    Roush makes a 3.0 Liter that will NOT void your Warranty.

    I just got a 07 Shelby GT and I want to throw in a supercharger this summer. Does Shelby offer this for my car? any suggestions?

    The Hertz was slugish probably because Hertz did a re-program and you can not switch off the Traction Control/Over Drive. Thier is supposed to be something inside the Console by the Shifter that lets you switch off the Traction Control/Over Drive. I seen this in one of my Mustang Monthly magazines a while back.

    YES. visit www.teamshelby.com. It is a complete Package and you have a couple of Sc's to choose from to.

    You may want to consider having one of the Shelby performance centers convert it to a ShelbyGTSC. That way it is considered a change in model rather than a bolt on.
    Regarding the GT vs GT500 issue, I've driven both and they are both great cars but the performance difference is like a C code to a SCJ.

    Just remember that the 4.6 liter's bottom end is not as strong as the 5.4's. So don't go too big on boost, or the "clunk" you drive over may be your crankshaft.
    I was thinking about doing the same thing, I was looking at the Paxton. Keep in mind that you will lose the Ford Factory warranty on the motor, and any problems may or may not be covered by Paxton (or Whipple).
    Good Luck.
