Cobra Boy Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Whew. think I need a cold shower after that. That's a great color combo. If they would have offered that in the 07's, that's what I would have went for. I love silver. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmach1 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I already warned the wife that when SI puts a price tag on this hood, I'm buying! The signature head rest are also sweet.

svtkeith Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Same here I love that hood, but light blue stripes no way, black on silver yes vista blue on silver yes. JMO If they put that hood on the market I'll be getting one, but I doubt they will. Nice pics Elite...... I like your signal lights bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500KR Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 but I doubt they will. If they don't, I'll blame you and have to take that playboy cover of yours and add some real ugly girls to that gorgeous group of yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmpireStateGT500 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 This weekend the Jacob Javits Center in New York City was jammed. The photos taken from the show are not very professional looking. They may not even be good amatuer photos but if you can overlook the composition errors of the photos and concentrate on the content I think you will be impressed. A few observations about the new Shelby GT500KR: There are a couple of distinguishing characteristics of the '08 GT500KR that set it apart from the '07 GT500. There is the awesome hood of the GT500KR. It is a blend of styling cues from the original and the '07 GT500. New hood scoop inlets are pushed far forward reminding you of the view in your rear view mirror of a fast approaching '68. Likewise with the "Shelby" badge that is spelled out and centered along the front lip of the hood as well as the hold downs from the original. The '07 GT500 air extractors are pushed to the back of the hood in this version. But the overall domed shape of the hood looks like it remained intact from the '07 GT500. The other distinguishing characteristic is the enormous 20 inch chrome wheels and the slightly lower profile 255/35 ZR Pirelli's. This new tire and wheel comibination and the lower stance of the KR is very appealing. The rest of the badging is tasteful and not overdone and the colors of the car at the show, silver with blue over the top stripes, were really accentuated by the lighting at the show as you will see in the photos and looked fantastic. Here they are from last night at the New York International Auto Show. Please enjoy. I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping__Chronic Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Rims - way too big and chrome Stripes - looks like painting tape color, not very flattering imo. Other than that looks good, like the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Very nice- I love it! Thanks for the pics. I hope that at least some of these cars make it to the street and we get to see how they really run. :burnout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildosvt Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Rims - way too big and chrome Stripes - looks like painting tape color, not very flattering imo. Other than that looks good, like the hood. They will be toned down, They will be 18" in production trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpracer43 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I really love the "ride height" on this car... Looks amazing in that stance. May need to lower my Red Coupe as well. The Hood is also pretty awesome. Can't wait to see what the final product looks like later this summer! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
