Nick MorellaNov 25, 2012 It makes me sad considering I almost met him in 2009 at SEMA, I opted to meet Mario Andretti instead.
David ParentiNov 25, 2012 Some incredible last words.
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 Haha thanks Chris. Too many people get caught up with loving a handful of cars. I'd rather take Leno's approach and appreciate cars in a renaissance form, a good bit of knowledge and appreciation for practically all cars/et al.
Chris BensonNov 26, 2012 Dammit Alex your logic does not belong on this site/app, just kidding, and well said.
Alex ArvanitisNov 26, 2012 A civic with $15,000 put into it can easily run 9's if its done right Colby. Your vette might do so as well, as might this kr. None of that matters, appreciate a car for what it is, why fall privy to the social decay of singular infatuation?
Alex ArvanitisNov 26, 2012 Colby, do you really wanna be that guy bro? Come on man. You have a nice corvette, don't make it annoying by being a turd about it.
I personally like c5's and plan to build one, but honestly, my built tt 03 cobra would obliterate your car bro. Chill
Car BuzzerNov 26, 2012 Oops sorry I thought this was the 2013 ford mondeo. They just look really similar
Tyler TarboxNov 25, 2012 Hell even my Lightning would beat a stock C5.
Tyler TarboxNov 25, 2012 Alright I love Corvettes, but no a stock 02 Corvette would get crapped on by this. Go get a Z06 or ZR1 and then yeah it would win
Tim PreisingerNov 25, 2012 The Chevy VS Ford battles will never end. I love it. I wish everyone on car buzz could have a group track rental some day. I would be the first in line for that.
Matthew CrightonNov 25, 2012 Haha. @Colby you mid-life crisis car couldn't touch a desent gt500 super snake. Stop bragging.
Shelby CassandraNov 25, 2012 @Colby. My mustang would destroy your corvette in every category.
Devin BabynNov 25, 2012 He said that because its a GT500KR ya fan boy dip shit
Colby ChurchNov 25, 2012 Lol, not even close Nick. My 2002 Corvette would eat this car. I beat a 2011 Shelby GT500 a few months back. It's still a mustang. No competition for real sports cars.
Description: Just what those products will entail remains to be seen, but it's pretty safe to say that they'll be based on the Mustang in some form or another. Word has it that Shelby American may be pre...Add Comments1
Jason BartlettNov 25, 2012 Twin turbo 5.0 coyote cobra jet in street trim would be epic !
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 That said I wouldn't hack up a brand new one unless I was very wealthy, but its not like you can take a stock block z06 to 800whp and have it last for only $3,000 in mods. The beauty of these cars is in their 4 seat, big power, good handling combo.
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 $60k is steep but consider the potential and the immediate performance.
Like all blower cobras, intake, pulley, chip, exhaust, tires, brake pads, dynotune, and maybe even a blower swap will get this comfortably in the 9's with docile drivability.
Michael DavidsonNov 25, 2012 They are actually pretty cheap for what you get. There are a lot more expensive cars that I see everyday.
Jason BartlettNov 25, 2012 They seem to be very popular here in northern on Canada . Dealership here in Barrie always seems to have at least two or more on the lot
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 I love the originals as cruisers but if you've ever driven one in angst, loads better isn't what I would say. Heat worn tires, scorched brakes, dead clutch and axle hop plague the originals until extensive mods are caries out but they cruise awesome
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 Mind you, an m3 is 2.5 times the price, has roughly 100lb/ft less torque, and needs to rev to 8500 to reel in all its potential. The 5.0 gt can shed its weight easily at 2500rpms...
I've been in both and honestly, e92's feel porky.
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 Sam I wouldn't go that far, for $23k, a loaded v6 mustang pulls the same handling numbers as an m3. For $31,000 a 5.0 with brembo's is as fast as an m3 around road course's, motortrend and others proved this.
Fat? It's lighter than an m3...
Sam OglesbyNov 26, 2012 The mustang for the modern world a fat useless heap of rubbish. Old one is loads better
Alex ArvanitisNov 26, 2012 Colby, no one wants to hear it.
Bored.
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 Rated power: 335
Delivered power: 375+
The look on people's faces when these ran 13's with slicks back in the 60's, priceless.
12's with fuel adjustments, slicks, cam and headers. Impressive for the 60's
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 I like factory 5's Daytona shell, there's just something about that sheet metal, 60's look that does the Daytona right.
I love posh and polished as much as the next person but on a raw road racer, rough and tumble does the trick for me
Dimitry Mikhailovich MalikovNov 25, 2012 *Patrick, it's not supposed to look like a GT! It's a Shelby Daytona concept. Personally, I love it!
Patrick SchalkNov 25, 2012 Ehhhhh this car is gross. The front is ok but the back doesn't look enough like the GT
Drake NailonNov 25, 2012 It was a Ford concept based on the Ford GT architecture but front instead of mid engined. Don't ask me I didn't get it when I heard it either. Always thought it was beautiful myself. Was supposed to be a modern take on the Shelby Daytona Coupe.
Jordan JacksonNov 25, 2012 Shelby Daytona concept? That would be cool
Tyler TarboxNov 25, 2012 I remember seeing this concept at the Detroit Auto Show.
William DownsNov 25, 2012 Nawwaf don't u think we would have heard of this by now if it was a new Ford gt, especially since Mr. Shelby him self is there standing next to it
William DownsNov 25, 2012 Wow what is that beautiful machine?
It makes me sad considering I almost met him in 2009 at SEMA, I opted to meet Mario Andretti instead.
Some incredible last words.
