vistablueGT500 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Im surprised. After rolling it around a little i think i do like the side stripe idea. I think option two is too crowded, so i went with 3. Ill just be happy to know all the info. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APPLESREDGT500 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 So I guess this means they are NOT entertaining the idea that the difference between the 600hp and 725hp will be on anything like incorperating it with the badge? So besides the extra hp and paying more the two Super Snakes will look the same, nothing to denote differences other than under the hood? Hmmmmm..........I don't like that they are not looking at having even a subtile difference between the two. The badge would be the best place I think. I DON'T LIKE MY VOTING CHOICES . I feel that I am being herded. What about the guy that pays for the 725 and the 600 looks identical to it, he has what looks to be the same car, yes I know until you hit the pedal. But if there is a substancial price hop to the 725 vs the 600 on would think he should at least get something a little different, agree?? Don't get me wrong I like the idea of the GT500 staying on the side with Supersnake next to it, or I even like Supersnake next to the badge, but add either 600 or 725 next to the Cobra too, not too flashy, but there. Nice to see they are even entertaining our ideas, the more the better, helps to see the big picture. :burnout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyguy Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I like the idea of "GT500 SUPER SNAKE" striping on the rocker panel as opposed to just "SUPER SNAKE" that shows in the rendering pictures of the car, but I would have to see several samples before I would choose one. I think your rocker panel striping picture of "Super Snake" has too small of a font. The blue and black colors would not work with all color versions of the GT500 either.

APPLESREDGT500 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 This is not too great, but anyone get the idea? You can even add the 40th and the date for that package, I'm sure with practice I can get it right, but someone with more exp on this would be faster, anyone??? I know crispy is better at this.

ColdwaterHotrod Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ok, quit getting all shaken up about this. The HP designation on the Cobras emblems wasn't even talked about & maybe they could add it, but IMO I wouldn't put it on any of the emblems, why let the guy next to you know what you got? Plus what other new cars on the road have the HP rating on the side of the car? Sorry I don't have any other photos of Option #2 but it's something like this ..... ...........| C | SHELBY| O |SUPER GT500 | B |SNAKE ...........| R | ...........| A | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotRodHarry Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Option 3 for the emblem....option 1 is close for the side stripe..but just needs to be different. I will have to think about this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to think about this one Ditto! But as to the HP difference...we could have the 600 or 725 incorporated into the Shelby lettering across the trunk so that when someone you to run, and after you showing them the rear end they will know if the 600 or 725 just dusted them :rolleyes: Really looking forward to all of this :banana piano: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdwaterHotrod Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I see a problem with the side stripe option. I just looked real good at my car & that lettering won't fit unless it's tiny. they may need to look at another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I still think they should leave the current GT500 section alone, and add Super Snake to the center stripe on the door myself. This is the most clean way to do it. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Did someone say Crispy Super Snak? Sounds like I have a 'chip' on my shoulder! Sorry I have not been around too much lately-- very,very,very, very busy! I liked #1 and #3....I wouldn't even mind-- if they did not have the room on the rocker-- to leave it 'GT500', use the SS badges, and use the triple SS stripes over the hood, roof, & trunk. Those are historic. Priceless, IMO. AND they denote that it's an SS! That would denote enough, IMO. As far as the HP rating, I don't want anyone knowing the difference. Too overboard & 'look what I got' type of thing.....the doc's of ownership will indicate what package I got, I assume, and that would be enough for me. Of course, that's just :devil: me....

KingCobra Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I agree Crispy!!! I wouldn't mind just leaving the rocker stripes alone, and just having the Shelby Super Snake added to the Cobras on the front grille and side front fenders. KingCobra.

Crispy , I think you are in the minority with regards to the three over the top stripes ,most don't like them and perfer to keep the two traditional Lemans stripes. Maybe we should have a new poll for that also....? I agree with you about the side stripes remaining as is or choice #1.....badging , wheels, hood,and side scoops are enough without the top stripe change.

supersnake1 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I think option 3 is best it looks cleaner and is more generic for all the Super Snake combinations available...i.e. GT500, GT500KR, 620, 725HP, etc. The side stripe could be GT620, GT620KR, GT725, GT725KR. The GT along the side is classic Shelby and should remain otherwise the car begins to take on the appearance of a tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpireStateGT500 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I would like to leave the original rocker panel stripes alone, add the Shelby Super Snake to the cobra badge and change the over the top stripe to the traditional Super Snake triple stripe to denote the difference between the GT500 and the GT500 Super Snake.

Think about it...why are you buying the 700 + HP?Answer: for the power period. Also, remeber this is a modded GT-500, not 600, not 700, not 800. To keep it historical you want GT-500.

I know you like the duel stripes, but all the shelby's have them and so do the KR, we want to keep all the branding authentic and correct. So not doing the stripes is really not an option. We have changed the side stripes. We will have final art with final pricing very shortly and the SS will be at Tulsa Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
