Like BC said I'd rather make one myself for a fraction of the price....No way he'd get one penny of mine.
I wont even say what i really want to say about this car as I'm sure I'll catch heck from the Shelbyites around here.

Something that I thought was extremely cheap looking was the way they did the grille. The billet style grille on the GT-H is an overlay and they simply cut out the pony and the fogs. They leave the original butchered up grille on the car!! Looks like crap!

This source is saying 4 to 5 thousand Shelby GTs sold exclusively through Ford dealers. If true, it would be almost double the production rate of the GT-H.

Also, another person in this thread says they will be called "shelby cobra mustangs". I doubt that this will turn out to be the case. Think it will be "Shelby GT"

...and then add the Performance parts to that.
Especially with all the new features being made available for the '07s.
The Shelby GT sounds nice - and more power to anyone who wants one - but I just don't know.

As the dreams of GT500 collectors cashing in at Barrett-Jackson 30 years from now begin to wither and die.
Hate to say we told you so.

Certainly.

Red w/ White, White w/ Blue would be classic IMO.
BTW, I just saw a GT-H while on my way to the Aquarium here in Tampa, FL. Sweet car. Gold or black painted stock wheels were going on mine if I got one.
Glad this new Shelby is coming. My daughter has already demanded I get Red w/ White...not bad taste she has, huh?

We'll see what the cost is.

Amy,
Can you tell us what day the press release will come out? Will this weeks Bold Moves release give us the detailed information we are eagerly anticipating?
My guess for colors is Black w/gold and White w/blue.

Amy, please read my personal preference of what a GT350 should be and pass it around at Shelby. (post # 46) Not only would it be a great tribute to the original, but it would also, IMO, help keeo the dealer mark-up down because it would be such a bare bones car.

On the colors, I would think history. I don't want to use colors that should be used for something more appropreiate
