2007 Shelby GT500 Mustang

Man, you've got it bad. : )

My latest daydream car is to get a '73-'75 Crapmaro (because they're cheap and emissions exempt in Cali), swap over the front and rear fascia from a '70-'72 Rally Sport (think split bumpers), and drop in a Gale Banks twin-turbo SBC:

Here's my link in working form:

It's worth the trouble; really a pretty engine.

That's for the ejector seat, for when your significant other says "SLOW THE F' DOWN" for the 25th time.

all i can say is... DAYUM!

- are they building it in the convertible?

- will it be as tunable and upgradable as the 03/04's (i read the 05's-up utilize a drive-by-wire, variable cam setup, and that is not as condusive to upgrades)

With the 5.4L blown Ford GT engine it will be a $25 pulley away from making 600+ rwhp.

Yes, a convertible is in the works. The nice thing is that the S197 chassis has been estimated to be about 30% stiffer than SN95 in coupe trim. Team Mustang has advertised that they tried diligently to provide that improvement with a topless configuration in mind. The torsional strength *has* to be less, but it will still be better than SN95 :).

This isn't the 3v, VVT configuration :). This is a non-VVT 5.4 DOHC with a single EEC-V PCM and no fly-by-wire. The pulley looks different from the Eaton and Whipple so it may take a few weeks for the aftermarket guys to tool it out. After that, though, it's a pulley swap and tune away from big numbers :).

Well, maybe a $125 pulley.....

Only if you buy it from a Ford dealer's parts department. ;)

Nice, but how much is this thing going to cost?

Also any news about performance #'s?

Thanks Musty
