none of the painted part of the bumper is cut out. You can't see the black part of the bumper from a distance so I can see how you would have thought it would have been a 6'er.

i guess thats kinda true..but shouldnt he still be able to make out the dual exhaust tips? i look for cutouts in the bumper first..then i count tips... sometimes ill see 6ers with two tips slanted ou the back bumper..looks kinda funny..lol. for some reason i thought the gt500s had side exhaust like the roushe. ALSO the big chrome SHELBY letters kinda give it away to..lol

Ford needs to put some of these bolt-ons on next year GT500 if they want to hang with the new vette pushing 430+hp w/ exhaust option, + the vettes about 500lbs lighter.

I guess I just pay too much attention to cars to not notice.?.?. The tips are in the blacked out part of the rear, but if i see a car infront that would be fun to tangle with....I pay attention.

BTW - that rearend pic is pre-release/production. The rear is a tad different. SHELBY isn't spelled out so large. but a gt500 isn't unmistakable to another stang. Maybe he discredited it once he thought it was a sixer?

i still havnt raced on of these..but i would assume they are a pretty good challenge for the power they are suppose to put down.
With 394 rwhp you would fair well against a stock one, probably beat it IMO. Night and day though once modded. They really made it difficult though to swap pullies on these things. The cobras are pretty easy, but the gt500's are a pain in the ***. Took the shop quite a while to get it set up but man what a difference a smaller pulley, cai and full exhaust make on those things!

its still a mustang. 500hp on a v8 isnt real hard to hit with a forged motor and forced induction. you can put a blower on a vette or fbody and if you had one with forced induction and did a few extra mods,im sure it would "wake up" as well. power to weight ratio sucks and it takes a blower to make its power so its not anything special.you want to compare it to another big dog? the zo6 weighs 31xx lbs and makes 500 NATURALLY aspirated hp. i wonder if it would "wake up" with a blower ? as for sales figures,ever heard of supply & demand ? i believe it goes something along the lines of ; low supply high demand...sure theres more stangs around but who wants to look at the SAME CAR they drive sitting across from them at every light in town ?!

id say its a good kill. thats what its all about,taking a car and making it faster than something it wouldnt normally be able to tangle with. keep it up

i can see that shelby owner now, sitting in front of his computer, trying to find the best headers to buy...

I just find it odd that he thought it was a V6 whereas his fiance' was the one who pointed ot that it was a GT500.

Yes he was, car trapped 133+ last time. I've heard he's changed some things around again. He was pondering dumping the nitrous dual stage and going to a turbo. Maybe he will chim in.

Granted, I don't know about the ford's, but I could do it on my old jap truck, rofl. It's a manual of course and no reverse lockout when the clutch was engaged.

Man a GT500 loses and all the Ford boys get butthurt, Unit excluded of course. A car trapping 133 mph would *** rape a GT500.

Thank you I knew there was no bumper cuts. It was getting dark and from where I was at the first thing i could look for was the bumper cuts. My passanger was the one who caught the shelby as we got closer.

The nieghbor moved

Yes he blinked hislil square reverse light twice then nailed it again.

Fixed it for ya.
Butthurt? Naw. If you can't take a stock GT500, you got nothing to brag on anyway.

I'd love to have one, but no way I'm paying the crook dealers "market addendum" bullshit price. I've got plenty other things to do with 70K.
