Orion Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) The hood scoop looks like a SGT. Anyone in SoCal missing their Shelby? Edited November 7, 2017 by Orion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSSHELBYKID Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 makes me so mad. Feel sorry for the owner of the SGT. Hope that there is not too much damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pockdog Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Article here... http://abc7.com/suspect-surrenders-after-high-speed-chase-in-la-county/2611861/ "The driver traveled at speeds of over 100 mph in the blue Ford Mustang, possibly a Shelby model, on the southbound 5 Freeway." Hopefully there was not much damage to the car. - Pockdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Yup. A 2007 SGT... It said the Mustang was blue,wouldn't that make it a 2008 SGT?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 It said the Mustang was blue,wouldn't that make it a 2008 SGT?. At one point in the video the car did appear to be a dark metallic blue, but too dark of a blue to be the 2008 Vista Blue. Also there was no satellite antenna on the trunk lid nor chrome wheels like the 2008 SGT's have. So its most likely a black 2007 SGT or an extremely well done clone. The car did have a trunk lid spoiler but that is something many SGT owners have added to their car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfield2a Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Looks like HID light color (white) though on the road...which would put it at an '08 or '09. Has the GT500 Spoiler. Edited November 8, 2017 by mfield2a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Difficult to tell black or vista blue but I'm pretty sure it had the Powered by Ford fender badges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 And tonight we have a stolen Ford Taurus (possible an SVO) in a chase in pretty much the same area. Please let everyone know they need to secure their cars a lot better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKurgan Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Looks like the Taurus overheated. I have to say it was quite comical the guy getting out of the car in baggy pants/straight bill and vaping. Idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was an 08 SGT it would have had the satellite antenna on the trunk lid and chrome wheels. This car has no satellite antenna and has black wheels. I suspect someone has played with the headlights as the light pattern is all wonky on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAI-Steven Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 My 2008 does not have a satellite antenna on the trunk lid? Good to know. For some reason I thought all SGT's for the 2008 model year had the satellite radio option. UPDATE: out of the approx 2200 SGT's for the 2008 model year, approx 1500 had the satellite option.

Orion Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I also don't have the satellite antenna on my 2008. Were those installed at Shelby? I thought all the rental GT-H's had them... Edited November 9, 2017 by Orion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Sirius was an option.....even in ‘08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all the rental GT-H's had them... No it was a Ford option. For some reason I was thinking that by 2008 Ford was equipping all their Mustang stereos with the satellite feature along with a 6 month "free" subscription so that owners would sign up for the service. Kind of like GM was doing with their on-star service, put it on every car, give a couple months of "free" service then once the owners are used to it hit em up with a subscription. Obviously I was incorrect on my assumption. It appears just to be a popular option with 70% of the 2008 SGT's having the option. Sirius was an option.....even in ‘08. Looks like it was still an option in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I had to think about it.....my ‘08 Gurney Eagle doesn’t have it. I had to look at pics, the car is in Az now and I’m in Calf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
