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.

From: CenTex...sort of
"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.
