Check Out the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang Gt500kr

Jean Cocteau once said "A car can massage organs which no masseur can reach. It is the one remedy for the disorders of the great sympathetic nervous system." Jean Cocteau found automobiles to be a masseur of the whole body. I bet Jean was probably talking about a Ford Mustang when he was writing this quote. Now if you want to find a Mustang that will give you the best message then you should ride in the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR.

The 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR is a special-edition GT500 in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the original "King of the Road." The GT500KR is a product after the GT500 to wear the mostly extinct SVT Badge trying to prove to us that Ford still has a performance division.

The 1967 New York auto show host the launch of the original Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR that is powered by a 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet V-8 engine with 335 horsepower. The 2008 Shelby KR models are supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 engine under the hood with a Ford Power Upgrade Pack that comes with revised ignition timing and throttle calibration. The 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR that over takes the older model by 205 horsepower.

Other than the racing stripes and hood vents the other Shelby GT500's have, the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR comes with a signature hood with two forward looking mail slots at the leading edge of the hood feeding the blown 5.4's appetite for air and twist-down hood pins for a more secure racing genius.

The test done recently on the Shelby GT badge did not go well when the stick through pins of the badge vibrated out on rough terrain. The badges used on the Cobra grille and fenders have wings on them in celebration of the 40th anniversary GT500KR edition. The rocker stripes on the GT500KR are the same as it predecessor.

They have a Triton engine that uses four valves per cylinder instead of three that are used in the iron block truck version and they use the cylinder heads from the Ford GT, that has a aluminum block.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe once said "There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternally new now that builds and creates itself out of the Best as the past withdraws." So remember these thoughts when thinking about purchasing the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR. It will not last forever.

They are only going to produce one thousand of these, they will being selling the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR in Spring. You can probably bet with the S word on the hood and a power bump should have about $12,000 premium, putting the King of the Road about $50,000 area.

The director of the advanced product creation and SVT division of ford Hermann Salenbauch said the Shelby GT500 is one of the most successful cars they have ever made in almost every way.
