wow honestly im definately happy I'm glad that shelby is finally offering something in between and honestly I think it looks pretty great. I'm not the biggest fan of the hood (was a huge fan of the gth hood tho) and I think it could use a spoiler of some sort either stock or gt500 but other then that I think its great. Especially the fact that it comes in black and silver I love that! Without a doubt this is a big possibility for me and Amy thanks a ton for informing us its incredibly appreciated especially because this is w/o a doubt the best mustang forums in existance. By the way I can't really tell but are those the shelby American Racing wheels? If we could get better pictures then that it would also be really appreciated seeing how it's already out and about now no harm

Black/silver and white/silver? That just killed a lot of peoples dreams of classic shelby colors. I hope you got more colors planned, and something else more than the FRPP packs. And no unique Shelby mods or packages?

A supercharger would be a nice option. And those CS wheels would be great with this car.

 

That's ok, not every Shelby will be for everyone, hopefully on of the others will appeal to you

Amy

 

to be honest the real question is gonna fall on the price assuming it has all three frpp packages (which means 4:10 gears for the manual yippeee!!!) and it comes with full warranty no issues like you have when you purchase the frpp packages later and its priced around the 30-32 range this is definately what I would buy no question about it

 

btw the hood is functional right?

 

If you look at the picture, Its hard to see the detail.So, the hood scoop takes it design que from the Cobra hood scoop, and it has rivets, if that is the wrong term, my appologies, I am trying to help with the info. The Shelby GT hood has rivets on the scoop.


Amy

 

It will not ship that way do to warrenty's, but we will include the pattern to be cut out. Part of our agreement with Ford, We have to adhere to higher standards and we're ok with that.

Amy

 

We are working on many options for all shelby's regardless of thembeing made by us or Ford. Supercharger is one of them


Amy

 

well I can't see rivets in those pics but i do see hood pins. I'm lost on the rivets but i'm sure all will be clearer once good high rez pics come out.

 

Amy,

Will this vehicle be available with a rear spoiler or does it only come without one?

 

Hood and side scoops that don't scoop.

Taters... all taters.


Taters def: Bulges and/or an add-on for American built cars that serve no actual function but look "racy".

 

what pictures?

 

You don't know much about the original Shelby A/C Cobras, do you? Look at this picture, see the rivets that hold the scoop to the aluminum sheetmetal??

 

ahh I think I found the rivets in question.
hard to tell on these but there is definitely highlights.
I think when Amy said Cobra she meant AC Cobra not SVT cobra. Upon looking at it harder it looks like the same scoop or close to it that Unique Performance uses on the cobras.

a little photoshop magic later....

[edit] Actually TRMach1 I know loads about the car..but Amys wording was confusing along with the lack of quality of the photo as In I couldn't see the rivets in question till I upped the contrast of the photos. But I have no idea why I'm trying to justify this to you.

 

Right here mate

Why should we assume the reference was to a Shelby A/C Cobra when we are talking about Mustangs? Unless specifically mentioned when I hear/read 'Cobra' I think of Mustang Cobra.

 

Actually, I didn't mean for that to come out as condecending. It's just that when she said Cobra, I knew exactly what she was talking about. Anyone who has been around Carroll Shelby will verify that when he says "Cobra", he's not talking about a Mustang.

 

I read in one article that Shelby has to follow a non-competing agreeement with Ford
on producing Mustangs, so this may be why the mods must meet with Ford's approval and only "function" as Ford wants them too.

Maybe Amy can add some more or correct this information?

 

Black w/ Silver & White w/ Silver????
Rivets on the hood scoop???? (It's not an A/C Cobra, it's a Mustang)
This is the car that's supposed to fit in between the GT and the GT500???

Sorry, Amy, but I expected something better from Shelby.

 

Fair enough... No harm done
For me on a mustang board when someone says cobras I think SVT. To me the Cobra name goes so far above and beyond the AC version, I tend to think Coletti not Shelby. But that's niether here nor there..the car has rivets or fasners or something like that call it what you will. I think Shelby might have a slight fastener fetish going here between the grill on his other car and this scoop..I bet we'll all find it riveting. HAHAHAH I kill me

Chuck you got me wondering about the non compete
