    Nice I bet it rides real good. Im pretty sure Saleen uses Bilsteins n just puts their name on em. How did you get it all so cheap, thats a deal right thuurrr.

    EDIT: Found it. BAM. They are bilsteins, except they are valved for Saleens spring of choice(whatever brand springs they use n just rebadge lol)

    I bet if you add those saleen springs or springs with a similar rate your car will ride rails.

    Have you given any thought to adding a panhard bar?

    these mods were put on over 4 weeks ago and i bought them in feb. just now got them on though. also ford is pissing me off on the shelby so i may be canceling it and getting a 350/370z , raptor (may wait for supercrew since i just found out supercrew raptors are coming), or another car. plus i plan on keeping the 07 gt wether i get the shelby or any other car.

    its not that, just a long wait since it was ordered. plus i got pushed back cause the manager is letting me use xplan even though the "shelbys" are one of the vehicles excluded normally.

    Best case is he gives up on the Shelby and gets a new 5.0 and them smacks the shelby guys around on the track.
    SCT has a new tune, adds 27rwhp to the 5.0's. As more and more bolt on's come out, those cars are just going to be silly.

    NO vert. But it will be a lot less common only a total of 23xx (I forget the number he told me same as 65-66 version) will be built. And it isnt a post title deal I spoke to the shelby rep and they have the 1st 30 cars fro FOMOCO at vegas already for conversion.

    And who wants a CHEBBY....lol

    I think its just the age gap, the Shelby name just doesnt mean anything to me like it does to the older bunch. I dont see the point in basically paying for a whole other car, just for a nicer interior and a body kit and blower.

    Guess again amigo a tad over 60K for the GT350 from what I was told by Shelby.

    Its not so much the SHELBY name as I am about tired of GT500's since they are a dime a dozen pretty much.

    I really have no interest in a new GT500 I do however like the fact that the 350 will be a 2yr only deal (like the hertz) and in the end will be a more rare car.

    I prefer the old ones (shelbys) any ways since the "new" ones are everywhere they kinda have lost there attraction. I like the ones someone busted ass to get to restored condition not one that just cuz ya got a fat bank roll you can "own a shelby". I know it takes $$ for the old ones but most of them are true stang people not just "Oh thats neat and I got a wad o $$ so Ill take one" kinda owners......
