/\ It's a trap.























:p

test drive one. see what you think.

Which one the 5.0 or Shelby?

I'm trying to drive the Shelby of one of the CPTs in my unit has. But he's out of town right now.

test drive both. go to the dealer, and just do it.

The best deal I've found a Shelby is a dark blue with STV and Nav for $53k. The USAA pricing is almost $57k. Only problem is that it's 10 hrs away.

:icon18: This. Test drive either one. You'll be pleased. The Shelby is like the 5.0, only on steroids. IMO, it looks better, has a more aggressive suspension tune, has a better tranny, and of course, has wayyyyy more power and torque you will ever need.

I would have bought the Shelby of course, no doubt. But I can't afford it just yet. It will be my next car... probably when I turn 40.

Bottomline, you can't go wrong with either one, obviously. The 5.0 is already such a great car.



Dan, on another note, I got your pm. That dude is hilarious. I will respond.

there should be one you can test drive closer. you don't have to buy the first one you drive.

That's KONA BLUE sir ;) and the best color mind you hehe.

Is that for a coupe or vert? That doesn't even include negotiations yet. For that matter, why locate one? Just order new...that's what I did. Made in just the way I like it.


Dan, I forgot to tell you btw, I sprung for HID/security pkg!!! :tiphat:

probably a good call. I like the look of the HIDs

I figured I only had one shot at this, and why not get the car I really want. I got spoiled with all the HID's from my other cars. Going back to Halogen was probably not a good idea. The Comfort pkg I didn't get... don't need heated as I never drive it in winter.

first one i test drove was HID/comfort/401a/shaker1000. wound up getting 400a with RR and I'm pretty happy. I actually had better visibility with the halogens, but my eyesight is kinda weird...i like the look of the hids much better though

I actually like the look of the halogens better. Glad I had the choice to get the car without the HIDs.

That's interesting. Maybe the halogens are that good...

Btw, here's the black shelby coupe we test drove at lunch today. Damn, what a sweet car. The biggest shock to me is still how smooth that tranny was. Smoother than 5.0. The clutch was softer than 5.0. Also, the car had EIGHT miles when we drove it. LOL.

i like the look of your headlights better.

damn that is hot.

8 miles. There is supposed to be some sort of break in on the gt500s where they can't go full boost until a certain number of miles.

:superghey:

slow to the party

Wow 132 pages of mustang on a 370z forum...whut...all this time i coulda hung around and bragged about my stang...j/k lol. Cdc front chin airaid cai bama tune hushpower axlebacks 0-60 4.29 1/4 12.34 grin from ear to ear. Wish i could've kept the nismo too but this economy just sucks.

I know eh? The wheels on the Shelby is pure s*x.

Yes 8. Well, now there's 18 or so. LOL. Neither my buddy or I even attempted to step on the throttle beyond 1/2 way. There was no way. He and I were already spinning from traffic lights, etc. There was just SO much power. It was insane. In a good way of course.




Btw, Dan or Steve, have you guys seen this knob? I'm actually debating this over the MGW shifter I can get. It appears to be a kona blue knob lol... from grabberpony.com

Whoa! Are you another Z-turned-5.0 guy???

I am running a Grabber Pony shift knob, except mine is just traditional white with a black gate. No 5.0 or anything like that on it. It is a nice quality part but they are custom made to order... I think I waited like 5 weeks for mine.

i think he had an epic flame thread when he posted his test drive results IIRC:icon17:

:gtfo2: :driving::tiphat:

Interesting. Maybe I should stick with my MGW knob? It was only 35bucks plus features the MGW logo. Black with white gates.


BTW Steve, I found the lloyds mats. Are these both the same? The one from American Muscle doesn't state Lloyds...

you are welcome here:roflpuke2:

we are all open minded car guys in this thread. except whoever keeps adding the tags.

thinking about buying axlebacks tonight...if I can just decide which ones...

Busy doing hw :(

uh oh. You really gonna do it? Which way you leanin'?

:wtf2:

gt500s because I'm a wimp

They both look the same. Both pages have the same manufacturer part number listed (F211991) so I'd say yes, they are both Lloyd's.

We got mods, mods, mods! :eekdance:

Dan you should get the Roush. Heard them again tonight. I like 'em.

I need to check those knobs out

worried about volume and rasp though.

I will get some pictures of mine tomorrow. They have so many different options.

I almost ordered it in Sterling Gray but they are acrylic and are color filled so it's not a totally clean look, it's kind of like a bowling ball where the color and flake is flowing all over the place.

I would still go for it.

yeah but you are ballsier than I am.

True. Go ahead and get the GT500s then.
