Has anybody see the 07 Shelby Mustang!

I meant in terms of what you can see. *wink*
Tiny windows and whatnot bother me, personally.

Who cares if it weighs a tad much, and isn't built to corner very well. It CLEARLY wasn't designed to do so. The Ford GT, it was, the Ford Mustang, it wasn't. So why complain about it if that's not even what it was made for. I don't many people saying the F-150 doesn't do particularly well on the track, for obvious reason, it wasn't meant too.

The new Shelby is pretty much a Supra by Ford. Stupid amounts of power easily made in a very very tough motor. Only thing is these cars actually go down the 1320 pretty well compared to Supra's.

*edit*

Found the video for you guys. Intake, exhaust, pully, 75 shot and a tune. 9.96 @ 141

For a RWD car with a front engine setup, that was a nice hookup, with slicks granted, but still.

"But still" what?

It's a boat of a car with a big engine. It's made to go in a straight line fast. That's it.

I wouldn't necessarily call the 5.4 "big". I mean, chevy is rolling a 7.0 nowadays, and Dodge has had the ole 8.3 in the viper for quite some time.

But yeah, it does what it was made to do well.

If I had said "powerful" would that make you feel better?

I like racing as much as any other guy, in fact I go out racing every two weeks on a friday and saturday night no joke, but I also like to look at cars, admiring the beauty that God has given us on earth, in my town you can only race for maybe three to four blocks because of the cars in front of you, there are so many cars around here with a turbo installed, but they don't have the brains on how to use it, or they can't pop it off right. man, just try to make your car look good, what's the point of having nitrous oxide, a turbo, double headers, and all that if your car lloks like crap?

anathema · 02-22-2007, 10:05 PM

You wouldnt be talking of illegal street racing would ya???

Shredcheddar · 02-22-2007, 10:45 PM

I would take a five-speed BMW 338i with ripped up paint and broken doorhandles in a heartbeat. It's all about the performance.

Some people would say that a cars functionality is the most important part. Speed looks good to some people, no matter what the paint job looks like.

So don't race down crowded public streets?

That was a trainwreck of a post if i've ever seen one. Please don't do that anymore.

Shredcheddar · 02-23-2007, 06:19 PM

Ouch. Wally just nerfballed Upperground.

mulletman · 02-24-2007, 12:13 AM

Indeed he did.

I can see the point (and fun) of having a quick straight line car. However, I would prefer something like an old VW, simply because of the surprise factor. Not to mention the fact that I could spend 20 grand building a drivetrain and not break 25 for the total project.

It's fun though, and there's nowhere else to do it, I like people to stare at me as I pass them when i'm doing 65-70MPH (I know it's not high speed, actually it is when the posted speed limit is 35. as most of you know ive got a 95 Chrysler LeBaron, when I get my income tax, i'm throwing 2 1/2 inch exhaust pipe on it, to make it sound better, the whole "hole on the muffler" is getting annoying, and i'm dropping it, maybe throw in a bigger throttle bigger, for when i'm racing.
