It’s purty cool, but for a 33k premium it better be race ready, actually for the first time in my life im actually a little dissapointed in a Shelby, well maybe I’ll wait for a full list of specs before I get too dissapointed.
And the gt500 isn’t really track ready, the suspension blows, it’s really just an enthusiast car built for straightaways. Oh wait that’s my kind of racing, I see a gt500 in my future. Or I’ll just get a kenne bell & call it a day.

Ok people have this misconception about small blocks, assuming that they must be small in terms of displacement & that people assume that big blocks must be large in displacement.
I’ve seen 300ci big blocks & 400ci small blocks and assuming that they made this into a big block, look no further that a head swap. I know it’s strange but no days I can put big block heads on what is traditionally accepted as a small block and then it becomes a big block.

As far as this goes, ford gave Shelby his start & without him american performance wouldn’t be like it is today. He drove innovation, without a performance mustang, would chevy have bothered, without the viper, would that corvette you like even exist like it sits. So take a moment and thank him.

Now Shelby helped design the gt500, and as far as your zo6 competing with this car don’t make me laugh. My grandfather has a 467rwhp 427r and it walks away from even new z06s. As far as spending this kind of money, there investing 20k worth of parts, giving you a warranty, and there pitting it all together. It’s expensive, but worth it. As they say, you gotta pay to play. And btw if this is a sanctioned race car then that make it worth the price of admission.

Ps boykit refers to ground effects put on by an aftermarket company, if ford put it on they’d call them ground effects. Fully integrated, huh, that must suck taking off yourwhole front end lol, you make me laugh.

True, I agree that this coming from his company is probably just home trying to get the remake done before he passes away. I truly think that the s197 wouldve been a better looking platform for this, it kinda looks like a Mach 1 molested the gt350. Oh well at least this gives us an idea about the gt500 powertrain.

& ps I am upset that this came from Shelby, obviously a sign that Shelby,the company is at a loss of reality

Actually this car is designed for road racing with it being in the power band for hours, that’s why the standard small block couldn’t be expected to stand up to that abuse. Make it a big block, alter the compression & it’s a winner, but a street 5.0 with 11:1 compression is a walk in the park to supercharge because it isn’t always in the power band for hours at a time. Just remember that forged rods and crank with hyperuetectic pistons is capable of 8lbs of boost and higher if you did water methanol injection. Btw with forged components I can supercharge 13.1:1 compession and easily make it last & the 5.0 has what it needs to start with.
