I had the driveshaft installed and it drives great (feels a wee bit more responsive). With regards to checking the pinion angle, I'll have to reach out to my shop to find out if they did that. My '07 Shelby GT is still riding on the factory suspension setup which includes 1.5" lowering and...

SOLD in March 2023 to a S197 collector who also has multiple Boss 302's, Saleen S281 and Shelby Mustangs. The Gurney went to a good home!

Thanks John. I don't check this forum daily, so I'm including my email for interested buyers: [email protected] Adding more pics here.

I'm getting ready to buy the Ford Racing M-4602-MGTA driveshaft and have it installed in my 2007 Shelby GT. Any reason you guys would advise against it?

I am a 30-year car collector and we're selling my son's '08 Gurney to help him fund his last two years at college. H281 DAN GURNEY EDITION While Saleen planned to originally build 300 Dan Gurney Edition Mustangs -- but with the market crash of 2008, only 68 where built across all three colors...

Gents - can you educate me on the benefits of the Shaftmasters piece and if it would make sense for my 5-speed '07 Shelby GT? Is it the weight and reliability advantages of the 1-piece design? Anything else need to be replaced when the driveshaft is swapped?

The CS-40 is a super cool looking wheel because it combines retro and modern design elements. However, it’s a 20” wheel.

I'm considering buying a set of Shelby CS5 wheels (19 x 9.5) for our Saleen Dan Gurney Edition so that we can box the original Saleen wheels (19 x 9, 19 x 10) before they get damaged. The car came with 285 tires (square) and that's what I would put on the CS5's. You probably know what I have...

We originally put 255/45/17's (square) on the car but the speedometer/odometer calculation with off slightly due to the overall diameter being off by something like 5-6%. So I had to retreat to a 235/55/17 Continental Extreme Contract DWS06 to preserve the correct overall diameter. While the...

I thought I'd share some information that might be useful for anyone seeking more details on the 14" StopTech Aero brake upgrade kit that came on the Saleen Heritage, Dan Gurney Edition and (I think) Parnelli Jones models -- as I just had to replace the brakes on our Dan Gurney and Saleen quoted...

You could think about the Ford Racing suspension used in the Shelby GT's (1.5" lower, nice balance of cornering and comfort). Not as stiff/nasty as a serious Eibach or Bilstein track setup and you know the parts will fit your car.

How about the 1971 Mach 1 driven by James Bond in Diamonds are Forever?

Nope -- too much additional effort (especially for those that tend to add/sell cars every other year). I simply call them what they are: Shelby GT, Saleen Gurney, etc.

If anyone runs across a set of Saleen mufflers made by Edelbrock, I'm looking for a pair.

My oldest son opted for the Camaro SS (manual) instead of a GT500 -- partially because his girlfriend drives a SS (I nearly had all three of us in pony cars).

I bought a 2009 Bullitt in 2019 with 9K miles from the original owner. It was a super cool car and I miss it (I sold it in 2020) -- great exhaust note and "sleeper" look.

I've been collecting cars over 30 years (including many limited S197's) and am glad to have found the forum last year. Howdy from the Texas Hill Country.

The cost per wheel was $599 (much higher than the off-the-shelf VN215) -- but they are noticeably higher quality (I think made in the USA), when compared to the regular (offshore cast) Torque Thrust 2 wheel.

Sorry about the oversight in not publishing the wheel width: 8.5" So the wheels are 17 x 8.5 (114.3 lug spacing)

Picture from 2021 as we bought a pair of S197's for daily drivers and car meets.

The fuel filter is often over-looked, even by the dealership. My son's Saleen Gurney started running rough and losing fuel mileage (16mpg dropped to 11mpg) and the dealership looked at the fuel pump, injectors and everything else -- it ended up being the fuel filter. Mileage & performance were...

Earlier this year, I had American Racing build a custom set of Torque Thrust 2 wheels (VN215) for my 2007 Shelby GT to simulate the look of the 1966 Shelby GT350 (including the open center cap). I deliberately went with a 17" wheel (instead of 18") and subsequent matched the appropriate tire...

I took my 2009 Bullitt to my auto trim shop and they were able to remove the old adhesive and the foam that deteriorates -- as @Laga notes. We re-used the same leather and a year later it still looked great when I sold the car. I just bought a 2007 Shelby GT for me (and a 2008 Saleen Dan...

Periodically online to look for parts and exchange insights.

I've researched this issue extensively as I wanted to re-stripe my Shelby GT in blue and add a set of vintage Torq Thrust wheels to give it a throwback 1966 GT350 look. The only "standard wheel" option is to go to 17x8 and 25mm offset (pn: VN2157867). Otherwise, you are going to pay $500+ per...
