Default 2006 Gt350?

Real Shelby or nice set of ground effects? Can't find any specs on the web, only for the GT500. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think its real. The rims aren't the stockers to start, and I don't think the hoods right either, hard to tell though

might be a 4.6 that someone thought would be cool to call a G.T. 350 like back in the day the old Gt 350 came with the smaller engine and the GT 500 got that monster 428 or was it a 429?

The new GT500 is pretty sweet, a detuned version of the GT 5.4, iron block though, no aluminum

Detuned? It is factory supercharged! I would rather have the iron block. This thing is 450HP stock. A pulley and it will hit the upper 500s easy.

10K over MSRP for a mid 12 second car, that in my opinion is not that good looking either seems ridiculous. Who cars what its capable of, most people that buy one in the next 2 years won't mod it at all. Who wants to void their warranty on a FORD??? Let alone a 55K ford.

That's just a standard Mustang GT with some go fast stripes on it! And for the record, the Shelby GT500 was officially certified at 500hp SAE. Some of you must have missed that.

There are no GT350's. It's fake. I'm mean it's a real car, but not a GT350.

Not really...there's quite a bit of difference besides the block. Another 500lbs
comes to mind also.

It might be saleen, but I think someone was coming out with a supercharged v6 model, that could be it. Actually I think it was shelby, I dont know the designation though. IIRC it's gonna be right on track with a stock gt.

There was an 05 stang with GT350 stripes and duel exhaust at a local ford dealership not too long ago. I went to check it out due to pure curiosity and it turned out to be a plain 'ol V6. I'm not sure if the stripes and exhaust were custom or done by ford. The salemen didn't even know.

Upper 5oo's with a pulley don't think so.

Actually there is a new car that is kind of like the GT350. Not called it, but the dealer mentioned above was probably trying to make it look like this concept.

It's no Saleen. I work right around the corner from those guys and see them all the time (saw a LIME-GREEN one yesterday at the McDonald's... LIME GREEN!?!? )

Saleens have an awesome rear. If I got a 'Stang, I'd pay just to have that rear and the center-exit exhaust... mmm... like butta!

GT500 best numbers I have seen are 12.2X@117 ish mph. THis is with 2.13 60' time bone stock and powershifting 2nd gear. The magazine driver drove it like john force. WITH TRACTION CONTROL ON! it ran 12.6X@114ish as I recall. Not bad!
