SicShelby

Heyyyy 'nother Shelby how are ya? Haven't seen yours around I don't think - there are a couple others in the area... '07 blue/white in Delaware, and some others... I seen one a couple of months ago on 33 down my Grandview Heights, was that you? And Robert - is your GTO black and loud as hell? The one that I seen if I remember correctly had red letter inserts in the rear bumper... was that you? IMO it's a lot of bang for the buck, considering Carroll's name is on there... now if I really had money to burn, I'd send it off to get SS badges on it. The KR's are out there, those things are selling for 100K + last I checked. CRAZY. But to answer your question... Hell I don't know, I just love it! There are better buys out there, however, but I'm extremely biased to Ford, and Carroll Shelby. Why not buy a 'Vette? Because... even though the 'Vette is arguably a better car for the money, there are a lot of them out there, and the Shelby has more "charisma." Yammer. Thanks for the welcomes all...

Oooooh the Shelby is an "abomination"!? I. Don't. Think. So. :asshole: You just stole somebody's dream. Do you steel candy away from babies too? Haha. But seriously, your "abomination" term for a Shelby needs explanation. Good luck.

IMO they tell you what you want to hear and then... go off on a different tangent any frik'n way. No wonder why we get the same thing every 4/8 years and different presidencies. They say the same thing until they're elected. Works.

Good point. Everyone mods those cars... they ask for it. Mustangs do sound good, and they're... specific to the car, it seems like. The GT500's are a little different considering they use the 5.4L and not the 4.6L... but still - "It's all the same, only different." The GT500 is a little quiet stock though, like any other. 'Vettes with pipes are even sicker.

I'm actually surprised that Chevy is not coming out with the full line up when the new Camaro's are coming out - they're just making the LT and the SS, no Z28 middle man. The Camaro was always bagged on by Corvette owners, too, for being an overpowered, uncontrollable, ridiculous beast. I think they're fun. The Camaro SS is like riding a bull, the Corvette is much more refined, like a... lamb.... or something. What fun is that? Unless... you bring in the Corvette ZR1, then you're getting into supercar territory. Yeah I yammer I while. Thanks for the + Rep all I'm getting out of the oven. Good idea though...

Were you that guy in the MIATA!!?? Good thing I have a fast car...

CJ... where'd you hide the gun man?

Got it. I have a big screen.

Haha no kidding, most people don't make eye contact with me on the freeway... 'cept for that dude in the Miata... but... I don't think he wanted to race. And apart from that, there isn't a whole lot going on. I DID get spanked by an '04 Cobra on Sunday though. That thing was freegan niiiice. I can't WAIT to make a GT500 faster.

Haha, two good friends of mine have SS's, I'm the only black sheep... one had it cammed and tunned, freegan beeeutiful, the other has the CAI and a cut out... thing sounds like you're in a tin can and someone is hitting it with a bat... Love the cut outs but not much favored on the GT500 platform... Just ah... punch holes in the mufflers with my screwdriver. Nice SS, hats off.

Andrew - nice fox body my man, not too many clean ones left... Did you hear that they're contemplating bringing back the 5.0L engine? I'm sure you stay up on that stuff.... Christian I did spend some time down in San Diego, but unless you were Marine Corps I'm afraid I'm not the Gabe you're looking for... and... I don't go to OBGYN's... Soooo... good to meet you. Preston man, you've got that Mach 1 pinned down dude, VERY NICE. Yes we will get together, next year though, the Shelby is going into hibernation tomorrow. Thanks for the run... CJ thanks for the props I'll see you around, and get that damn thing out on the road huh? Yellow with dust is not a bitch'n yellow! That things is nice, anyone here seen that thing!? Thanks for the + Rep all, I'll see you down the road!! WOOOO!!

You got that right... them tires are expensive though Anyhow more information - I moved to Columbus from California in 2005. I've been here since, and just got the Shelby earlier this year... My name is Gabe, and I work for the unions in Ohio - Teamsters, Laborers, IAFF, SMW, you name it. As for people here, I don't know anyone... at some point you have to get acquainted. The guy from the orange Mach 1 yelling "are you on Columbus racing!!!?" I said "NO!", and he said.... "you should!!!" Here I am.... and here are some more pics. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/gjsantos2/IMG_2396.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/gjsantos2/IMG_2421.jpg

I had a 95 GT a few years ago... when you slapping on the blower? Ohhh and there's someone here that told me about the forum, has a real clean orange Mach 1... I'm looking forward to seeing the other rides here...

Hello all... new to the forum obviously. I am a owner of a 2008 Shelby GT500, and am looking forward to meeting you all... http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/gjsantos2/IMG_2456a.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/gjsantos2/IMG_2400.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/gjsantos2/IMG_2449.jpg The Shelby is stock as a block... for now
