1sgt Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I was at SHELBY these weekend and I saw a 2014 HERTZ mustang . I didn't like the yellow racing stripe it didn't do much for the car . I think the yellow was to much . Go back to gold . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007tungstenGT500 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 i saw one at the hertz dealer in california a couple of weeks ago. it was a 5.0 with a yellow stripe, but it was offset to one side and it didn't mention anything about shelby. it said "penske hertz" or something like that if i remember correctly? had ford racing rims and not much else that i could see. does it have anything to do with shelby?

JeffJ Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Here's an older thread about it. There's actually a few threads out there. No, it has nothing to do with Shelby. This is part of the deal with Penske's relationship to Hertz now with their sponsoring of Nascar, etc. Funny, the cars were assembled by Roush with the modifications. http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/81668-the-next-hertz-mustang/?hl=penske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITHERTZ66 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hoping to piggy back off the charm and value of the Hertz Shelby. Problem is that nobody cares about a rental car that isn't the famed Hertz Shelby. The way people have been trying to predict "future collectibility" over the past 20 years with new vehicles has been very interesting and very frustrating for the opportunists...

2007tungstenGT500 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 yeah, my first thought on seeing a penske hertz mustang was "knock off". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 A friend of mine who hauls cars just called me and told me about these 7 Hertz/Penske Mustangs he just delievered to Denver International Airport Hertz location. He had not heard about them yet. Denver was not supposed to be one of the locations to get them, but these cars had some sort of issue where San Fran could not take them, so Denver did. Sounds like the tune may have not been 50 state compliant or something where they could not get them to CA. I might have to use some of my Hertz miles and take one out for a weekend to see if I like it. May be another future car I need! I don't know?

Don Johnston Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Be sure to check the mileage limitations on the Prestige rentals at Hertz. There usually an extra charge that adds up quickly if you want to take the rental out to enjoy on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I glossed over the build specs but I was under the impression that there was no HP increase on these Penske cars so if correct I wouldn't think it has anything to do with CARB compliance.

Steve Well looks like I did gloss over the build specs as the Hertz website lists a revise air intake & tune. http://www.hertz.com/rentacar/misc/index.jsp?targetPage=penske_ford_mustang_gt.jsp The Hertz website also shows that these cars are available for rent in Los Angeles & San Francisco so that rules out CARB problems. My guess is that there are few takers at the advertised rental price so Hertz is adding additional locations. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 These Penske "things" are just awful. Sorry, the jerky guy and his reputation precedes him. They can't even paint a straight racing stripe, give me a break, junk! What a ripoff of the original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2007tungstenGT500 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 the one i saw was in san francisco, so i can confirm it's not an emissions issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
