    Help needed...5.8L Shelby engine block part numbers

    I am wanting to pick up an extra brand new 5.8L Shelby aluminum engine block to keep with my car, just in case. The Ford Racing P/N was M-6010-M58A but that part was discontinued after a year and is no longer available. However, the actual Ford P/N: DR3Z-6010-A is still available AND I have...

    Weight increase on new Mustang went up, wonder how much the SVT car will be?

    I'm sure most of you all saw yesterday but if not the weight of the new Mustang V6, EcoBoost and GT were released; with the new V6 and GT being HEAVIER than the model it replaces. I know several on this board were sure the new Mustang would come in at 3,400ish lbs which I said all along was a...

    Why would anyone sell the original parts off their car??

    I just don't get it. I see ads almost daily on here, other forums, and especially on Ebay for the sale of original parts (typically wheels, exhaust, or superchargers) taken off of a 2013/2014 Shelby GT500 (or any Mustang for that matter) and I can't believe it! Why would anyone in their right...

    Finally...tomorrow I'm getting to take that cruise with my Dad

    Although I had pretty much stopped driving my 2013 Shelby GT500 for the season, I'm dusting it off for a big drive tomorrow. So it just so happened that my folks are in town this weekend (they live several hours away) and I have been wanting to take my Father on a nice scenic cruise or roadtrip...

    THE FUTURE COLLECTIBILITY AND VALUE OF OUR 2013/2014 SHELBY GT500s...

    OKAY...I've commented on enough threads regarding the future values of 2013/2014 Shelby GT500's already, but since the topic keeps popping up I finally decided it was time to address it in it's own thread. Feel free to disagree and I will attempt to respond to everyone's educated counter opions...

    The 2013 Talladega Superspeedway Pace Car!

    You all may have already seen this, but I don't see it posted below. It's pretty cool that a 2013 Shelby GT500 is going to be the actual pace car at Talladega! Devious...I believe a 2013 equipped such as this would be a great work vehicle for both you and I! ;-)...

    Looks like a new mileage record for a 2013 Shelby GT500!!!

    LoL, I found this car while searching Ebay for the current crop of 2013 Shelby GT500's listed on there. I believe the car only has the electronics package and the shaker pro, yet the dealer is wanting $63,000. Oh, and one more thing...it has JUST 14,000 miles on it!! :eek: That's right...

    Check engine light came on today...

    So my 2013 Shelby GT500 just crossed over the 1,000 mile mark and the check engine light came on today. I know I need to do a review soon but I've been so busy loving my new sweet ride! Anyway, I tried turning the car off and restarting it and that didn't make the light disappear. It drives...

    Cannot wait!

    To see my 13 Shelby for the first time tomorrow!!! :banana: It arrived 21 weeks after I had ordered it on Tues. My dealer just had it unloaded from the truck and put away in their service dept., untouched per my request. Due to my crazy work schedule this week (as well as my Fiance who said...

    Excellent 5 year Financing Option...

    I know most of you on here have heard of Pentagon Federal Credit Union (Penfed.org) but some may not. Currently their 5 year rate with excellent credit was only 1.49%. However, during the month of October only they are running an even lower .99% rate for 5 years! :banana: I applied Wed...

    So many different production dates for my Shelby?!

    So a couple weeks ago I finally received my VIN and was told my Shelby order would be built during the week of Oct. 15th. About a week or so ago I was told by Ford SVT that the build date would be 10/08. And then yesterday I was finally able to pull up my window sticker with my VIN and that...

    New Wheels & Tires for my 2013 Shelby GT500

    So I have had these new wheels about a month in my garage while I sit and wait for my 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 to be built and delivered. LOL, they sit in a corner with the new Lloyd floormats and cargo mat, Red Line Tuning hood struts, Airaid oiless air filter, and the Ford Racing Resonator...

    11 weeks in the order system and still nothing...

    I ordered my 13 Shelby GT500 on 06/13 from a very small dealer in Northern AL and received the DORA that same day. My order is still in order processing. I realize that quite a few who ordered before me are still either waiting to get their ride or waited up to 20 weeks before they got theirs...

    New handling video for the 2013 Shelby GT500 released by Ford...

    Found this cool short video that apparently Ford apparently just released. There aren't any discussions during the video but it is still pretty cool to see our GT500 going around VIR. Also, and more importantly to me than the handling of the car, I noticed one of the two test vehicles in this...

    Newbie on the forum here, and I just ordered a 2013 Shelby GT500!

    I'm sure there is an introduction section and I posted the below initially on the owner poll sticky above but I thought I'd introduce myself here since this is where I will spend most of my time. :) I am 33 and a Fed Agent too (US Special Agent). I've had one Mustang (a 93) and my current...
