2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra
Ford and Shelby built a one-off GT500 as a tribute to Carroll. Tasteful widebody kit and 850 horsepower:

Remove the hoodscoop..........otherwise it's perfect.
This is what the '13 GT500 should have looked like, to differentiate it more from the more humble Mustangs.

"What size rims, sir?"
"They're 20's."
"Nice...what width?"
"They're 345's."
*sound of every neck in the shop whiplashing
"...I'm...sorry, did you just say 345's???"
"Yes."
*sound of many pants tenting
"Um...ok...let me get Goodyear on the line for you."
"No, I'm serious. They're 345's."
"So am I, sir."
"Oh. Not a common size for y'all?"
"No, we're going to have to raid an F1 garage for rain tires. Now, will you be paying for this with a bank loan or body parts?"

You should check the Viper ACR tire size.

Not a fan of the scoop and not a fan of widebody kits, but I'll give it a pass in this case, but it would be neat to see the guardsman blue with white stripes show up on the 2014 color palatte as part of a proper send-off for the S-197.

ALSO hate the hood scoop. Love everything else. I wonder what Shelby America would charge you to build something like that? (it's purely curiosity as I'm trying to justify a stock shelby in the future, if I don't talk myself into a 4 door something) I am often unsure of which way to go, and yet pretty much always ends up in a mustang.
