Hello all,
I am using this thread as an intro / picture thread. I have had my GT500 for about two months now and still have a huge grin on my face. I have had several sports cars over the last few years but none as enjoyable as the SHELBY. I am not new to the Mustang club. My first car was a white fox body LX and recently I have owned a 427R.
I picked this car up knowing it would need some TLC. It had been hit in the rear and had some shotty body/paint work done. The after market Lamans stripes were faded and peeling. I wanted them off anyway since the car was originally ordered as a "stripe delete." After pulling them off I found some etching in the clear on the hood and front bumper so I had those redone as well. Since getting it back from the body shop I have dropped it on the FRPP springs, added SLP loudmouths, Steeda CAI, Ported and Polished (Steggy) Eaton 112, VMP 2.59 upper and 10% lower, BMR upper and lower CA, stretched the SHELBY letters across the back and other bits and pieces.
My next mod is a set of Vossen CV3 concave 20" wheels with Nitto Invo tires. I know many do not like the bigger wheel on the S197 but I am a fan. These wheels are LIGHT! They actually weigh a smidge under the stockers with tires. I will be sure to post up some pictures with the combo on later this week. Now for the pictures:
The day I brought her home:
My first show and first win!
After 60 days of TLC and LOTS of buffing/polishing and REJEX!
A short video of the Vossen CV3's that are going on the car this Thursday.
