so I will assume this is a "Shelby" KR...much like the GT-H and Shelby GT?....becuase so far they are the ones screwing up the names by leaving out "350"....this will be a shelby modified gt500 I bet

they are going the wrong way on this one!!!!....why go up in horsepower? they are missing the 350-400 HP semi-affordable car. They already have a car no one can afford....why do we need another one?

I see it as a positive. It'll reduce the demand for the GT500. 5,000 should be built instead of 500 so they can become the ADM kings of the road.

I see your point...but I dont think that 500 will be enough to dent the GT500 ADMs....they will all be sold before they hit lots, and probably for double MSRP...like Ford GTs

well at least if they do that, dont call it a KR because the old KR's were i little higher powered then the similar standard gt500.

but i do hear you, there needs to be a medium mustang

That would make it the Ford Shelby Cobra GT500ADMKR.

Isn't the title of this thing getting long enough already...?

I'll wait for the GT500 "R" . . . (which if Ford was smart would simply be 'Cobra R').

Over on stangsunleashed.com one member mentioned that 3 days after the KR is announced there will be another announcement (can't find the post now). Based on events on here where the GT 350 was mentioned and then these posts disappeared,

I wondering (out loud), if the GT 350 will be announced in a few days. This is just speculation on my part. I've got no inside info.

SVT is supposed to make an announcement on either April 1st or 2nd.

Yes indeed where is the Mach 1 and all its flavors ... 351, 390, 428 ... translates to ... 4.6, 5.0, 5.4 ( 325 to 345 hp, 350 to 375 hp, 400 to 425 hp ) ... no supercharger.

5 speed auto or 6 speed stick

lots of color and stripe combos ... even though I like the 69s over the 70s, the 70s hood stripe is really nice.

okay .. back to work ...

Yea where is the GT 350. That really should have been the Shelby GT. Add the FRPP headers also.

Unless Shelby is waiting till the 09 edition to release the GT 350 on the new body style?
