The year was 1966 and there was a Texan in the White House, a guy
named Andretti earned rookie of the year honors at last year's Indy
500, and a former oilfield roughneck and retired chicken farmer
named Carroll Shelby was building hot Mustangs. Fast forward to
2007 there is a Texan in the White House, a guy named Andretti
earned rookie of the year honors at last year's Indy 500, and a
former oilfield roughneck and retired chicken farmer named Carroll
Shelby is (once again) building hot Mustangs. These cars start life
as a regular Mustang GT, built in the Flat Rock, Michigan assembly
plant, and is then shipped to the Shelby factory in Las Vegas for
the transformation to a Shelby GT. When it comes out the other
side, the 4.6-liter V-8 makes 319 horsepower, a gain of 19 ponies
over a Mustang GT. This specific pony boasts a Ford Racing Whipple
W140AX 2.3 Liter twin screw intercooled supercharger. Extra
hardware includes a cold-air intake; a slightly more aggressive
engine computer tune, a high-flow exhaust; a welcome
inch-and-a-half drop with stiffer shocks, springs, and anti-roll
bars front and rear; and a short-throw Hurst shifter for the
five-speed manual. This Shelby wears the Mustang GT's optional
18-inch wheels and P235/50ZR-18 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A all-season
tires. The GT wears the GT-H's brushed aluminum grille, and the
hood gets a riveted-on scoop. You can view this 2007 Ford Mustang
Shelby GT in greater detail including HD pictures and an HD video
