Shelby GT 500 Impressions
"ABOUT perfect" Pretty much there, just lacking a touch here or there, as in something more distinguishing in the rear section of the car. Why not an integrated ducktail? They did extensive work on the front end, couldn't they make a new trunk lid with an integrated lip, instead of this bolt on? Other than that, i love it. Can't wait to hear specifics about power and price. More importantly, i can't wait till this car starts facing off with vettes and vipers in the magazines, those should provide fun reading.

I may end up spending $50 in magazines before it's all over...

Wish it had the GTR/concept tail lights. I probably would prefer a few, very minor alterations, but it is really, really close to perfect. The more I see it, the more I start to like it.
I hope the 5.4 S/C won't be too heavy though. Price and test drive will still be my determining factors.

I love it. I would agree that an integrated ducktail would be a bit better. My guess is that the little things like that come back to us as a reduced cost. Either way, I am happy because it is a quality car.
I'm not a big fan of the elongated concept lights, but I really like Vyto's version of the lights. This Shelby actually makes the current lights look much better though than they do on the V6 and GT.

Almost perfect, but an integrated ducktail and side rear brake scoops like the 2005 concept would have made it perfect for me.

I do like the scoops on the concept. Similar scoops would make a nice option. I thought I wanted window scoops until I saw some of the SEMA cars--nobody has nailed a set that I like very much, except on the concept.

It's ABOUT perfect... but I'd like to have seen an integrated ducktail and the concept tail lights and side mirrors. Then it would have been perfect
