blksn8k Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Sorry they do not Not sure why that is a laughing matter. Now that Ford is producing the Boss 302 with forged internals it seems fairly irresponsible to supercharge the 5.0L and not upgrade it to handle those kinds of power levels, especially at these price points. When is Shelby going to become more than just a bolt-on shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I think that that number has been modified due to how much effort each one of these cars takes to build and make it right. Im odd man out considering I dont really care if SA limits buids- I want everyone that wants one to have one. Even at 2000, the GT350 is going to be a very collectible build, but now, with the numbers so much less....you wont see many out there for sure. I know of two others in my area getting one, but thats probably the exception. I had also heard the striping wont be painted any longer, but we will have to wait for Roger to get back for everyone to get clarification. I took my 350 out for a drive last night, and it is just soooo much fun. Im up so early because I have another Shelby get together in a few hours for a fun little excursion. Your not that odd out Warren as I agree 100%. Produce as many Shelby's the market can take and keep SA health for a long time. With the Super Snake being the most produced Shelby, I NEVER see any on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Sorry they do not Little confused on why that would be hysterical to you If anyone wants Shelby to go into the internals of their engine all they have to do is contact the Shelby Speed Shop at 702-942-1719 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc scott Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Anyone know if the 624 hp version has any internal engine upgrades like pistons and rods? And your warranty is void. The base 5.0can handle it, just don't get stupid beyond that point! Doc Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT0225 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 And your warranty is void. The base 5.0can handle it, just don't get stupid beyond that point! Doc Scott I still like the blue car. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWEDEMAN Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've got go with this awesome blue one! But I still like to see the white w blue stripes It looks like there's three 2012 GT350s at Chicago... red / blue verts and white coupe. That ass end looks kind of like the New V Cadillac, elongated. Nice but it is still growing on me. I really like the Red vert...............on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the GT350 is a bit hit (phones ringing off the hook). With the low 2012 production numbers, I'm betting these will be sold out in no time. I wish I had the pockets to order a vista blue vert. Maybe next time. take care of yourself! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich How much horsepower can a 5.0 automatic transmission handle? I know the only way to have a 2012 GT350 with an automatic transmisson is without the supercharger. I read it some where.

I know the only way to have a 2012 GT350 with an automatic transmisson is without the supercharger. I read it some where. Currently there is no calibration for the automatic and the Ford Racing Supercharger. Just a naturally aspirated version with a calibration to 430 HP.

BIKEBOY Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 These cars are the pinnacle of Carroll's long history. As I trolled through this thread, I am reminded that we are witnessing history in the making once, twice, and thrice again! I want one of these cars sooooo bad....I just have no room. If I could sell my 500 to someone who appreciates it, like I do, I would still do a white / blue coupe. My wife is totally cool with it, which is usually the biggest issue. It's just that I am car rich right now, and the economy is car poor! I'd even be willing to wait for the year that it's said to take to get one. I'll keep trolling, and hoping........ edit- btw, I should mention here as well, the arse end on this car is the major draw for me liking this car as much as I do! I really don't care for the stocker rear-end. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here for a minute.......... I know a gentleman, (older retired) car dude that drives 'mellow', if you will. He's had his CTS-V in the shop for tranny problems SEVERAL times, and is on the verge of getting rid of it, as he is sick of it! Maybe SA is on to something???? Just sayin'...

SoCalSGT Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 When I bought my SGT automatic it was with the idea that I'd S/C it. Once I drove it, I decided against it...it was fun, powerful and since it was strictly a pleasure car I kept it just the way I found it. And I enjoyed it immensely. Now that I have the GT350 with the automatic, it is exponentially faster, quicker and more responsive. Even if they came out with a S/C and a tune as an add-on, I'd leave it alone. The car is just fine...but then again, it's a pleasure car - not a track car. Just my 2 cents. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
