GT500 KR & Nissan GT-R in one day

[Moose]

I was out doing alot of "running around" today and...

I was returning a car which I detailed to it's owner, when I looked over at the Ford dealer which I was stopped in front of, and they were parking a red, Mustang GT500 KR in the showroom.

Then, I went to pick up the SS at a buddies shop, and while out for a "joy ride", I spotted a Nissan GT-R across the intersection, waiting at a light.

Some I'm thinking, "Wow! Two unique cars, spotted in one day."

Finally, as I'm headed home in the SS, at the next light, while waiting for it to turn green, I look over at the young lady in the car next to me, and she smiles and says "Nice car!"



Those two cars don't seem so cool now!

There is more to it than that. But any GT500 owner can bump his 500hp/480ft/lbs up to the KR's 540hp/510ft/lbs just by adding FRPP kit #M-2007-FR1SVT. The kit adds the exact same 113mm Mass Air Meter, ProCal tuner with the exact same KR computer program, and the same 304 stainless steel axleback mufflers (for the KR's deeper and "throatier" exhaust note) that Shelby Automtive adds to stock GT500s to convert them into GT500KRs.

I'm stopping by the dealer to take a closer look tonight. Will post some pics. I believe this is the KR in the showroom;

I had one of those days too. I was running around from junk yard to yard witha buddy and I saw a white GTR on a car carrier and then I saw a cyber gray Zr1 about a half hour after.
