Haha sorry man. But I speak the truth. Have u ever driven one? A 5.0? Or the shelby? I u haven't driven a shelby, don't. U will end signing. Lol. But sounds like ur wife is allowing u to get a new shelby???? If so, jump buddy. The shelby is THAT good.

that makes sense Steve. I forgot about the different tranny for the shelby, its tremec. But it just felt so good man. Have u or Dan driven a shelby? Try to

BTW, I spoke to mgw, they are shipping next week. Wootwoot. Also I asked him about how it will feel after install, comparing std 5.0 to shelby stock. He said should be better than stock shelby even....should be even smooooother. I'm stoked.

Btw, should I buy the optional heat shield? I already bought the mgw shiftknob too he said the heat shield is to further isolate heat and sound. But i kindda want to hear my exhaust inside car... Lol. Heat shield is 25 bucks. Yay or nay?
