Joe Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 We have Crispy's cool video, but what did the assembled masses think of the info contained in the article? I'll hold my comments until I hear a few other's input. I got the mag yesterday in the mail. Piece is OK, but they should point out they did not test a production vehicle. As pointed out on the Shelby Forum, their car is a prototype. No dash plate, lack of black lower fascia on grill, wrong floor mats, etc. Production numbers wrong as well. We'll just have to wait on a real test of a real Shelby GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has never been one of my favs re: car mags, but any info on the Shelbys is interesting to me. Anybody else?!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test numbers and driving preceptions should be the same as a production car unless SAI fudged something into this car for the magazines.

amyb Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi All, the article was done on the concept car, all performance parts were correct. Floor mats were different and we painted the lower fascia because we thought the rpoduction units would come that way. All the rest of the car is correct and viable. The numbers were correct as well. We didn't put the dash plate on as a day or two earlier it was on a shoot and soomeone tried to steal it. So, this article and the numbers are all good Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diablo72887 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I’m confused the Motor Trend article states that 10,000 will be built. It’s been stated many times that only 6,000 will be made in 2007. Amy just stated that all numbers in the Motor Trend article are fact, so which is it 6,000 or 10,000?

SVTF#4327 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 The article was incorrect in stating that the SGT interior is only available in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 ........I think Amy was refering to the performance numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyb Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 ........I think Amy was refering to the performance numbers. yes, thank you, I was referring to performance numbers. The car had only 2 differences from production, the mats were wrong and the front fascia was painted, as we thought at the time we were doing that. The badges are there now they were removed because we had an attempted theft. All performance mods, wheels, etc, at same as production Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
