@@AlejandroP1980s Well I don't have a 99.That was a bad year. I have rare mustangs and very fast 04 TERMINATOR 2 SUPER SNAKES AND A VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA AND A 08 GT500.
I sold my 2008 Shelby last year when my wife and I found out we were expecting, thankfully I'm able to buy another this month. Thank you Carroll, you were ahead of your day!
Wow I’m just now seeing these comments. Thank you. I didn’t end up getting another Shelby. Instead I bought my actual old high school/college car back…1972 Chevelle SS.
...his voice is magical Why you ask? That was the voice that talked to Henry Ford II... the voice that spoke to Ken Miles... the voice that yelled at his pit crew in Le Mans...I could keep going on....and on... Love you Man... ty for my GT350 sir!!!! It's been my honor!
Could you imagine all of the race legends and car people who've passed before sitting talking cars and Mr Shelby enters the room. Porsche, Ferrari, Ford etc. you know the room would silence in respect. Then the stories and memories and ideas you'd hear.
BACK IN 07 WHEN THIS CAR CAME OUT LOL DEALERSHIPS WERE MARKING THEM UP AT LEAST 20 GRAND AND AS MUCH AS 30GRAND OVER STICKER AND I WANTED A 07 GT500 BUT I COULDNT AFFORD ONE BUT MANY YEARS LATER LOL I HAVE A 08 GT500 ALONG WITH 2 SUPER SNAKES AND MY 07 SHELBY GT.
be not being able to experience what this man experienced when he says “40 years ago” makes me want to go back and see what he means you can tell he’d love to go back in time , RIP LEGEND 🙏🏼
I notice a couple of dislikes against the Shelby... Jealousy from the competition.. obviosly.. I've driven a lot of fast cars, but Shelby Mustangs are fantastic performace vehicles

0:57 so strange to hear him announce it as a Shelby “Cobra” GT500. Cobra is not in the name at all. Did they intend to use the Cobra name or was this a mistake on his part?
Its basically the cobra since 2010ish..whenever they stopped making mustang cobras and went with the shelby gt500/350 name. But these new Shelbys are way over saturated vs the very low production of the original shelby mustangs.
It was supposed to be the new svt cobra...everyone was waiting for it....then they got carroll on board and used the shelby gt500 name instead but it was basically a 2007 svt cobra so it could have been a mistake or he could have just said that to kinda let ppl know it was like a next generation svt cobra with a different name because at the time everyone was waiting for the new cobra to come since the last svt cobra in 2004. Not sure honestly.
FOR A MODERN DAY MUSTANG THERE REALLY ISN'T AS MANY AS YOU THINK.I HAVE A 07 427 EDITION CONVERTABLE SUPERSNAKE AND IT'S ONE OF 7 BUILT IN TORCH RED AND IT WAS 0NE OF 91 CONVERTABLES BUILT WITH SILVER STRIPES SO AS A 427 EDITION SUPERSNAKE IT'S RARE.THEN MY 10 GRABBER BLUE SUPERSNAKE WAS 1 OF 10 SUPERSNAKES BUILT IN GRABBER BLUE. LOL EVEN MY 07 SHELBY GT IS A RARE CAR.
I LOVE MY 08 GT500 THAT HAS 850HP AND MY TRANNY NO PROBLEM AND I HAVE A 07 427 EDITION CONVERTIBLE SUPER SNAKE AND GUESS WHAT NO PROBLEM AND LASTLY MY GRABBER BLUE KENNY BELL COUPE SUPER SNAKE 900HP PLUS AND YOU GUESSED IT NO PROBLEM AND MY 07 SHELBY GT WITH A 5SPD NOOO PROBLEM HATER LOL
They were rated 500 they dyno 420-470 depends on the dyno weather it's stingy or a happy dyno and what the temp is since it's forced induction. They easily met their performance goals which is why they restricted this car so much. They gain 100-150+ rwhp easily with simple bolt ons and just an intake and tune gives them 80 rwhp. This was so they could easily "upgrade" it in later years giving them more power making the later ones seem "better" which is exactly what they did. Fbo vs fbo 07-12 make the exact same power and when they have the same blower and supporting mods they make comparable power to even 13-14. They kept doing minor stuff to the intake and tune to give them more power in later years then people would see fbo 2012s making the same power as fbo 2007s and people said why they start out 50 hp ahead? I mean the older ones are just more restricted and gain more from mods and end up in the same place in the end. They held the early ones back because they over shot their power goals even with it being restricted this enabled those easy "upgrades" in later years.
If this is the 2007 Shelby GT500, I wonder when they changed the Hood Heat Extractors, which looks similar to the 03/04 Hood Heat Extractors, to the smaller ones you mostly see on the S197 07-09 Shelby GT500's!...R.I.P. Shelby and God Bless!
After having 3 Saleen mustangs, I traded in my Dodge Challenger srt8 6.4 for this exact car. Same color 07 year license was SNNNAKE only had 750 miles on it when someone traded it in for a ZR1. Car was beautiful . Later I bought a Z06 to go with this. Had to sell them both because I went broke due to poor money handling. I miss my GT 500. Only had 23,000 miles on it when I sold it to Car Max. This Shelby was beautiful Red with white stripes. No comparison to the Saleen Mustangs. This was a classy and fast car. I also had 2 Ford lightnings.
I said the same but im thinking maybe some of this stuff wasnt ironed out yet when this was filmed. Im not 100% sure but the wheels kinda do look like they have slightly lower profile tires than you normally see on these so its possible those could have been 19 inch versions of the same stype wheel and they later changed and went with 18s. They also may have chosen the tr6060 later as that was the trans they were using in the fr500c race cars of the mid 2000s...at this time it was real early on because they didnt even have the exact hp specs figured out yet. This is all maybes im not 100%on any of this just a thought.
RIP to the great Carol Shelby
May performance be his business forever
The best looking modern day mustang body style
Not only great looking my 08 gt500 ran a 9.77 at 144mph and that makes the car very fast.

What is on the fender,?
In late 1967 Ford bought the rights to use the name "cobra" from Shelby, and in 1968 the Shelby mustang were called Shelby cobra GT 350 and GT 500.
It was supposed to be the new svt cobra...everyone was waiting for it....then they got carroll on board and used the shelby gt500 name instead but it was basically a 2007 svt cobra so it could have been a mistake or he could have just said that to kinda let ppl know it was like a next generation svt cobra with a different name because at the time everyone was waiting for the new cobra to come since the last svt cobra in 2004.

Skip to 4:31 to hear Carroll speaking.
They made well over 500 horsepower when they came out 😎

This was a pre production car it was prob changed sometime after this design was never on production cars far as I know.
Thank you Carol Shelby and may God bless you as you are a real and true ledgen love both my GT 500 Shelby's !
Had one. I,m convinced it was going to kill me. Hell of a car.
