squirrel 0 #28 August 23, 2007 I used to own a 1967 Shelby GT 500 #0194. Yes, it was the real thing...spent ten years restoring it, making slight modifications to improve handleing, and power. 365hp, 425lbs of trq. 4 on the floor, and twin quads under the hood sitting ontop a medium rise manifold, on a 428 LeMahns block. But in the end, it was just a car. (oh, but such a beautiful car). Anyway, I have surpased the need for speed, and to have other people look at me. However, if you want to go fast, here is my sugestion: http://www.factoryfive.com/rdsterhome.html I have been to the factory five shop....this is not a kit, this is a race winning car. They have improved on the original Cobra design. Of course if you are buying a car for an investment, go with the real thing. I drive an old jeep now, that barely passes 60mph...like I said...I dont have the need for speed anymore...except in the sky. Well, or maybe when I ride my Vmax. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hooknswoop 19 #38 August 23, 2007 Nice car. A friend mine recently bought a new Shelby GT Cobra. 500 HP, supercharged, and the block is signed by the guy that put it together. He can go to a larger supercharger without voiding his warranty. I drove it and in the straights, the only thing I have driven faster was the MB Maclaren SLR. If your block can take it, supercharge it. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The shelby is like 50,000 and I got mine as a left over for 28,500. For $8,000 more I can push around high 600's RWHP and still be at the regular cost of a new gt convertible. Asides from having the literal new shelby's, the power is achieveable in a regular gt while saving much more money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hooknswoop 19 #40 August 23, 2007 Sorry, I didn't mean to come off like the Shelby was a much better car, just that it was from that driving experience that I was suggesting the supercharger for your GT. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derek No no I didn't mean it like that. I think for being stock, the shelby is amazing. I just meant in general I don't see why people by them for any other reason then having an official cobra. I was stating for the power and performance, you can save a whole lot of money and the cobra out of the water with a gt and mods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydemon2 0 #44 August 23, 2007 If I bought it, it would be for investment not a lot of driving. 20 years from now it has a much better chance of being worth a much higher value.

Hooknswoop 19 #45 August 23, 2007 Quote I just meant in general I don't see why people by them for any other reason then having an official cobra. Probably just that. Definitely a supercharger. Have fun, mustangs are cool cars. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #46 August 23, 2007 Damn nice car, better than any ride I have these days. Supercharger, no. Turbocharger, maybe. Still a lot of plumbing and tweaking. Maybe just say "NO", as in Nitrous Oxide. Can you get a high performance chip for the engine for quick, easy horsepower? Maybe some different wheels. If it was my 'Stang, I'd leave it stock as a stove, grab Vskydiver, and head to the DZ with all that left over bank in my pocket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zep 0 #47 August 23, 2007 A good set of springs an coilovers maybe a 2° negative camber an upgrade the disks an pads. Fitting a cold air intake is good also a catback.
