New Shelby GT 500's

[Mike Ellis]

I got to read about the new Mustang in a car magazine at the doc's office the other day. Hmmm 500 hp, plenty of torque, not a bad looking sled in that white / blue stripe trim. So are any of you boys gonna be driving one? Are they actually available, or will there be a very few built and years-long waiting list?



And in the meantime DC,



Where the heck is my hemi Challenger?

yeah, plenty of torque for sure. doesn't stall when you drop the clutch in 1st.

I know! I can't wait to see the Challengers!!! Oo.

My truck payments will be done by the time the challenger comes out... ... ... .



If there is an SRT-8 6 speed as I've read... ... ohh yes I will have one

Thats one sweet ride, who would have ever thought they would be so much better than the old ones. I had a 68 GT500, wished I still had it but the new one is more safe, gets better mpg and has better performance.

Funny how ford always needed a super charger to get the power of what chevy of dodge gassers could put out?

 

[JMetzger]

You talk about the GT 500 with 500 HP, what about the new Dodge Viper - 600 HP.

657 hp (stock), single 4v and no charger-#ad

 

[JasonCzerak]

The viper is up to 600hp eh? bout time. The viper should be at 750-800hp N/A. . Then again, that much power for a production car wouldn't fly well with insurance. .



1HP per CI is the rule in gasser land right?



SVT F150,



2004 cobra,



GT



07 shelby.



Apparently the PSD needs 2 turbos' to do the work.



The old 7. 3's needs to be just HUGE to compete



That's all I can come up with at 4:30am



It's just funky how every recent production ford needed some help vs. the competition within the class.



Matt400, what car is that motor in?

An older Thunderbird but obviously not the original motor.

Whats that thing cost?

 

[Dl5treez]

For the money a new Shelby GT500 costs, I'd be much happier with a Roush stage 2. Since the Stage 3 is a low production, high cost car, I figure buying a (relatively) cheaper Stage 2 and installing the supercharger kit myself will net me the same car as a Stage 3, minus the low production glamour that costs another 15,000 bucks.



The new Mustangs are nice cars.

I'd still rather have a C6 Z06 if I had to go american.

 

[CochranD]

My buddies new zo6 electrics are pretty glitchy, but still real cool ride.

The Rust-tang might be the only product I`d still buy from Ford.

 

[HEMI®Dart]

Not a ford fan here either. I know they are closer to MOPAR than GM is. I dunno.

I don't know if anyone remembers in the '60's Hertz came out with a Shelby you could rent from them. Well they brought them back for '07 with a Shelby 350 H, black with gold stripes, just like in the '60's. They're supposed to be available at major Hertz rental locations.

They are available. I seen them on my last trip to North Carolina. $300/day to rent tho.
