I am betting they'll be the first to sport Shelby's '66 GT350 dual track stripes.

From the shadow image the '05 looks to have a 'ducktail' and a deep front spoiler!

Thanks for posting!

Man that thing is going to rock on the road. My guess is that because of how the front spoiler looks, that Roush probably designed some serious bolt-ons for the stang.

As for the Shelby style strips my guss is that they will be leaving those for the Shelby editions. Lets not forget that Ford gave Carrol 2 preproduction GT's to work from, when Roush, Steeda, and Saleen only got 1 each.

That would led me to believe 2 editions to come from Shelby himself. Can anyone say, "GT350 and GT500?"

One being a screaming N/A motor and the 2nd being forced induction? Just my thoughts and $.02 on that issue.

I wouldnt bet on a ducktail. If you fogged this image over in black then it would look identical in the rear. Never hurts to dream tho does it. If it is a ducktail then I'm in..

On second thought I agree with you. Now that Shelby is officially working with Ford the original Shelby themes will be locked in for their use only.

The tail wing doesn't exactly come across as 'duck". It appears to overlap past the the trunk line over the side fender. Sort of reminds me of the style used on late model Camaros. But heck from that dark silhouette anybody's guess could be right.

Shelby doesn't hold a patent on putting stripes on cars. Saleen, Steeda, Roush, etc. can do just about whatever they want. They will be competing with Shelby models for sales, so I'd definitely look for LeMans stripes on at least one other aftermarket model, most likely the Roush.

Not to disagree with you because at this point anyone can be wrong or right. However my take that Ford will act as sort of a central switch board between the major after-market SE such as Roush, Steeda and Shelby. I think Ford will enforce some sort of commercial ethics between competitors to stick to their traditional trademarks. This is just my personal guess. And I would be humbly surprised if I will be proven wrong

Something tells me that Roush has no problem using original Shelby design ideas:

I think Le Mans-style stripes have become a Roush trademark in recent years:
