Default Shelby Mustang GT 2006

Lo All,

And now for something completely different?

Lot of horses, not bothered about cornering ability (which is lucky)

Thoughts on the supercharged American bruiser?

Cheers

Dan

Rousch??? was better according to TG. Cheaper and faster. Bit of a fib on the power figures for the 500 apparently....

Like that a LOT!
Sadly, we have corners here so good handling is a requirement - although it sounds like some of the converted Mustangs have that fully sorted now.

Gotta do some research on the Saleen, if it handles better than the Shelby might be a difficult choice...take the Saleen now, or wait for a Shelby at the right price

The sound clip is

Should petition Ford UK to start bringing it in as RHD's a bit like the Monaro.

i think suspension was TG's arguement for the Rousche version. Better brakes and suspension rather than just more power in a chassis that is already struggling to cope. The saleen looks good though and i'd take one in a shot.
