[QUOTE="TexasShelby, post: 9270289, member: 61338"] You can turn your GT into what I've called a GT499 for years now, there is one here in town that a dealership did and sold to a kid for almost what you could get a Shelby for. The reason why I know it's fake is because one night out I made a GTO look silly and later on in a parking lot the two kids came up and asked what in the world I had in it, I said not much over stock, and the driver replied BS, I just beat Shelby the other night...I smiled and said, perhaps he did, if the guy didn't know how to drive. The passenger then said something that gave it away...he said no, the reason why is because that shelby didn't have a blower on it...no whine like mine did when I blew by them....ahhhh I said....that's not a Shelby then, that a just a GT that has been badged. Not too long after that the kid with the GT499 pulled in and came directly over to me and asked to see mine and told me right up front that he'd give anything to have a "real" one, but his dad said that was as close as he was getting to one until he got out of college...smart dad I'd say...I've more than one wrapped around a tree with a kid that didn't know how to drive behind the wheel. One even racing in the rain????? [/QUOTE]
