suv_guy_19 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 My bad. Still have the preliminary figures running through my head from years ago. So the KR is what 530 HP? I thought it was 550, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackHorse Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Or Omni Shelby or FWD Charger Shelby or suing the only organization that ever tried to promote the good performance cars that he actually did build. Rightly so, Ford did not come up with the name GT350 and if they want to use it on one of their cars they should do the right thing and either get permission from Shelby or offer some money for the rights to it.

Moby Vic Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 And you're not gonna see a 500-horsepower car for $35K, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Do you know they didn't? Wasn't it to do with the length of Shelby's factory or is that a common myth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Vic Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Do we have any idea how much the new Camaro will weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Do we have any idea how much the new Camaro will weigh? I've heard somewhere in the 3700-3800 lb range for a V8. Not exactly spritely, but not too different than the current Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Vic Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 And what about the Challenger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrtran Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 (BlackHorse @ Dec 12 2007, 03:07 PM) *Rightly so, Ford did not come up with the name GT350 and if they want to use it on one of their cars they should do the right thing and either get permission from Shelby or offer some money for the rights to it. Do you know they didn't? I think BlackHorse misunderstood you. You seem to be referring to the SAAC lawsuit, while he seems to be referring to the suit over the 20th anniversary 1984 Mustangs (the ones with the red rocker-panel stripes with "GT350" in them.)

kevinb120 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) wow that got chunky quick looks about a foot taller then the concept(its higher then the roof of the cars next to it). The Challenger is much better looking. I knew this was going to turn into a lego car after production features were incorporated. If they are at a 2010 launch, these are production panels on the vehicle, it should be 90% done two years from production. It has the same front brake calipers as the Mustang. I wish Mustangs had that kind of curb clearance, looks like my edge. Edited December 17, 2007 by kevinb120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, Ford allows Shelby to get rich riding on Ford development dollars then he sues later for stickers?? Now he's back weaning on the teat 'designing' cars with Ford. Gotta love it. For 60's cars I'm a die-hard GM guy, so I'm not exactly excited about Shelby stuff. Although my '87 Shelby Charger was cool at the time Edited December 17, 2007 by kevinb120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Vic Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Shelby sued in the '80s. I think the reference is to that lawsuit, not a new one. I think he also sued over the Cobra II in the '70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the reference to the lawsuit I was talking about is for the current SAAC club being sued by the snake of a man Carrol Shelby. That is the main reason I think that the top of the line mustang should be labeled SVT or FPV or anything other that a name that no longer has any real meaning. He would put the name Shelby on a Prius if it would line his bank account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Its probably a guarantee that the next Mustang will be heavier than the current one. They just keep getting heavier and heavier...all cars seem to be. Just something to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just keep getting heavier and heavier...all cars seem to be. Just something to deal with. Well they get safer and quieter, hard to do that by taking away material. Mustang's are NOT that heavy, look up curb weights on German coupes. I looked at all these photos again and its really hard to pass judgement on the car until its in the flesh. Styling is subjective, and I think the Camaro concept looks like crap, but thats another story. Doesn't matter, the Mustang's sales won't change because of it, never has, never will.

Moby Vic Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Mustangs may not be that heavy compared to German coupes, but compared to previous Mustangs they are genuinely porky. My '95 GTS—which I thought was too heavy when I bought it compared to my '91 LX 5.0 hatchback—seems like a flyweight with its 3183 lb shipping weight now. I finally drove an S197 GT today (actually a GT/CS). It felt more like driving my '01 Crown Vic than like driving my '95 Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
