A guy that works at the local Ford dealership here got one of the new Shelby Mustangs about a month ago and just did some light mods that gave him some pretty big numbers. He simply installed a new blower pulley and had a tune and ended-up with around 510 rwhp & 535 rwtq. Whew! !! I have to say, though, that the car itself soesn't look too hot. The car from the doors forward looks great and form the doors back looks terrible. I kinda' reminds me of going to the gym where you see those guys with huge and impressive uppper-bodies (front of the Shelby) with little chicken legs (the back of the Shelby). Also, the Cobra emblem on the side of the car is huge and way thick; doesn't really fit the car...... Still, these cars have some pretty mean motors.
I agree. Great motor. Just like the terminator 03/04 cars. If only it didn't weigh over 4,000 pounds with the driver and fuel.
Amazing that a car THAT heavy can run's in the low 12's stock. Geese! Just image if that car weighed anywhere near what the previous years coupes did? Now that would be kinda' cool.
Marcus, if I had your money, I'd burn mine! I think you should buy one. I'll make you a deal on an ulti-rare Budget Saleen (sister to the GT350H) with a 1 of 19 paint job... Even trade... (only b/c we're buddies...)
Who cares what another guy at the gym looks like? There are plenty of impressive ladies I would rather look at lol
They need to add some carbon fiber to the car. There really is no justifying a 4000lb sports car. Yeah you get 100 more horses than the 03/04, but it runs the same times.
add some more appropriate sized wheels tires out back (or all the way around it for that matter) and it will enhance the muscle appearance. My opinion .... There are a bunch of them sitting at dealerships here in St. Louis waiting for new owners who want to pay the $20K over.... seems the frenzy slowed already. Not saying they won't get it, just nobody seems to be in the rush they were to get one.
