Black and Blue GT500's

[SHHHH]

Took a few cell phone pictures when my brother was in town with his 2011 GT500. Nothing special, just sharing.
2011 Shelby GT500-Black
2013 Shelby GT500- Deep Impact Blue


Found an old picture back when it had 100miles on it or so.

Thanks :goodjob:

Thanks! Nah no racing videos. My brother knows it wouldn't end well being that his is stock and Im putting out over 150rwhp and 200ftlbs more then what his is even rated at the crank hahaha.

[l Gizzy l]

OH MY GAWD.

GORGEOUS.

[l Gizzy l]

The rear end on yours looks so much better than the black one.

[boostedb16]

i would take the blue one with the wheels off the black one.

[SHHHH]

See above comment hahaha. Im bias towards my wheels but my brothers are pretty sweet as well.

you're running stock s/c?

[SHHHH]

Yep

what about internals? they come forged factory, correct? Since its F/I.


The termi's internals were pretty solid, how do the GT500s compare?

[SHHHH]

Its all forged but the rods are powdered forged. The 03/04 rods are way stronger. The rods are about the only thing that wont take 1000+rwhp in this car.

ahhhhhhh touche.That's insane. You already upped the rods?

[SHHHH]

ahhhhhhh touche.That's insane. You already upped the rods?

Nah I've only added a FRPP Twin 65mm TB, JLT 123mm CAI, 2.4 VMP Pulley and Division X Idler. Maybe farther down the road I'll open it up, swap out for some Manley rods and put a KB on it but as for now Its nice for a cruiser.

[l Gizzy l]

I'll say that's nice for a cruiser.

Speaking of Termi....

2003 Mustang Cobra- REDUCED (http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/3454443266.html)


fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I wanna die. So its the pulleys that are getting you power, ha I was wondering where you were getting the numbers if you were stock motor and S/C. Duh, pulleys.

You tuned?

[SHHHH]

I gained 66rwhp from just a TB, CAI and tune. Before I ever swapped the pulley. 4v mod motors love bolt ons and yes Im tuned now.


I sold my 2003 Cobra 2.8KB with like 93K Miles for $20,000 earlier this year. Thats a good deal for a low miles Cobra.

[l Gizzy l]

Moes do the work?

[SHHHH]

Moes do the work?

Ya, remember I told you I was up there a few weeks back hahaha

[l Gizzy l]

thats right, I couldnt tell if you had the work done there or if you just liked to chill there ha Good deal.

We've got a Boss out front (Team Ford Murrrrrietta) that's under 40, but I cant justify doing payments again. It SUCKS watching money just being taken from your check month after month ha

So i'll save up and just pay cash + the Z for a termi next summer. Hopefully.

[Nerdsrock22]

Very cool Phil.

Let me know when you get ready to ride out to c&o!

[SHHHH]

Added 6 more pictures to my first post. Same cell phone quality ones.

[djyuck]

what is c&o? Both cars are heavenly. the blue is just plain filth. i would sleep in it every night if I had that. Im still angry at that magazing who picked the ZL1 over the GT500. GT500 is on another level plain and simple. 90% of people would take a GT500 over a ZL1 i bet.

Thanks :goodjob: I havent slept in mine yet hahaha. Every big name magazine picked the zl1 over the GT500. Its cool though. The Shelby pulled faster lap times around half the tracks but since it has a solid rear axle everyone makes fun of it. On the drag strip or from a roll its no contest.

lolol I've read that article about 10 times over, basically it came down to the price difference.

C&O is an exotic/high end car meet in Alpharetta

[djyuck]

Yeah, the article was BS. So yeah, if you run the two lap after lap, the brakes will begin to dive on the GT500. Got it. That doesn't mean the ZL1 is better. Completely ridiculous. The GT500 was still faster on the track and in a straight line.

Theres a couple youtube videos of people running stock pads with only changing brake fluid with zero fade issues. The stock fluid in the zl1 and gt500 is not ment for the track.

Both cars look great.

Did you just get bored with the Termi, man? Why the upgrade?

[SHHHH]

Did you just get bored with the Termi, man? Why the upgrade?

I loved it but in the end it was 10 years old and almost 100K miles. It was an amazing car but the '13 is an upgrade in every single way. Even with the 2.8L Kenne Bell I had on my '03 the '13 is hands down a better car.

Plus seeing how the market for the '03/'04s are dropping I wanted to get out of it. If it was a low miles car like 30K or so I'd probably still have it. You can grab ones close to 100K for around 15K now. They are usually trash and have been upgraded/maintained with the cheapest parts possible but the market in a whole for those cars is slowly turning to junk.

Absolutely, even in the 7 years or so I've been looing I've seen them drop almost 10k across the boards in price. I can find them right at $20k for <50k miles, stock. That was UNHEARD of 5 years ago.

Not to mention this
L A Motorcars - Inventory - Richardson, Texas (http://www.lamotorcars.com/web/3059/inventory?make_id=26&model=Mustang)

I just love how they look, and I cant swing at GT500 at my current age...ha maybe in another 5 years or so I'll upgrade yet again. I got bored with my Z, and my pops feels I'll be the same way when I buy the termi, 2 years and I'll get bored.

[djyuck]

Theres a couple youtube videos of people running stock pads with only changing brake fluid with zero fade issues. The stock fluid in the zl1 and gt500 is not ment for the track.

I didn't even talk about the GT500 having superior resale value, wow factor, etc.

Interesting about the brake fluid. I wouldn't have thought of this. Perhaps i am showing my inexperience with braking systems. All I know is they are a pain the bleed properly! Regardless, your car is sick and I don't care who calls me a nuthugger.

Hahaha thanks :goodjob:
The price as tested in higher but if you just want a decent handling car with goobs of power the base msrp GT500 is less than the zl1. Which the magazines or zl1 faithful never take into account.

Short video of my old '03 Cobra since you love them hahaha

....and the 2013 is still an upgrade in every way, acceleration, top speed , braking, handling, ect... You just gotta pay to play hahaha

Holy fuq that pulled hard over 100. Wow. what did that run in the QM? Did you ever run a half-mile?

I'm not so sure it's you have to pay to play... it's you are either single or your wife was cool enough to let you get one. I couldn't even negotiate a '13 Boss. Then, of course, she gets a GL450... with every option. FML. I better get a GT500 next or I'll just show up one day with one.

Hahahaha you are 100% right. Not being married and not having kids leaves you with a lot of time to play with expensive toys.
Never ran it at the track. The guy I sold it too had it at Zmax in NC the very next day and I honestly dont remember what he was running. 11 something at 129mph. I remember the mph but not the 60ft or et. I lost touch with the owner and Im not sure where and what that car is up too now. He was good friends with a 5.0 Magazine editor so he told me to keep a look out since he was going to be in it but other then that I have no idea.

[l Gizzy l]

i'll watch the vid as soon as I get home. I'm REALLY wanting to get a DSG or SB.......gotta be a coupe, and preferably an 04

Although Mystichrome would be awesome.....

Mine was Sonic Blue, my good friend had an '04 Competition Orange. SB is a 2003 only color and CO is a 2004 only color fyi. I have videos of both on Mo's dyno on my youtube account.

Im not usually a fan of mustangs, but those Shelby's are freaking sick. I have to say that my favorite of the two is black….but I'm biased cause I love black cars. Keep up the good work!

Just saw this...very nice.

Again a big fan of the 13's for the new enhancements....better handling, 5.8 and the extra 112hp doesnt hurt...thats crazy w/some bolt ons you were able to make an extra 150 whp out of it...any planned track time to see what it scoots down the quarter in ?

If I was a betting man...u could see 135 mph traps....good lawd

I like the blue one best...it could be PINK and would still like it best because its FASTER lol...

Added an old picture of the car back when I threw it on the dyno for some baseline #'s. Its not my picture, someone who worked there took it.
Picture is in the OP.
