anyone know whats goin on here?

News to me. :think:

Something to do with this maybe...

...and we think our test car’s supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 was a tad soft, a suspicion enhanced by a nasty ticking noise coming from the engine. Exhaust leak? Or…?


This was taken from a C&D article on the GT500 'vert, but it is the same piece under the hood.

BTW, 4008 lbs! What a pig.

Maybe it's because it's turned out to be an embarassment :shrug:

Kwality is job . . . something.

Oh boy:rolleyes:. I predict A LOT more people are going to be banned from the SVT forums in the near future over this one!! :lol:

Maybe the car can't handle its own weight, and they're all having heart attacks?!?!?:shock:

Slap a bump stick in that bad boy and you'll have nothin to worry about :D

Apparently no one knows if this is true or not at the moment. In that thread they have this:

"There are several rumors on various web sites about Ford issuing a STOP ORDER shipment for the 2007 Shelby Mustang GT500. Despite those rumors, Ford told StangsUnleashed.com today that they have NOT issued a STOP ORDER shipment for the GT500 and that they are shipping to Ford dealers. In August 2006, Ford shipped over 800 Shelby GT500s from their AutoAlliance assembly plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. The August 2006 sales period marked the highest August sales month for the Mustang since 1979"
