Looks like history repeating itself. Again

Most available choices at your local car rental agency are tame appliances built to shuttle you from Meeting A to Hotel B. Back in the day, however, things were a bit different thanks to Shelby and Hertz. In 1966, the rental car company and Carroll Shelby partnered up to offer a custom Ford Mustang. Shelby built 1,000 units, Hertz rented them out and a horde of happy customers used them to rip up their local dragstrips and main streets. In 2007, the duo joined again joined forces to supply some muscle into the rental fleet. Now comes word that Shelby is looking to celebrate its 50th anniversary with an all-new rent-a-racer.

According to Automotive News, Shelby plans to team up with Hertz to bring a new generation of the Mustang GT-H into the world. Starting with a 412-horsepower Ford Mustang GT, Shelby will reportedly take the two-door and juice it up a notch before applying gold stripes to either a black car or a white one. The details of the mooted 2012 Shelby GT-H program have yet to finalized, but keep an eye out for distinctive Mustangs sitting at Hertz lots in the not-to-distant future.




Guess it could look like this

 

It will have traction control locked on, and will have strict GPS monitoring that will void any insurance you get if you get within 1000 yards of a race track or drag strip. Frankly, in this age of liberal litigation and nanny-state shenanigans, it just wouldn't be worth the hassle.

 

Still that would be pretty sweet!

 

How much were they to rent last time?

 

$300.00 a day +mileage....that was 3 or so years ago on the 2007.....

 

Yowza. Almost makes me glad I could never find one to rent.

Almost.

 

You can rent GT Premiums right now. I have one reserved for the 30th (my b-day). I swear I read somewhere that they're detuned though.
