I have had similar issue as well as lack of shifting gears that both turned out to be faulty old cracked vacuum hose.  Leaks too small to see on inspection but changed the hse and clamps and problems solved.

This leaves open the possibility for the SA shop to come out with a new GT500KR toy after the latest Super Snake series is done.

There is a lot of information posted on the new Mustang GTD, Dark Horse and 2024 Shelby Super Snake, but I have not found anything on the 2024 GT500KR.   8)

So who is producing the new GT500KR and what are the specs on it? 8)

The new Shelby American 2024 GT500KR will unveiled on Thursday, April 18 at Barrett-Jackson Palm Springs.  If it is an auction for the first production unit, I expect it will go for an insane ransom.  Will you be there to bid? 8)

Maybe we can get bits of the building as souvenirs for a nominal fee (or is it phenominal?).  I had not seen this closing posted elsewhere.  So where are OVC, Shelby Licensing, THe Foundation, Shelby Enterprises and the Team Shelby folks going?   8)

Take a well deserved bow for an excellent result to a chalenging job.  Thank you for the updated version that did not lose any past discussions.   8)

That sounds about right.  It explains why all the early SAAC Does Vegas used the Imperial Palace as the host Hotel and dinner location.  After the track ownership switch the host hotel changed to a different location each year. Those SAAC mini-conventions were some of the best to have track time, see CS, check out the new Shelby American operations and enjoy a smaller but fun gathering.  But having them in the middle of winter, usually around News Years Day weekend, made it for very chilly days at the track.

After the first year that Shelby's team took over we stopped attending due to comments previously posted about the switch from SAAC operating the event. 8)

The annual event is the Team Shelby similar but smaller version of a SAAC convention with various events, shows, dinners, etc.  While it features mostly the SA cars that are the later generation, many early Shelbys attend.  Also, some of the speakers are ones that we have had at SAAC events.  At least it keeps the Shelby interest going for the newer generation.  It has never been convient for me to attend, though I have thought of it and visited the SA folks about once a year since they started up in LV back in 1996.   8)
