Too slow for the weight. Nice cougar magnet however.

They only weigh 3500 lbs. You bring nothing to these forums.

Yea, they don't make the Shelby in Red. Only white and black. In regards to insurance, it actually went down with this car, go figure. Oh and to the guy about weight, yes, it is surprisingly 3500lbs which is not bad at all. The Shelby package includes upgraded suspension among other things so it handles really well. Now i'm not saying i'll be keeping up with my buddies EVO thru the canyons but ya know.

Don't forget that you're 27 and I'm 22. I would have been raped with insurance .

I guess only the GT500 comes in the red/white.

Not even the 60's?

jonathan110987

it comes in a few colors... white with blue... blue with white. black. also the convertible is solid with no stripes

I really didnt like them back then. I can respect the power they put down for their time, but just dont dig the styling. (I am sure for the time I would have liked them, but living today looking back, I dont like them at all).

Nice congrats !
I had 3 of these babies on the lot about amonth ago.. i was thinking about trading my R.S. 3.0 for one of them as i was able to get one REALLY below MSRP... but decided to keep the TC and boost it...

I'm waiting to see the new Camaro SS.

3500 is heavy for stock HP. For the 10g difference a stock GT can have the "Shelby" extras minus the stickers for 2-3gs through Ford parts division. One would still have tons of cash left over for a procharger kit and diablosport tune and that setup would absolutely murder a Shelby GT with a mean hp/weight ratio. Nothing against mustangs, just that I feel ford dropped the ball and for the money spent on the shelby badge you are getting a cougar magnet rather than a performance variant.

For a more useful contribution: at 8 PSI your 57 trim .84 is going to be laggy and horribly inefficient especially when using a manual boost controller. Send the 57 back, get a 50 with a proper electronic boost controller and you'll have a hell of a lot more fun.

and yes 3500 is a bit of weight.....

Only 60's 'Stang I liked was the notchback. The fastbacks look kinda goofy.



But, rather have an '69 SS Camaro than any 'Stang anyways.



Best yet though, screw domestic, give me an early Celica.

first gen celie's and early 70's rolla's r sexy MMMM

wait to go, how original calling mustangs a rustang or shetstang. What can you possibly now about mustangs when you drive an XB. I owned 2 tCs prior to owning the mach and this car with almost 50k miles still feels 10x better than the tCs felt as far as comfort, suspension, power and any other catagory you might have in mind. So do everyone a favor, if you don't have anything positive to say to the OP on his new ride then don't say nothing.

jsingh

that's a one sick car....i love mustangs!!!

hotbox05

nah I voice my opinion as freely as you voice yours.



and just cause someone owns an xB their opinions on "fast" cars means nothing?


I can almost guarrantee you i've driven many cars that were faster , cooler , rarer than almost any attainable mustang.

and i agree on the tc thing they're overweight , cheap to attain cars with virtually no soul. it's an economy car. a fwd economy car , with bland styling that blends in with the pack.

I have only driven a few mustangs , a shelby , a gt , a few old fox bodies , and one 70 boss.


I'd still take a 69 maro over an old stang.


and yeah a fox body can be fast and the new mustangs are decently priced for the power you get , does that make them great cars? no.

good cars? in general no , in some peoples un educated opinions yes.

we are arguing opinions.

I've owned 8 cars now , have driven every brand new toyota , dodge , chrysler , jeep , and subaru made in the last 4 years from my job , and have been a car guy since i was a child and helped in a motor rebuild on my parents old pos dodge aries k car.

buts it's cool your OPINIONS trump mine , as well as any facts on paper and or COMMON sense things.


don't compare apples to oranges.

Mightygnu

yay jarod! now we both have different cars..

jrodTc

yessir! Whipple supercharger here I come! 600 RWHP here i come :D

1tc4u2nv

ok, I respect your opinion but don't come on this guy's thread to bash Ford because you wouldn't like someone going into a thread, where you are showing off your new ride, and begins to bash it. I hope you understand, its about being polite, people post their rides here to hear positive comments not the comments you're making.

And BTW when I say something I always try to back it up with facts not word of mouth from haters, that kind of stupidity gets old after a while....one link shows Ward's top tan engines of 2007 and the second gives some info on the 4.6l engine(READ 9TH AND 10TH PARAGRAPH)
