07SGT Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Another way to look at this is the Shelby GT is a throwback to the ORIGINAL GT 350, when Ford shipped the cars to Shelby in Los Angeles and Mustang GT's were converted in to GT 350's. And if you follow history Ford eventually took over production in 1968 of the Shelby Mustang and made a much lesser Shelby. There is nothing like an original Shelby. It's the Shelby mystique. It's not just lettering on the trunk, it's the DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping it real! Ah, regional director vs. regional director action! Lets toss in some "real" Shelby smack talk as a topping. I believe we are overdue for our TS monthly SGT vs. GT500 thread. But for those newbies, lets recap: 07-08 SGT - floppy scoop, spotted stripe, misaligned, underpowered bastard 07-09 GT500 - tranny busting, heat soaking, wallowing, nose heavy bastard I limit myself to just those models as that is where it all started. But I am with Tim on this: it is funny every time. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denstang65 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think it all comes down to the driver. 500 HP+ means nothing if a driver cannot drive it, and 400 HP+ can get around the track with a kick ass driver. Guys, why argue? You both have awsome cars, just built differently. It is a Shelby, no matter if it is from Ford or converted at SAI. You both have the very best of the Mustang brand, a Shelby. Hell, I am so proud of my car and it is not even a real Shelby! TS is suppose to be like a family, so little and big brother needs to stop talking like one is better than the other. You both are bonded by a special blood tie, SHELBY. Take it from the adopted red headed stepchild, a 65' clone owner in the TS family. You both have Shelby and a common intrest! We need to go out there and stomp on the compitition, not on each other. I would love to own either one of your cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoggiebhr Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I don't think there are any mean feelings in any of these comments. I really do think that we all love and appreciate our mustangs (well....maybe not Bosses....joking) We all have fun with this argument. All I know is that I had someone I was meeting in traffic this morning rolled their window down and waved thumbs up at me. People might not know exactly what a SGT is, but most realize its something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FILF Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well the Northeast region seems to be where all the big celebrations take place. You know the NY Autoshow debuting the Shelby 1000, 50th celebration at Carlisle last year, first inagural Shelby grand nationals? I guess whenever a big event is needed with the most loyal owners to come together they look to the Northeast region! On a side note, this thread ran off the tracks real quick!!!

Denstang65 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Sorry about preaching to all of you. I think you all are a to see go back and forth. " Thats entertainment ! " From what I know, the first few origional GT 350's were built in Venice before they ran out of room and headed to L.A.X. The early Mustangs were built in Michigan and San Jose, then shipped to be Shelbyized. 68-69 and carryover 69's/70's were built in Ford plants and yes, were still called Shelby GT 350/GT500. Keep up the good work and friendship Shelby and Ford ! Just wanted to add that I feel that if a registry is made to keep tabs of ownership of a Shelby, well I think that qualifies it as a real shelby, regardless of where it was built. Heck, if Mr. shelby was still alive and saw my clone that I am building, and signed off my car with an MSN #, I would consider it a real Shelby.
