650 miles on the newly built motor!!!


If I keep this through winter I will be pulling it off come Spring as I will likely have met my financial goals without getting rid of this sexy monster FYI.

Hi all,

It brings immense pain and emotional duress to me to sell my beloved never-wrecked 2011 GT500. I'm now looking to get into a new house with marriage and children in the near future. I purchased the car several years ago and after putting some fun miles on it stock, I decided to build it into the gorgeous beast it is today. The car had 13,500 miles on it before the build. It currently has 2,000 miles on it from its brand new build from ground up.

This car has been built top to bottom and inside and out to be the monster it is and be able to lay down its power. MPR ,builders of Lethal Performances King of the Street winning GT500 and the worlds fastest Ford GT, built the Engine and other components. Ken Bjonnes from LUND RACING tuned the car producing 1,050 RWHP on only 24lbs of boost on E85. This car is scary at 1/2 throttle....very..but drives like butter. Could daily drive it honestly it drives so smooth. The power comes on at about 2/3rd throttle and will make an impression of the back of your head in your headrest everytime you goose it.

Engine was built to withstand 30lbs boost. Here is the build list.

I have EVERY LAST PENNY in receipts that's been done to this car. North of $47,000 in parts and labor spent on an already monstrous vehicle!!! There has been no expense spared in the build of this car!

The car is an ABSOLUTE animal, and unless you ride in it or drive it you'll never understand what the whiplash feels like of a 1000+ RWHP car.

PM me if interested and if you would like to look at the car/drive it etc.

OBD port hanging down is for the dual Aeroforce Interceptors which are only unplugged so I can log the car. The car is 10/10 inside despite the dirty look in the picture. I only weigh 160 lbs so the seat is in excellent condition as well:

Same with the side splitters, rockers and front splitter....plus a shot of the stock wheels from a 13* painted matte black:

decals are all done and look amazing with everything together. Note before that the hood is Matte black on the cowl separated from the rest of the glass black surface by a small red pinstripe. All the matte and gloss portions with touches of red look insane and are not too much or overbearing in any fashion:

NOTE: There was a trunk mount methanol kit hooked up at one point but then I decided to run E85 so it was no longer needed. The lines you see are plugged at the elbow now with black plugs.

Geeez what an awesome shelby man. No way you could work it into the budget to keep it? You've done so much to it.

Yeah, the car is worth a lot more to me than what I have it for sale for. Sadly I know the reality of return on investment with car parts :/ I can work it in the budget, but I also could really use the extra dough.

Sorry man. I dont think I can imagine the pain. Whoever is going to get the car should consider them extremely lucky. Perhaps once in a life time opportunity to own an awesome car like this for such a low price. Wow.

Thanks Saikodi!!!! I agree, there is absolutely no way to build this same car for this price....even with a stock 2011 for 40k with the same miles if someone is soo lucky they'll never be able to make the same monster for close to what I will let her go for. Not to mention the time involved with over a year start to finish that the new owner can avoid.

Absolutely!!! Anyone who is in the market for a 2013/2014 should probably get your car instead. :banana:

This will be a blast. I am going to pick and choose one or two mods here and there from your laundry list of mods. :)

PMs replied to. Thread does say "OBO" but please note that I don't have to sell the car, I just want to better position myself financially.

Good luck with the sale. Your car is worth more than 60k.

Wish you all the best with the future events. Cars are replaceable. Hope you still make it over to Shelbyfest.

PMs responded to. I have all of the build specs from ring clearance to cam specs and degree for intake exhaust. Original cam/rods/piston receipts from the builder. Builder is TOP NOTCH. Just look at most any high power modular motor doing work later and you will see that Tim Eichorn and MPR racing have some part in the build!
