Hertz Shelby

[KM02SS]

A friend of mine rented a Hertz Shelby last weekend, we disabled the traction control and I drove it. Not very impressed, it was an AT and did not have near the torque as my 02 SS. As soon as I got back home from driving the Shelby I hopped in my car (M6) and took it for a drive, no way I'd trade my car for that OHC 4.6L crapper!! Maybe an 5 spd manual would have been more fun but no substitution for all that LS1 torque!!

[7camaro7]

torque is the kick right?

[ZAPFOOL!!]

torque is a good thing

[01blkformula]

torque is a good thing :yup:

it's just a gt with a intake...maybe a cheap catback

[nightstalker50]

it's just a gt with a intake...maybe a cheap catback

cheap is right ..its a stock h pipe thats been cut above the H and a X section clamped in its place. it also has a 90mm cold air intake and a performace tune and low restrictin mufflers .........as far as the intake its just a stock gt intake..all this gets you an exta 25 hp and 10 lbs of tq

silly mustangs

[senior gomez]

I'm sorry I guess I was mistaken, I thought Mustangs were still in production and F-body's weren't? :ughlaugh: :ughlaugh:

Man, I was considering buying an LS1, but it seems everyone with an LS1 thinks they are THE sh*t and gives no respect to other people/cars. If having an LS1 turns you into this, I'll keep my Mustang and just put the money into it to run 12's

I'm a little disappointed as well. I was a member here years ago when I had my turbocharged 99GT and people were cool. I never had too much trouble because my car was running 10s and many guys here were not. It is true that mustangs are still in production and selling by the tons with no slowdown in sight. There is more to a car than just straightline speed, but somehow that's not accepted by many hard heads. Also running 12s with a new mustang is easy. I ran 10s with my 99 GT while still on the stock longblock, transmission and rear.

Thank you. I feel exactly the same way. I love Mustangs, but that doesn't mean I believe they are the best, and rule the streets or some Sh*t like most of the people on here think about their LS1's, which as I said, are no longer in production, shit, even the Corral is more open-minded then this place. And like I said, if thats what owning an LS1 does to you, I don't want any part of it, take night-stalker for instance, I see how he decided to skip over the rest of my post and just single in on one part, ignorance.

As for Night_Stalker, Mustangs are considered rice here? Or is that just in your little fantasy world? F*cking idiot.

some one is a little bitter

[Pythias]

some one is a little bitter

Lol over what? The close-mindedness of most of the people on this site? Maybe I'm wrong though and it isn't most LS1 owners, maybe these are just a select few, I don't know, but I give respect where it is due. And whether I win or loose in a race I am never bitter about it, like oh that chevy piece or somethin, I respect almost all car and makes, except for the occasional guy in a stock honda civic, or like the other day I saw, Toyota Echo with a fart can that think they're somethin.

I just thought it would be cool to have T-tops and an LS1, but either way it doesn't matter, for the difference in money I would spend on an LS1 I could be hanging with them if not beating them.

that was not directed towards you ......it was for senior gomez about his comment of a mustang not being a real car.. like he would know what a real car is ....being that he drives rice

Not a stang hater, the 4.6 just doesn't have the torque the LS1 does. The Shelby was good lookin and fun to drive but I prefer a stick and really love that low end grunt.

[rajiv1998]

the only stang that has my respect is the 03-04 cobra.

are you f'ing kidding me ? how bought the boss 429..actually all the bosses, and the machs. man you gotta respect the cars that created this h/p and tq tangles.

[shady milkman]

oh shit i forgot about the shelby gt. 500 and 350

No but it also just doesn't have the cubes either, and the power curves are different, as in the 5.0.

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

The GT 500 is a joke for the price....a base c6 walks that pig all day long.

torque is a good thing

didnt Carroll Shelby say something along the lines of "Horsepower sells cars, but torque wins races"?

buddy screw the new ones..i'm talking old school. when a shelby was a shelby.

[7camaro7]

they could've done better with the gt500, with a name like that it should be walking atleast base vettes all day long. What's the point of buying a 500hp slow car? sounds nice but I wouldn't want it

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

ooohhhh....gotcha

looks...most people will buy a great looking mustang..not to mention like said before..hp sells cars it wouldnt matter if it was a tank and did a 1/4 in 15 secs if it had 500hp in the adds and a dealer point people will assume its fast :fire: then get burnt by vettes

Or you could buy a slp f-body and run 12's stock. You are right, the f-bodies are no longer in production. But yet the mustang still doesn't touch the out of production f-bodies in performance, handling, and overall appeal. I mean, come on, it is a stang.
Some fact, some opinion.

what the new shelby if its not a shelby :jerkit: :jerkit:

[shady milkman]

what the new shelby if its not a shelby :jerkit: :jerkit:

thats alot of jerkin buddy. I dont concider the new shelby a "true" shelby. from 65-67 is when they were true..with the exception of the KR. from 68-70 is were Ford had major control and little carrol shelby input. same as the new shelby..its pretty much only his name..ford designers and corperate penny pinchers took that shit over...now if the gt.500 was made like the Cobra R..that shit would be great. a true "race" derived car. no ac or radio..just a light ass car that had one goal..go fast and handle great. shelby was a legendary race car driver and car "designer"..now the new gt500 is a 500 hp crusier...ford had only one thing in mind with the gt500..make money and talor it towards creature comforts. but thats just my view..not fact.

[phatsat67]

ok jeez mustangs are going to get flamed on an ls1 site. chevys will get flamed on a ford or a mopar site. My 88 shelby csx-t is a real shelby:) #542. Those new hertz cars are really nice looking but the auto cars are no fun. Not bad for 4.6's my, friends auto drop top ran a 14.1. But it feels way slower than most because of the torque factor.
