"H" Sighting

Hiker · 07-27-2006, 06:52 PM

While zippin across town this morning on I-10 I saw this guy coming out of the airport rental center. I had to catch up with the guy, he wasn't doggin it. Once he saw I was taking pics he ham'd it a little. I was surprised at how quiet the exhaust was. It was all engine noise. It did climb from 65-85 pretty good. The pics are not the best, I was holding 70 while shooting. I liked the stance, the Shelby drop looks good.

That's not a "Shelby Drop" on the new ones. They have the FRPP "Handling Pack" which lowers the car by 1.5"

Pretty sweet lookin. I saw one getting on I10 yesterday at baseline, just about broke my neck trying to get a good look at it

We had 2 of them at our show last Sunday. At $250 a pop (per day), it's a little expensive for me. They are pretty cool.

These cars are going to beat to hell within a year. The one I saw this morning was backfiring everytime the guy backed off the gas after flying by me....

Are the hood pins functional or just for show?

I saw two different GT-H's while driving home from Monterey last Friday. Only in passing, but I thought they looked pretty cool........hmm I wonder why.

Saw one on my way over to Miami last weekend. Guy was doing 65 in a 70. They have the FRPP performance 2 package on there which has a "throatier" exhaust, high perf oil filter, cold air intake and a computer retune. I like the side scoops and the hood with the hood pins. I will probably be ordering those parts for my 06 sometime in august. They're only pushing 20 more hp than a stock GT. Darn good lookin cars but I dont know that I would blow $250 a day to drive an automatic.

i was actually just reading an article in this months "Mustang Monthly". Hertz rental company is making only five hundred of em. They are part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the 66 gt350h. it has like a 6 page artical on em, so if u need any info on em, im sure i can find it in here.

**obsidianspider** · 07-28-2006, 09:42 PM

IIRC all of the original Hertz's were Automatics

67Rally · 07-29-2006, 01:16 AM

They're all automatics.

This one was at our Pony Trails event two weeks ago.

Sorry to slow down the download times...but I wanted to share the care I was going to rent until Hertz was set to charge me $350/day.
