I think the nameplate really looks out of place. I liked it spelled out across the back like the concept but if thats not going to happen maybe something a little more understated with the Shelby name in it such as the '67.

 

Although I would have perfered a more understated plaque like the 67 Gt500 I feel that this is unique to this car and I like that. So I say ok to it. This car is going to be a classic someday just like the 65's thru 70's.IMO

 

How about....we call it...the SVT Cobra???
Why?
Because..ITS NOT A SHELBY. (Plus, everyone knows GT500s sucked anyway)

Or am I the only one that wishes death on that ancient name-whoring SOB--and only feels mildly guilty saying that?

 

Bold statement from a man that drives a Taurus!

 

I like the one on the concept

 

Haha, even family car owners can have strong feelings about sell-outs...

And the original GT500 did suck, the only Shelby worth owning was the first GT350.

 

YOur the only one.......

 

Okay okay, maybe not DEATH...I would settle for retirement.

 

Your member title should now be revoked.

 

Gee that's nice - I'd settle for you keeping comments like that to yourself.....

 

The new Shelby is cool. AnotherMustangMan (who drives a Taurus!) needs to simmer down! All Shelby's deserve the recognition they get. The new one may not be as hands-on Shelby as the ones of yester-year but it is still an awesome car and a great tribute to both Ford and Shelby's heritage whilst blending in modern performance by SVT. It's a cool car and it IS a Shelby. People with opinion such as yours should really keep them to themselves, they are not constructive at all and people will take offense to things like that, especially on a Mustang forum.

Oh, and the Shelby nameplate looked better across the centre as in the concept. However, I am glad they put it on there!

 

I wish it was an SVT Cobra. Only Because then I could Probably afford to buy one. The Shelby Name adds$$$$$ to the Car. Call it a GTS S for Supercharged. Just sell me one!

Haha, I love how everyone is defending Shelby. Do any of you actually know anything about the man? Go do yourself some research, I think you'll be amused with what you find.

Oh well. Judging by the responses on this page alone he really is an American legend. Sold out, made a killing for doing so, AND people STILL love him.

MT- "So whats your involvement with the car?"
Ol' Shel- "Well, thats hard to decipher. My name is on the car...."

 

I voted the name spelled out, centered ...

and I wanted the wide tail lights.

 

That script style actually came about on the 1980's Shelby charger

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

flash back to the comericals " Dodge boyz have more fun "

 

107 HP?!? WOW! Mr. Shelby did an amazing job tweeking that engine!

 

Somebody get the rope!

 

That is truly sad. My Toyota from the mid-'80s would've smoked that POS!

 

Man, I wonder what one of these rare babies would bring on the auction block!! I bet these things sold for thousands over sticker price.
