I find it interesting that Shelby could influence Ford to change the 2007 design and production line so Shelby could have the engine, suspension and subframe improvments he wanted. I believe it is a very positive thing that Shelby’s design team ideas are on all 2007s.

They had to build up the front, for theadditional engine weight of the 5.4 SC engine, it must have been cheaper to make a complete change, than just to the GT 500's. Has anyone said that standard GT's benefit from this added structure?

Also, In driving the 05s, I found them to be much louder, almost like driving the 07 with a window down, whereas the 07 seemed almost as quiet as the coupe. Anyone know if there were any sound-deadening changes, or do the cars just become that loud and rattly that quickly
?

Am I sensing some '07 envy?
If our '07 stangs had come with superchargers, the same ones in here saying "so what! it's extra weight!" would be saying "oh, but it's not a good supercharger...I can get a better one". ...Ok, maybe not, but give the guy a break! He just asked a simple question. No need for the stinky attitudes.
