Is the mustangs ride tolerable? That engine sounds wicked
I changed out the tires and that helped tremendously. These cars were designed and built for the track and as such they are going to ride “ tight”. living in mi no doubt challenges the comfort. Most folks who want a better ride go w the ZL1 which is a different animal
My Z only has 800 miles and the 427 sounds angry!

I remember Warren Johnson back in ‘80’s running a flat plane crankshaft for a short while in his 500-inch NHRA Pro Stocker and I couldn’t believe the drastic change in engine sound. Since then I’ve always been fascinated by them!

So, Charley's black R is a superlative low mile example. But, in my old age the radio and air con delete doesn't provide enuff creature comfort for my old carcass. If you are in the market for a truly track focused (straight line capability is great too) sports car, contact Charley.


Scott - I will be in touch wrt your offer.


Thanks all!

The GT350's and the 5.2 flat plane cranks are amazing cars. AMAZING. If you have ever hear one singing at 8000 rpm you would know what I mean

Are those sometimes referred to as 180 degree cranks??

Scott G is the man! He really stepped up and did a thorough check over of this Shelby for me. He did a nice job of giving me all the information I needed which led to me ultimately pulling the trigger on this car. I’m looking forward to seeing what this track monster is capable of.

Thanks again SCOTT!

Shelby is a 2017 and has 140 miles on it. Color is Lightning Blue, 6 spd, CF wheels, with back seat deleted. GM of a dealership in Tulsa bought it and took it directly from the trailer on delivery day to his garage at home. Still has plastic on the seats and stickers on the windows and “dealer prep“ will be left up to me!
