svt13 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 http://mustangsdaily...ts-in-monterey/ Cliff notes Their "upgrades" made it worse performance wise. Looks wise I actually really like it. It makes me wish I got candy red and did a SS stripe because the final product looks really good. To make it absolutely perfect I would have put chrome alcoas, cf rockers, and kept the dual tip exhaust. Other than that it looks real good. Actually on 2nd thought it may not even need cf rockers. But it definitely needs more color on the inside. Some white to match the stripes. I wish candy red looked like this shade all the time. If it did I would have gotten it in a heart beat. And apparently they have a shelby blue stripe now. I wonder what that looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Pants Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 How did the upgrades worsen performance? I didn't find that in the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt13 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 How did the upgrades worsen performance? I didn't find that in the article. They took out the electronic shocks. They removed the sway bars for the ford racing ones which are actually not better than the PP ones. They are inbetween the PP and base ones for 2013. Maybe the springs are better? The H/E is the same they been selling which is not better than the new one. They improved the rear brakes but now the front brake is using a 6 piston caliper with a 1 inch SMALLER rotor. (i'm going to ignore the side scoops and hood that limit aero dynamics because they look better than stock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afdharley Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If you read the specs again they give "credit" for cars with the electronic shocks. The standard car gets the upgrades you mentioned. That's how I understand that article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing is pretty sick looking though. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like you have 3 tiers of quality. Tier 3 is base. Tier 2 is ford racing. Tier 1 is bilsteins. Obivously if you have a performance goal plus electronic adjustability which is awesome you'd want tier 1. Why would you downgrade to tier 2? Especially when those bilsteins were custom made for that car. Ford racing is generic it can work on anything. Those bilsteins were specifically for this shelby.

Green Pants Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yea it looks really nice minus the wheels. Yea I agree on the wheels, but I think they would look much better in matte black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt13 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yea I agree on the wheels, but I think they would look much better in matte black. Maybe. They have 3 finishes for the wheels now apparently. Black is one. I think chrome is the other we have yet to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Removing the bilsteins is a downgrade how ever you put it, whether you get that money back. Read it again. The don't remove the Bilsteins. They give the buyer a credit (discount) because they don't remove the Bilsteins and add the FR3 Tokico's. And they say the wheels are offered in Black, Brushed or Mirror Polished (like the Alcoa's). Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
