AuNuma1 1 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Yeah, that's pretty cool looking. It kind of looks wider than the base model. Interesting choice of wheels. In the last pic w/ Shelby, what's that big red stopper for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just too scared of looking stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,086 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 When I was in college, I had a black, 1965 Shelby GT 350. I sold it when I went into the service. I still regret that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeduke 8 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 The red button is one of three things: 1) parachute to stop the car 2) ejector seat 3) reaches into the back seat to put your heart back in when you stomp the gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUJarhead 70 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Awesome. Ford Web Site The number Iharra and Gouzowski will most likely recite when describing the Shelby Cobra GT500 is 450, as in 450 horsepower and 450 pounds-feet of torque generated from a supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V-8 engine. The 5.4-liter engine was first put into service in the limited-edition 2000 SVT Mustang Cobra R, a car that Car and Driver magazine ran from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and from 0 to 100 in 11 seconds -- without a supercharger. If ever there were a car that would make me consider selling my Jeep, it would be the new Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustemBigBlue 178 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I love the new mustang bodystyle. I was excited when I heard Pontiac was making a new GTO but it was dissapointing when I saw it. I think ford did the old muscle-car lovers proud with these new pony's. Dodge is coming out with a new charger but they screwed up on the bodystyle. The old charger is one of my favorite cars but this new one is just ugly. 2006 charger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuNuma1 1 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Looks like the car that Shelby is sitting in isn't a factory GT500, hence the gauges down the left pillar. I think that stopper is plugging up the power outlet that comes on cars nowadays...maybe they don't use it or something. Do you know, BS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 It looks like the dc/power outlet on the real shelby gt. a lot of the pre release cars have funky stuff on it like that...when they are just tester cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=554820 Scroll down about half the page and youll see some decent "live" garage shots of this bad boy. Youll also see the SVT "SUT" concept next to it...that im not fond of. But this shelby is killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger12 46 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 All I know is that I have never been a real big Ford guy and I have never liked the Mustangs that have been put out since the 80's. However, when I first saw the new look, I instantly told my wife I must have one for myself! The old style muscle car look is awesome. Too bad my wife does not think it would be a nice family car.

AuNuma1 1 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 The gas cap medallion is a cool touch...old school. I think it would've looked even more old school if they put the fog lights in the middle like the '65 GT. How much is this car going to cost? Ha! From ford.com specs: "Horsepower: more than 450". Good God! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUJarhead 70 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 On Ford's web site, they said "slightly higher" than the Cobras, which I believe were 35k. I'd guess this one would be between 40-45k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 They said it will be below 40k. So probably 39,999.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaGrad03 0 Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 It's the "SVT" model. So Im pretty sure they will continue it. When Ford did the body change in 99, the svt cobra had some exhaust issues, and needed a recall. This time SVT said they wanted a year to do R&D to get it right. That's why they were a year later on this release. I would also look for a "Mach 1" in 07 or 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
