General Car Discussion

They are pretty rare - only 101 cars were built. And who knows how many survived and how many of those are still on the road and not in a museum.

I think the estimated number rotates around 70-80 existing models. No idea how many are actually driveable.




P.S.:


Would love to own one of these little rockets.

Why do I want this so much?

Because you have no taste.

The ultimate Ford Mustang – Shelby GT500 – raises the bar high on performance by delivering a track-tested top speed of more than 200 mph. The 5.8-liter supercharged V8 aluminum-block engine produces 662 horsepower and 631 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful production V8 in the world.

Nearly every part of the powertrain has been optimized for producing the additional horsepower, including a new supercharger, new cross-drilled block and heads, updated camshaft profiles, a new carbon fiber driveshaft and upgraded clutch, transmission and axle.

And nearly every gear on the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 has been revised to manage the torque and use more of the power in a way that makes it more driver-friendly.

How can it be a one off limited edition.

[Thumpsquid]

I wonder if it still has leaf springs and a live rear axle.

[California Joe]

They'll probably make 500 of them...I dig it.

[shermbodius]

I prefer my sports cars like CJ prefers his men. Italian!

[California Joe]

It's in "I love bewbies month" pink.

I doubt it. I also dont think many modern american cars above $25k have leaf springs.

Sorry but I gotta agree with Lobo on this one, I drive one of those on a fairly regular basis and let me tell you, those things haul. Plus you can pull into a driveway with out worrying that you going to scrape you ProDrive replica lip off...

Edit: Though I'm not sure why you want it so much aside from it being well taken care off.

It needs another hundred horsepower..............to be as fast as my 1981 honda civic

[Zorro C9]

That's ugly as hell.
