Don Johnston Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I am not sure how many Shelby 1000 Mustangs have been completed to date, but it would be nice to hear from owners WHO ACTUALLY DRIVE THEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT0128 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Last time I was at SA I saw them driving one around then at the mod shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJN Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I keep searching YouTube for new videos. Like to see some driving vids or something like to get a idea of the raw power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Last one I saw was at Team Shelby Northeast Rocktoberfest...and 'yes', it was driven to/from the show. Not a trailer queen by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperNC Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'd love to drive one! So the 2013 - 2014 cars are 200+ mph.... I don't think I ever caught the performance numbers for the 1000. Anyone got some hard numbers to share? I'd also be curious if there is a full comparison between the normal 2014 GT500 and the 1000. Wonder how the wider stance in the rear handles in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super hiss Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I think they want to conserve and collect them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Although we don't have one on display at the Los Angeles International Car Show several people attending the show have asked about it so there is a strong following for such a exclusive Shelby. One person even claimed to own one. The Shelby 1000......... when 850hp just isn't enough Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denstang65 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 If I was rich, screw preserving it. I would try real hard to provide numbers. Like we all heard and felt sorrow from Paul Walker and his friends unfortunate accident, life is to short. I would live life to the fullest and drive that 1000!

MJN Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 That awesome pic, I probably will never see one in my area lol. They should be out on the road like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm lucky enough to see a GT500 around once in a while, I can't imagine seeing a 1000 just sitting at a stop light. The car is incredible, over the top, and that's why we all like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have been looking for some actual stats for the 1000 street and track models: dyno run HP and ft.-lb. torque, 0-60 mph time 1/4 mile time top speed. Any players out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 I don't have any observations of a 1000, but Ive seen MANY 2013+ GT500s of ranging HP. I would be shocked if it didnt do- 0-60 in under 3.0 flat 1/4 mile in low 9.0s Top speed HAS to be 215+ because a 1000 HP GT500 has done the Texas Mile at 204 mph.

Chad, close, but the pic was en Route to the CaddyShack party when we were in Palm Springs! lol Belongs to Tim and Tonya, awesome people. I actually ran into them at a gas station in California when I was on my way to Palm Springs. I'm like WTF, here comes a Shelby 1000:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 That's awesome. They are VERY special builds, but builds that are definitely for someone with just all the money they would ever want. If im spending that kind f money on a car, its going to be a different class of car than a mustang. I honestly would rather have a GT500 AND a Daytona Coupe done right by SA before doing that.

svttim Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 After last years bash, I cant agree with you Warren. And, I doubt Griggs can do much if anything that hasn't been done with the car. On track with Gary in a friends car. Granted, I was being careful but, Gary spanked me like a Red headed step child in a 1000.The car is EXTREEMLY capable and Not just because of the power. That being said, I don't have the resources for any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKR664 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Was lucky enough to sit in the black one at last years NY autoshow. What a car. Everything about it is excessive! At least I can say I sat in one. I don 't think the odds are there to see one on a public road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1000HAWK Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I just got my S1000 after waiting over a year. I just took delivery a week ago, it's being delivered now to MD. I'm going to enjoy the car, so I'll post pictures & videos as soon as the weather lets me. This is a radical car. Something everyone needs to see I person to appreciate it!

S1000HAWK Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks man! I can't wait to drive it. Right now we have about a foot of snow, so when it gets here- straight to the garage. You a have sweet ride yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1000HAWK Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I got to drive it out @ Shelby American. It has the full wide body. It amazing how well it hooks. It's basically like having a mini tube. It's a very cool option for the high horse power cars. The tuner told me w/ out the wide body, we would have been all over the road. I own a GT350 too, not even comparable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
