Getting a 2010 GT500 tomorrow or Friday

[lubrizolsfin3st]

With that said I have owned several Ford SVT vehicles. I've owned a 1998 LX w/ 2004 cobra drivetrain. Some mods dyno'd at 470 and 560 with a 100 shot. Also a 2001 L with lots of mods, a blast to drive but was going to move up north and didn't want to take it with me. Well I didn't move up north but now going to buy this 2010 GT500 from Texas Direct Auto. Only mod I can see that it has is a JLT CAI. Everything else is factory and man was a blast to drive. Does anyone know about this specific car? I know the first mods I'll do to it is the typical 2.6 pulley, sct tuner, spark plugs, and maybe a cat back exhaust. Here is the VIN 1ZVBP8JS2A5159882.

Don't know anything about this specific car, but you are going to love it.
I will say you may want to hold off on getting a cat back. I loved the sound of my GT500 but just wanted it a little louder. i went with an OR X from Leathal and it was exactly what I was looking for. Id start there with the exhaust and go from there. Either way, welcome to the GT500 club.

I hate the 05-09 style but the shelby's of this era kick. NIce find!

Too late, already put a deposit on it this morning.








jk.

The stripes are aftermarket.

 

[lubrizolsfin3st]

Well I put the deposit on it Tuesday but how can u tell they are aftermarket and not factory

 

[lubrizolsfin3st]

Ok I found the thread on the GT500's, the previous owner wanted them possibly and also to be different I guess

Nice car, congrats!
The GT500 script under the cobra emblems is different from the factory script.

Nice find. Definatley put a JLT catch can on it.The Lethal off road pipe is a easy bolt on if you want more exhaust tone.I went with the H pipe because they said it had a less raspy sound. Either one is good XorH. No drone and really sounds great. Let the mods begin.

Ford inventory service says your VIN is invalid: http://www.inventory.ford.com/services/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin=1ZVBP8JS2A5159882

 

[lubrizolsfin3st]

That's kinda strange

 

[Saikodi]

That's kinda strange

Yeah. I must have looked up at least a 100 VINs and this is the first time I got this error.

 

[luke1333]

mirrors should be white right?


by vin car is a true gt500 according to ford parts catalog in white but i believe mirrors and stripes are wrong

 

[lubrizolsfin3st]

Yup the mirrors had the vinyl wrap on them just took them off

 

[lubrizolsfin3st]

My brother is taking some pics of it now with his camera. Here is what I took with iPhone

Before I went I bought a bunch of parts for it, let the modding begin.

The stripes are in great condition but can tell they were added also no Shelby on the back under the truck area. Sounds like a boat to me, actually pretty quiet while driving. I will get the bigger items in a few weeks like TVS, dual fan exchanger, springs, and meth injection. But did order this before picking up; AeroForce Interceptor with vent pod, Raptor shift light, LFP intercooler tank, JLT driver and passenger oil separator. No pulley or tuner yet. I think I'll just hold off till I get the 13/14 GT500 blower.
