1 BAD SNAKE Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I got a 07 with close to 97,000 and I was wondering how many high mileage Shelby's are out there. What are your mods and do you have any problems. Also with me fixing to start modding the car what should I look out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austenrillo Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hey! I have a 2007 shelby with just about 62,000 miles on it (i dont know if thats considered high milage, but for me it is) but i have Pulley, CAI, Tune, O/R Xpipe, mufflers, lowered, rims tires and ive really and no major issues as of yet exept the radiator went a couple thousand miles ago.

2007tungstenGT500 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) you should upgrade the harmonic balancer if it hasn't already been done. i would run some fuel injection cleaner and clean the throttle body and intake system as much as possible and install an oil separator (cheap) along with a new air filter. i think it would also be about time to change those spark plugs too. i'd also upgrade the heat exchanger and flush and drain the radiator. anything to keep the engine running cool and burning cleanly will help it perform better and last longer. lastly, these engines are known for heat soaking with hard driving so that's why i recommend the cooling mods.

Justin00Stang Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I don't think you have much to worry about, except the clutch, which can be an issue at any mileage. Consider it a wear item in a high-perf car. As others said basic tuneup before modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
