crispy23c Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 What percentage of S-GT's got FACTORY Superchargers? Does anyone have any idea? I would love to see the performance specs on this (ie: 0-60, 1/4 mile, slalom). Also, for those of you who did get one, was the speed limiter raised? Just wondering... My guess would be around only 2%-3%..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Jaffy, my car just got there today. I'm going to there to see my car and have a sit down with Amy and John about many, many different things. I'm just doing a one day fly in thing. Besides your car, do you need anything while I'm there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides your car, do you need anything while I'm there? I need to know. I drove mine 500 miles this weekend. It is a spirited ride, but after driving my GT500 I feel like I have a HP shortage. Please post when you know. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 dbeson, Please clarify, you picked up your car at a Museum Delivery. Was that a stock Shelby GT or a supercharged Shelby GT? EDIT: I think I found the answer in the arrival forum, when you asked for an assesment on the supercharger. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I got one. I'll let you know what I find out when I go to SAI next week. Did you figure out (roughly) how many are getting S/Cs? Now my curiosity is piqued! :hyper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave c Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Did you figure out (roughly) how many are getting S/Cs? Now my curiosity is piqued! :hyper:First S/C car was delivered on April 27. Check out the story on Shelby forums. Great story. Don't know percentages for S/C, but would guess it would be under 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know percentages for S/C, but would guess it would be under 200. Dave...these are all Shelby Forums I did check the 'arrivals' section in the GT500 forums, but most are labeled 'It's here!' or "Finally got it!'. Any idea who got it or what the title is? I am really interested to read about this car! Can ya tell??? Thx, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Shelby Dude, I think it was said in the context the the Supercharger is added onto the car before it leaves the Shelby Factory. Ultimately it is an after market add on and not a Factory Option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John was nice enough to even give me documentation as to it being the first. I was shocked when he told me. I had no idea until I picked the car up. I have never been first at anything so it was kinda cool. Then to recieve documentation was extra special. There is a guy who got his done at Tasca, another very special thing. I have tried unsuccessfully to hook up with anyone in my area (san Francisco) with sgts to no avail. Maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I did hear from Bud that there will be about 12-14 Whipples on the initial 5600 +. Most are polished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milstang Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I did hear from Bud that there will be about 12-14 Whipples on the initial 5600 +. Most are polished. Mine is one of them. Again I know...I will get pictures once I see the car. I owe Crispy a lot of them I have been promising for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig-It Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 What percentage of S-GT's got FACTORY Superchargers? Does anyone have any idea? I would still like to find out if anyone knows the number of s/c's installed on the '07 and '08 GT's by SAI (Whipple and/or Paxton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoShelbyGT Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I would still like to find out if anyone knows the number of s/c's installed on the '07 and '08 GT's by SAI (Whipple and/or Paxton). When I did my pickup a little over 3 weeks ago, John was guessing about 50 SC cars total for 07, and Bud said he had done about 17 or 18 and had another 20 or so to go (so maybe 40 total?). (No clue on the number of Whipples vs Paxtons) I don't think that would count any cars that would be sent back in later to the Mod Shop, just cars that stayed and waited for SC's after the initial conversion to an SGT. John said that they would post numbers as soon as his IT guy could pull them out of the system after they were done. Disclaimer: John and Bud gave me those numbers off the tops of their heads so no fair busting anyone's chops if those numbers are way off!!!
