2011 Shelby
2009 and 2010 are the only years there has been a Shelby GT500 but not a Shelby GT or GT350 offered. I wonder if Carroll's been toying around with the new 5.0?

if he has, id like to see something more than just a GT with shelby stuff on it and a jacked up price. itd be nice to see them go inside the engine itself like saleen, but if course thatd prolly not be in the budget.....im just a dreamer

We've known for a while a GT350 is on the way. They've been talking about it on TeamShelby.I could see it as a $40k (Fully equiped) car and fit nicely between a GT and GT500.

I doubt he was toying around with anything, since SVT did all the work, and he just got to slap his name on it and pocket the massive markups

SVT developed the GT500, but Shelby developed the Shelby GT and the Terlingua cars
A GT based Shelby, lowered, bigger wheels, slight facia changes and a 450bhp would fit nicely between the GT and GT500
http://www.leftlanenews.com/shelby-gt350.html
Leftlane has learned that Shelby Automotive is developing a high-performance, Ford Mustang-based model using Ford’s new Coyote V8 powerplant as its base. Rumors and speculation hint that the new model could be called GT350 in honor of the historic model’s 45th anniversary this year.
A white 2010 Mustang with Ford’s new 5.0-liter V8 is reportedly being used as a developmental mule at Shelby’s Las Vegas design studios. Given that Shelby has already stated it does not intend to produce any 2010 or 2011 Shelby GTs, the company’s production facilities should have plenty of room for a new, higher volume model.
The 5.0-liter V8 car would likely slot in below Shelby’s high-performance Super Snake, which can be ordered with up to 725 horsepower. It’s unlikely that a revived GT350 would produce even as much power as the entry-level 630-horsepower Super Snake, but it will undoubtedly be a healthy upgrade over the standard 412-horsepower 5.0. The Super Snake is expected to stay in production as Shelby’s halo car.
It’s rumored that the new car – whether or not it actually uses the historic GT350 nameplate – will be unveiled at a GT350 45th anniversary gala in Scottsdale, Arizona, on January 18. That invitation-only event serves as the opening party for the annual Barrett-Jackson auction.

Can't argue the Terlingua cars, but for the SGT, the suspension was developed by FRPP/Multimatic/Eibach, and the exhaust by FRPP, I'd wager the tune was done by FRPP but I can't confirm that.
