MrFarmdog's 2007 Shelby GT500

Here is a link to my You Tube video!

Welcome and I hope you all like my 2007 Shelby GT500. When I first bought my car in March my goal was to have a 10 second street cruiser, and for me a convertible was the only choice! I loved the look of the LeMans stripes on the coupes but they did not come on convertibles so I bought them and installed them myself. Now I feel it actually looks like a Shelby instead of just another Mustang convertible.

I have really enjoyed my car. In the past 6 months I have put over 8,500 miles on it, most of which have been Shelby related trips or vacations. It has been a blast to drive and is a real head turner, especially when I rip loose with the 703 RWHP (Thanks Kenny Bell!). The car has seen it's fair share of time at the track as well and I am very close to reaching my goal of having a 10 second cruiser!

Thanks again for reading and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

BMR Lower Control Arms
BMR LCA Relocation Brackets
BMR Swaybar Relocation Brackets
QA1 adjustable rear shocks

Power - Kenny Bell 2.8 Supercharger with 3 inch pulley (Added ~300 RWHP)
Line Lock - Granatelli Tire Fryer Line Lock (heat tires up at the track without burning up clutch)
Shifter - Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter (better shifting performance - less missed shifts)
Exhaust - FRPP GT5 Axle Back Race Mufflers (Makes the car sound like it should with 700+ RWHP)

Raptor Shift Light (Don’t forget to shift at the track!)

Appearance Mods

Shelby Signature on Dash (Uniqueness of having a car signed by Carroll Shelby)
Tungsten Stripes (Convertibles do not come with stripes from the factory)
Window Tint (Blackens out the car and makes it look mean)
Shelby Floor and Trunk Mats (Adds a nice finishing touch to the cars interior)
Steeda Hood Struts (No more prop rod – need a say more?)
