This shows the car's configuration within just a few minutes prior to taking delivery. It couldn't have been more than about one year and two weeks ago (2008-09-01), but I found time and occasion to:

• Add the Steeda front sway bar bracket braces.

  "...into the Shelby Terlinguafest..."

  
  
  
• Move the H&R 26mm rear sway bar from the V6 Canvertible, for much nicer turn-in.
  
  
• Add the Shelby two-bar, four-nuts-per-side strut tower brace.
  
  
• Insinuate the very nice GT/CS coupe into the Shelby Terlinguafest at the eponymous West Texas community, 2009-09-25/29.
  
  
• Try that set of Saleen Parnelli Jones Edition Minilite-like wheels (from eBaY: 19x9 for the front, 19x10 for the rear (remember when we would kill for rims seven inches wide?). Put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 275-35 tires that look, stick, and travel good. Their $1,600 price tag brought this little improvement up to about $2,600 total. Worth every penny). They look on the High Performance White GT/CS.
  
  
• Buy and install a K&N "Typhoon" CARB exempt cooler air intake.
  
  
• Have installed the Ford Racing Performance Parts M-5230-GTA axle-back mufflers, just like on the Shelby GT, previously on the V6 convertible. They sound good, and add a little to the shift-by-ear equation that was upset by the "quiet" stock rolled-tip mufflers. That made it just right.

• Pending

  "...To Be Continued..."

  
  
  

  "...More anon..."
