    Considering a Shelby... couple questions first

    What mods? There must be something you don't like about the car... I just want to know what to look out for. Thanks!

    Saw my first Shelby 500 KR in the wild

    I'm sorry my friend, but you don't own a Supercar. Try again. The Z06 isn't even a supercar... it's referred to as Chevy's "supercar killer" because it destroys cars twice its price. But if you were joking, I dig it. Spread the love :-)

    Considering a Shelby... couple questions first

    I'm considering buying a Shelby, and I wanted to know what everyone thinks the worst things about the car are. Also, from short reading at KB, the only supporting mod needed for a 2.8L is driveshaft. Can I really keep bone stock engine, clutch, and tranny and just throw on driveshaft, drag...

    Thanks, you've been a big help. I guess I'll stick to my plans for building off a stock 00-04 GT. I think I'll tone it down a bit to 9psi instead of 11, and save some money on the BOOST-A-SPARK, as well as holding off on forged rotating assembly or shortblock unless I blow something. Again, I...

    I've got another question... Can I drop a 96 Cobra engine/tranny into an 00-04 GT without too much trouble? Can I do it to a 00-04 V6 even ??? Is that a bad idea? Thanks!

    Ahh, I found this on Evo forums: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJiGGLF44TM I guess my Evo will be very similar to the Mustang if I build it! That's the same turbo I've got.... $1000 turbo, plus $600 exhaust, $250 injectors, $100 fuel pump, $50 filter, and a free custom tune using free...

    OK, cool. So would something like this be acceptable if I was to rebuild myself? Adding another $4G for a shortblock kind of turns me off about the project...

    Damn, really? I guess I'm spoiled from the Mitsubishi world where the stock 4G63 block can make 500whp :shrug: I don't even own the car yet, so if I find one, I could always have the engine rebuilt w/ forged internals. I didn't think KB recommended headers or underdrive pulley... they...

    OK, so I've owned imports previously... a 2003 Jetta 1.8T mostly stock and currently a 400whp 2006 Mitsubishi Evo. I'm keeping the Evo, as it absolutely rocks as an all around daily driver as well as track car... but muscle fever seems to be kicking in. I've got 2 friends with LS1 Z28 Camaros...
