1967 shelby gt500 vs gt500e

Hay everyone
Hope you are all well.
I just happened to watch a video of unique performance where they take a normal mustang and create the gt500e(eleanor) with all modern suspension coil over suspension, ect discs all round and the 427 supercharged 725hp motor from carroll shelby.
Now my question is does anyone know if any of the modern suspension mods they perform to the new eleanors from unique performance actually help the handling over an original shelby? do is help just a little or is there a big inprovment?
( i do believe that unique performance has shut down now)
Also what sort of top end speed do they get out of the big block version gt500e unique perormance offered?
Thanks for your time
Dave

Dave: Am I missing something here? I thought that ...

those guys from Unique were all crooks and have a future behind bars before them? Is there another Unique Performance? Am I thinking about a different scam? J. Bailey.

Hay all
hope all are well.
I do believe unique performance are finished but what im intrested in is what was done to little number of cars they produce(if any) or what the new rack and pinion , discs all round , coil over suspension and other moddifications you can do to the 67 mustangs/ shelbys, do they help inprove handling at all?
or does a normal 67 shelby still handle better stock than what it would with all this new modern suspension parts you can buy for the 67 mustang/shelby year?
thanks for all information
Have a good day
Dave

Drive a 67 Mustang then drive an 07 Mustang and see if you can tell the difference. Yes the upgrades make a difference. I put a rack on my 69 and it is a big improvement. Top end, not sure. It would depend on what trans. and what kind of gearing there is.
