07 Shelby GT.... - Page 2

Just some fun facts..

The 4.6 liter, 319 hp Ford Shelby GT slots between the 300 hp Mustang GT and the 500 hp Ford Shelby GT500. It is essentially a retail sale version of the Hertz rental-only Ford Shelby GT-H, except a manual transmission is available. Other differences include the deletion of the rear spoiler, a retro hood scoop in place of the CS6/8 Shelby hood, and silver versus the gold stripes, with the car available in either white or black.

Things are standard GT fare inside, with a little Shelby jewelry added. All interiors will be black, and Shelby mods consist of machined-aluminum sill plate badges, Shelby GT floormats, and an aluminum number plate on the I.P. that proclaims the car to be officially produced by Shelby Automobiles and its Shelby serial number.

The Shelby GT500 pwns this car, (not the Shelby GT Cobra Mustang) as the most powerful factory-built Mustang in history (stock 450-500BHP), more powerful than the 1969 Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet or even the legendary 1969 Boss 429.

PS - I don't really care for mustangs at all, I just have a really close friend who owns a GT so I get to hear alot about them. (most info above was derived from Motor Trend & Ford.com)

Oh and M3's are the shiz!

actually its more then just a GT. although it does share somethings with the stock GT. its not just pretty GT. it does come with opitions that the stock GT doesn't. Most of all its a Shelby built car.

yes its not a GT500. but i never said it was. (its actually more like a GT300 and/or Cobra Mustang equivalent)

Although I would probably take a M3 over a Ford anyday. You still have to give credit where its due. the Shelby GT isn't just a mustang GT.

w/e u people, and I thought posting this in the Gallery will yield photography responses.

oh well. don't u worry, there'll be more Shelby GT photoshoots (already have locations planned out just waiting for the prefect weather)

Who cares what they think - it's a beautiful car. The buyers of that car are not comparing them to M3's or Legend. They bought them because they wanted a Mustang. Do we have to compare every car built to a Legend?

Beautiful pics by the way. I do prefer it in black thought, but it is really a pretty car - way better looking then the previous version.

thanx! i hate white cars. although its better then the white with bronze stripes.

AustinForester · 09-25-07, 04:51 PM

nice pics alex, and i agree with Qboro, why does every thread with pictures of another car, someone has to come along and try to compare it to other cars.

Drew, im sorry, but why must you constintley shit on the legend? im sure there are plenty of beemer forums that would welcome a young legend hater like yourself.

a car is a car people, this is a nice peice of american design. The new mustang model is one of the greatest since the 60s-70s era, i hated every mustangs looks until they released the new one.

anyways, keep up the photography Alex!

Exactly, although I have to disagree with the last sentence a bit

. Call me silly, but I actually liked that small 5.0 model. I know, I know, but my man Spencer for Hire had one (he eventually traded it for a broke down 69')

I mean damn! Yes we are all biased legend owners, but please give credit where its due. Would I ever buy a mustang or a ford for that matter, NO! I dont even really like American cars but it does look nice. Al was just showing photography of a nice looking car, not debating the power of it or if its superior to a legend, bmw, or the shelby 500gt model. JUST SOME PICS! Why cant a thread ever stay on track around here.

BumbleBee83 · 09-25-07, 06:34 PM

Well said, I thought its just messed up ppl always have sumthing negative to say, Drew came and called the shelby ugly, and anyone with any eyesight can see, its a fucking beautiful example of a mustang. I didnt see the need for the thread shit so i pointed out that the shelby looks a whole lot better than his m3. He then proceeded to call the legend a "shitbox", if he feels so then why is he here? I really dont get it....

On another note, why is there so much fighting, hating and critisizing in this forum? Me and mike talk about this constantly, and really dont see the need for it. Too many times, someone starts a thread and the first response is negative. It really creates a bad atmosphere, and i have even found myself falling into it sumtimes. Anyone agree?

They have M3's that will murder drews. M3's are definatly faster than a Legend, but thats about it. Everything else the Legend is on top (my opinion) and id rather have a car without the constant mechanical headaches and ridiculously overpriced parts.

I love uneducated car owners. The PO of my E36 replaced the entire cooling system a few months back, you don't even want to know how inexpensive it was compared to the same job on a Legend. And constant mechanical headaches? Not in a top-notch M3, I've only seen those kind of issues in the uber ragged out ones, aka, not either of mine.

I also don't recall ever saying that either of my M3's are fast. So I'm not exactly sure where the whole "faster M3 than mine" thing comes in, but

whatever.

BTW, I only called your Legend a shitbox, not anyone else's. All I said was my opinion on the new Mustang's, I'm not dogging their performance at all or Alex's pics.

Some of y'all are too damn much
