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...

And to whoever stated butthurt...please tell me where the blue bloods are getting butthurt. The OP's post was contradictin to me, so I asked for clarification. Hell, I even defended him saying the 'SHELBY' logo is not that large on teh production gt500, cause the pic posted was NOT the production rear.

I have driven 3 of them now 2 coupes and a vert. Not impressive at all stock but the ones I drove were new. They do not feel that fast stock but I have heard they open up once they get some miles on them. If I could buy one for MSRP I probably would but I would order the pulley/CAI/ LT's and exhaust and have them sitting in my garage to be installed the minute the car was broke in!
On another funny note I had to eat crow when a customer said his GT500 would blow my Corvette away. I didn't want to tick the guy off, I hope I see him on the freeway!

Are we beating on this dead horse again? Of course you can take a cheap A$$ (or cheaper) car and make it fast with X amount of money. Every person who has an iota of automotive knowledge will know this.
A guy who buys a Ferrarai I'm sure knows he can spend the money he used for the Ferrarai on a goddamn Pinto and make it as fast as the Ferrarai.
So is the Pinto somehow a better car than the Ferrarai becuase you dump X amount money and make it faster than a Ferrarai you spent more on?
That seems to me to be the logical conclusion of all these "I spent less money on said car to make it faster than other said car that costs more" arguments, which in fact is not a logical argument at all. It's just plain retarded.

when you compare it a Ferrai to a pinto than yes it would make more logic to get the ferrari..its a compleatly different class of car. we are comparing mustangs to camaros and trans ams. they are more in each others class. and just proves that the mustang is over priced..and because of that you can get an fbody and make it faster for less money... u can go an compare the cheapest car on the planet to one of the worlds super cars. thats just retarted.

All you are doing is showing you age/maturity with that argument.
