The car will be offered in four horsepower options, with pricing from $19,995 for a 240-hp V6 Mustang coupe to $46,500 for a 500-hp Shelby GT500 convertible. Wonder how they are in snow.......Not the original Shelby Stang but still pretty sweet.

nice
ya cheeky bastard ;)

I don't know for sure but I doubt the V6 will be called a Shelby or a GT. Also, that 500 hp claim is inflated, Car & Driver has tested the car twice and thinks the true number is more like 400 hp.

They may be coming out with a gt350 later... I have not seen one dyno that low yet. Saw one dyno stock w/tune at 475. Saw one dyno up around 570 with some extra bolt-ons. Here's a good sample of what people are getting with very little effort.

car and driver always fell to mention that those numbers are flywheel numbers not rear wheel numbers which are completely diffrent and to say car and drivers knows dick about driving a car is like saying ken Jones should be Mr Olympia if you want a good test drive or opinion of a vehicle look no further that Evan j smith who is in my opinion the best driver the magazine world has ever had to offer
i have been racing and building high horsepower cars and motorcycles my whole short life and i have ridden in the new GT 500 and the car has power but it is geared all wrong the rearend set is something like 3.20 it should be somewhere between 3.55 and 3.90 and it would be a totally different car

give me the super charged '03-'04 cobra anyday with bassani exhaust, flowmasters(1 chamber!), and the kenny bell blower and it'll be eating vipers and anything else for breakfast!

The car is a pig, 500 HP, but about 3,900 pounds? What was Ford thinking. And it does 0-60 in 4.5, whereas the M3 CSL with 360 HP does it in 4.5, the regular snuff M3 does it in 4.8. What's with it having SVT, but calling it a Shelby. A guy I used to work with was Pres. of the Maryland Shelby Club, wonder why ol Shel'
would license his name to such a pig. But he still a mustang man, so any high powered mustang is good to him ;D
I think Ford could spent money on giving it a IRS, shaving weight (a nice carbon fiber hood and trunk would nice on a electric blue car) about 400 pounds, removing the reat seats, brembo brakes, and 420-450 HP. That would have done the trick.
And it would have been worht every penny as well.

We got into this awhile back. The only American cars that actually "get it" without modifications imo are the ford gt and the new zo6 imo.The ford gt is my favoritie car actually.To bad it is over 100k. That mustang is prob great for burn outs,drags from light to lght and sounding great but the thing is heavy and handles like shit.
I do not understand why an American car maker cannot stuff a big ass v8 into a light car that HANDLES well and does not cost a ton. They could if they wanted to! Some american auto maker needs to make a car for about 38 grand that handles,is not a heavy pig,does not have stone age technology(good suspension) and has big power. Then I would buy American!!! Oh yah the csl is a great car. The bmw m z is also nice!

I got into it with this dude on autoweek.com about the new mustang GT. He says that it doesn't have a IRS because they wanted keep in line with the drag racers. Now, how many Mustang GT's do you see? I see more V6 Mustangs than V8 GT's, and the GT I do see the poeple are either men 45-65 ( not an issue ;D), or a blonde, whose husband is a Mustang fanatic. I forgot the stats, but the V8 is not selling too well, and how many of those actually go to people who want to drag race? Not many. So why would FORd want to keep the solid rear axle, just for a minute sample of their buying demographic. Well because it was cheaper to keep the Solid Rear axle than to adapt or design a new one
These are the same people who said that the Lincoln LS didn't have a manual because it couldn't handle the torque of the 280 HP V8, yet they make Mustangs standard with more!! Cheap asses
GM does make some good V8 cars, they are just thru their European and Aussy brands, (Opel and Holden, respectively)
I think the new Camaro will be the shit, trade in your Mustang and get a Camaro in black!

Well I love the hell out of my new stang but I never for once thought it was more than exactly what it is. GT's are not selling because 1. ford pushed the v6 this year more than any other year so I imagine several people who were set on GT's got sold on V6s. If I had to tell the sales person at the dealer one more time that I didn't want a fucking v6 I was going to skull f**k that bitch. 2. Many dealerships are still running an added market valued price hike for the GT's and they're not worth 5,000 over sticker. ::) I wouldn't have picked one up under those terms ::) the appeal of mustang IS their affordability with the idea of adding after market bolt performance. It may not be on the track but there are more people doing exactly that than you think. Don't for a second think that 45 year old GT owner hasn't spend some cash under the hood.

the 03-04 cobra had a IRS and many owners scraped them for the 8.8 straight axle right away including myself the mustang world survives in the aftermarkets hands and at the time the halfshafts weren't holding up and the aftermarket could get them until this year so a 600-1000 hp cobra was useless when your halfshaft snap and your combating the dreaded IRS hop,the mustang sub-culture is deeper than you think and before the shit even starts i am not just a ford guy or a drag racer i have been scca racing since i was 16 y/o and and owned a evo,sti,ws6(ls1),SS(lsi),03 cobra,2001 gt(still own 719 hp scca driven)540 hp hayabusa still have,Honda 929erion racing rr that i turbocharged and still have,and a army issued hummer that i got at a government auction(beach/surf truck still have) so i have been in this game pretty deep for awhile and my dad is a avid saleen collector(but Steve saleen is a prick so i do not buy saleens)so i have also been around the higher end cars s7,gt,enzo,lingenfelter z07 427 twin turbo,so if you have any questions PM me because i often forget about this board and car topics are something i enjoy

Speaking of turbos on a GT, have you seen Car & Driver this month? If not you need to pick it up, Heffner Performance down in Florida twin turbocharged a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Ford GT. Both are insane, the GT was so powerful down low in the powerband that Car & Driver couldn't get the rear wheels to hook up for acceleration runs. It would melt the tires. LOL

there is a twin turbo kit available for the gt(you would see more if certain assholes AKA my dads friend would let me build one for him) so sooner or later i will drive one with hairdryers but if i owned one the turbo kit would have been built and warranty voided before i even put gas in it(this has happened with many of my vehicles so that would be no diffrent)but it would almost certainly be faster than the s7 turbo given 20-30 psi but again the halfshafts do pose a problem given the irs
currently hp turbo kits makes one for the gt and maybe they have a video so google that shit

Holy shit.. Bench can you post some pictures? Is there a particular reason you prefer turbos to superchargers on American blocks?

i prefer turbos because there is no parasitic drag on the accessories so way more power superchargers are belt driven and drain alot of power and you have to worry about belt slip but turbos have no belt so less moving parts and think about why people like American cars it always the exhaust thats because there is a lot of it and turbos run off exhaust gas, and there is no turbo lag due to shit loads of exhaust so the American v8 is more suitable for a turbo than any four cylinder if you really think about it and with a supercharger you have to change out pulleys to change boost with a turbo you don't even have to get out of the car just the turn of a knob or a keystroke on a boost controller and away you go ,and as far as pictures go i no longer have the cobra i previously stated this earlier in the topic but i still have my 700 hp 2001 mustang gt but you would never know it unless i told you it still looks completely stock(wolf in sheep's clothing)but if you want to see a stock looking mustang i will post a few for you but again its nothing special to look at right now

the 350z is always going to be fun,but on a side note would you rather have a 98 gtr skyline or a 98 supra 2jz tt i just ditched my turbocharged honda 929 erion racing rr and i am about to buy one or the other in a government auction within a month and i have driven and loved both and i am leaning more towards the skyline

The track z has 300hp.. A stock 350z is around what the ford gt will run as far as performance: but remember the 350z is a v6 :o ... For what you pay for a 350z (base model) theres nothing out there that will give you what the 350z will give you for the money . YOu can buy a subaru sti or some all wheel drive turbo 4 cylndr but there around $32,800 to start without other options... Im not being biased here but the 350z isnt slow by any standards (especially mine hehe )....
