc Pack cars not ever one wants red stripes. I've bought every year GT500 since 2007 but I will be skipping 2012. To think that for an extra 1300 increase for a Performance Pack GT500 they add lighted vanity mirrors they can count me out this time around. I guess its time for something else maybe an AMG C-Class they have auto's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmason718 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 how about the shaker 1000 system with the electronics package? How does the shaker 500 and 1000 system sound?

windyracee Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I would like to see them put it on a diet, - battery in trunk -better traction bigger tires -more power like 640hp as base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDan Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I would like to see them put it on a diet, They already did for 2011. After I swapped out the heavy 60lb rollers for my Racestars it brought my curb weight down to 3,660lbs which is as light as a GT. I could pull the seats and easily be in 3,5xxlbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUIKSVT Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 A tranny that shifts 1-2 smoothly above 5k rpm's and a rear axle that doesn't whine would be nice. They need to fix current issues before adding anything else IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
