Default 2007 Shelby GT?


i was reading an article in some auto magazine, they said ford will start marketing a 2007 Shelby GT. Now, i was reading the specs i remember 315 hp and around the same for torque. Asking price started at like 35-37. What did they do, take an existing GT, slap shelby's name on it with an underdrive pulley or lame tune? Could this have been a typo?


On aside notafter a month of having no rear window in the vert (due to a crazy ex girlfriend) i finally got the car in to get it fixed. Dealership wanted 1700, safelite wanted 1250 and this local upholstery shop wanted 538.00 guess who i went with. Excellent quality, got the car washed, no leaks or anything. Looks like it did from the factory.

that is the dumbest thing ive seen!!! a shelby gt and they still couldnt put at least 3.73's in it. 325 HP and 40k+ for a shelby gt... 5k more and you get the shelby gt500... for 40 grand id expect at least a 4V

I work at a Ford Dealer in Cincinnati and we have one in our showroom. With the mark-up they want $59,100 for it. Its the biggest rip off ever.

You could buy a regular GT and get a good CAI & tune and put out slightly more HP than the Shelby GT.

you could get alot more than those mods... 32000 vs 51000 according to that guy? you could get FI, dynotune, intake, exhaust, gears.. etc. probably end up above a gt500

315 HP is a slap in the face to Ford fans. What they SHOULD have done is give it 350 HP and named it the Shelby GT 350 so they could have a 350 AND 500 like the old days. Shelby GT? What is theis Dodge? Reminds me of Charger R/T Daytona Hemi Magnum. Way to waste all the name plates in one shot. Like the "Ford GT" What the hell ever happend to calling it the GT-40? I cant stand nameplate abuse by the big three. Chevy is doing the same thing by naming everything under the sun an "SS" including a stand along car just called "SS"
