5.4L Shelby Terlingua Racing Mustang? Nope! Limited run G.O. SGT

Guys over at the Shelby forums posted this article
http://money.aol.com/news/articles/_...19140309990025

Also there are some grabber orange GTs at Shelby autos right now
I just got word that there are approx. 50 new yellow Mustang GT's parked outside in the SAI lot. There are two that look finished with Black stripes, Shelby hood scoop, GT500 spoiler, and black Razor wheels. My source also said that he thought he saw a 5.4 badge on the front fender. &^%$* he didn't have a camera with him!
http://forum.shelbyautos.com/index.php?showtopic=1759

I think these are for the Shelby Terlingua Racing Team and won't be available to the public (just like the GT-H). If these indeed have N/A 5.4L engines that are putting out 400hp, I'm thinking they will bring out the GT-350 and it will have the same engine, and will be available to the public (probably a 09 job 1).

I've got no inside info, just putting together bits and pieces from various sources. I could be totally wrong on the GT-350 thing.

Working with Shelby Automobiles, we'll go public again to introduce a new generation of racers to this irreverent lifestyle with the cars and stuff they need to blaze their own path on the track."
Sounds to me like they want to start up a Pro Spec Mustang (SCCA, NASA) class. Ever since classes like Spec Miata got so large, Spec class racing is the big thing. 50 cars would do the trick.

I doubt the 5.4 thing, it would really drive up the cost of the car since it wouldn't be factory line installed. But who knows....

Wish I could help confirm this, but when we drove past the Shelby lot on
the July 10th, it was just full of Black, White, and some Blue cars.
Didn't see any Orange/Yellow ones.

(Cameras were packed away so I didn't get any photos)

I was wrong about these being Terlingua Racing Team cars. Instead they are 2008-Model Southern California Mustang Shelby GT Limited Run (300)
