Shelby fanatics have waited more than four decades for a new GT350! Beginning in 1965, Ford Mustang GT fastbacks rolled into the Shelby American facility near Los Angeles International Airport. Carroll Shelby and his band of racers, mechanics, fabricators, and engineers then turned them into legend. Ford took over the Shelby Mustang program for 1968, and it was all over just two years later. Ever since Ford and Shelby got back together (for the Shelby-built GT-H Hertz rental program in 2006 and the Ford SVT-produced GT500 beginning in 2007), people have asked the question: "When will the GT350 return?"
The answer is: Now.
The 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 has made it possible. This Camaro fighter, packing all the design revisions and hardware upgrades of the 2010 model plus Ford's new 5.0-liter, DOHC, all-aluminum V-8, gave today's Shelby American (formerly Shelby Automobiles) the foundation it needed to reseed the icon. It's white-with-blue-stripes time, all over again.

They ship parts daily to the US and Canada. Realspeed Automotive also provides complete installation and dyno tuning services. "Realspeed stocks parts that we can offer experienced advice because we’ve used them ourselves".

Realspeed is now offering StangFreak.com Forum members a 5% Discount. Check out the StangFreak Forum for the Realspeed Discount Code and order your parts today. "Dyno testing and tuning is available on our state-of the art Mustang MD1100-SE Dyno". The Mustang dyno incorporates an eddy current load controller to simulate the actual load (combined aerodynamic drag, rolling friction, and vehicle inertia [weight]) the vehicle experiences while driving on the street or racetrack. This allows for more accurate tuning under conditions that match the real world. These conditions can not be simulated by an inertia-only dyno. Realspeed is Long Island's only tuner certified with SCT's advanced "Calibrator" status.
Realspeed Automotive was founded by Dan Carlson to provide the highest quality parts and customer service to Mustang and Ford Enthusiasts.
Mr. Carlson spent a decade designing parts for one of the best-known names in the Mustang industry before forming Realspeed Automotive in 2004. Over the years he has been quoted as a source for technical information in over 2-dozen magazine articles for Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, 5.0, Superford, Mustang Monthly and Mustang Illustrated, as well as books such as Mustang Chassis, Driveline & Suspension Tuning by HPBooks
