Just placed a deposit on a new 2013 Shelby GT500 in Deep Impact Blue with white stripe and am very excited. I'm off to the USA to work for 3 years from January so have ordered it over there.

One of these ( Shelby GT500) pulled up next to me this morning in Kingston u Thames , looked and sounded fantastic, did a google search and found a video of a road test done in the States including a dyno test which gave some amazing results .

Have fun with yours .

Looks stunning. How did you go about ordering it? Went into a Ford dealer while in the US and explained what you wanted to do?

Just curious, not looking to do anything at the moment, however in the future I might consider importing something. Won't be for years though.

A good friend has this exact Shelby, he's a gearhead, like myself, and has added a 3.8L KenneBell supercharger and OTHER MODIFICATIONS. On the dyno it produced 901 rwhp. It's amazng that while riding in it at 70 MPH in third gear, he can spin the wheels with absolutely no problem....all he does is biggrin
