wow that kr really sucks *** lol.
i have a few of the basic boltons and i run what that kr does except for a little lower trap.
if i found some traction on the street i think i could stay close to it.

Haha I like how the narrator is like "a Ford Racing FILTER!"

Made me shake in my little booties.

Why would Ford seriously even bother including rear seats in a car like that? You're a douche if you buy a KR and bother having people in the backseat.

But for the record, that SC sounded absolutely sick

The Shelby's are to heavy to run with the Z06.

Ford has an awesome racing program....

I saw maybe 5 KRs while i was in Detroit. They look good and had a very nice exhaust note, thats about it. 80k+ for a mustang is ridiculous and the Shelby name is now tarnished because of the KR. The original Shelby cars were light weight, had an awesome suspension, carried a big cube motor under the hood, and most importantly they were competitive on the track. The KR lacks in all areas.

Dear Carrol Shelby,

I am sorry that Ford bent you over and destroyed your name and legacy. Heres an ice pack for your ***.

Kinda sad when the base Vette, maybe even without the Z51 package, would hand the KR its butt.

so what it all boils down to is the KR is a P.O.S. my ls1 is faster on motor and they have had 6 years to study and do research since my car was produced and they can only post up 12.8 and this is supposed to be ford flagship besides the out of price range FORD GT. Now mind you my car is not stock but i mean a cam, stall, intake, and exhaust plus im on a nitrous tune losing about 20rwhp from being so rich and im running 12.2 on motor this thing has a friggin blower on it that surely has to make up the difference from 5.4 to 5.7 that i have right? Would HENRY FORD and CARROLL SHELBY be proud?
