Great car!! Great move!! now you see how far above the GT the Shelby is...now you might lookinto a Brenspeed stage 2 preformance package...really wakes it up!
I have 5000 miles on my 08 and the clutch seems fine...If in the future it needs replacing...so be it...having my Shelby is worth that!

Such a beautiful mustang. Maybe lower it a tad and it will be perfect with the wheels. Great color!

I put the original wheels back on the GT when I traded it in. I have the SVT wheels in the garage, not sure if I want to sell them yet. In the future I'm looking to install Steeda's sport springs with the D-spec struts and shocks. As far as upgrading power, I can't really decide between Brenspeed or VMP tuning. I've read good things about both companies. Got the car for $39k, edmunds.com valued it around $38,400 as a certified pre owned. They wouldn't go any lower on the price since they were first asking $42,900 when they first listed it. I kept my eye on it over the last month and a half and they kept dropping the price.
