Looking to buy a new 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT for $35,000. I haven't been into cars since high school when I had my last Mustang. What do you think about them? Are they worth the money? Anywhere I can find a good review about them? http://i32.tinypic.com/2qbhnp3.jpg |
All it is is a Mustang GT with a short throw shifter and a 3.55 rear end (which is an option in the GT). Get yourself a regular Mustang GT, save some money and put it towards parts you really want. Not worth it, even though they do look cool. BTW, the sticker on those things around here is like 32. 35= you're overpaying. If you're gonna get a "fancy mustang GT", get a new Bullitt. Those things are pretty damn badass looking, and atleast come with a 3.73 rear end. |
where can you find them for 32? |
not a bad idea! |
I use about 200rwhp above that if I use my low boost setting. That's why God created sticky tires.  High boost setting and VP C16 on the street would mean I would need my slicks. |
Oh, I could bump it up another couple hundred HP if I wanted, but I like the way it drives and it's still faster then most cars on the road :) |

The Shelby's are ok. But, if you actually want performance out of one, do what others are saying, and buy a base GT and build it up. IF you want the looks of the shelby, and gotta have the Shelby name on it, then...well, yeah. Gotta buy the real deal, don't want to be a poser with a fake Shelby. But, there are a bazillion different body kits, hoods, scoops, etc etc that you can use to build a unique stang of your own. I would really love to trade in my 06 V6 on a Bullitt. I love the debadged sleeper look, not to mention that the Bullitt actually has some significant improvements on it, making it 'worth' the money. But, gas is getting pricey, and I have an absurdly long commute, so I'll keep my current pony for now. |
it is a myth that GT's get much worse gas mileage then the V6. it is all in how you drive it |

Evil man you are! Posting larger than life pics of a Bullitt! Bastage! Twisting my arm, you are!  |
That car was on a local dealer's lot, so I took some photos ..... they had a $3K mark-up on it ......... it's gone ............. You can see the other shots I took, just change the mustxx.jpg to 01 through 07 ......... |
