Well,it looks alittle better. Still not worth 60K though......

 

$60k? Try $70k. Everyone likes to say the GT is pushing $40k.

 

Now it looks pretty good!

 

I don't think there are enough of his signatures on the car, I think it needs another dozen or so!

Due to the curve in the rear/lights that whole black panel has sooooo many gaps in it, it looks too choppy... . Also why do the stripes and then just stop like 1/2 an inch above the panel? I'd rather run it into the panel or continue the whole length. Then the exposed screws in the reverse light mountings. and the fact that the rear has a very pronounced funneling down effect into a \_/ shape, isn't cuttin it for me at least. IDK, maybe i'm a lil too nit picky. But for 70,000+ ... This remake of a 350 just doesn't warrant that price tag.



Plus i wonder what sort of glare hits when the lights are on and when the brakes are applied?

 

I think we should have a contest to count how may times "Shelby" appears on the car.

 

Considering that is the only reason one would buy this car, I guess it makes sense that there are a lot of them

 

Nice

 

That close up shot of the rear tail light panels makes it look even cheesier. This hardly looks like the "extensive re-working" of the front and rear end that was mentioned in the blurbs leading up to the car's debut. I wouldn't be surprised if those parts were secured with double sided tape.

 

Car sucks. Only Ford knows how to design a proper Shelby.

 

It's not 100% what I would have done, either, but only Shelby can design a Shelby, Ford does not. And being a genuine Shelby does not depend on whether we like it or not. Ford couldn't have won a race on their own in the 60's without Shelbys input, so let the old man produce what he wants and appreciate it for what it is, or not, but no sense hating on it.

 

svt/shelby gt500 is a great mustang...maybe svt should have had their input on the gt350 and it would have actually been worth looking at without throwing up

 

Ya know I think they did a pretty good job on the rear spoiler but I don't understand why they didn't have a one piece front fasica instead of tacked on POS?

 

Wow. The rear was really the only aspect I liked, but even it looks bad in these new pics.

 

saw carroll interview tonight on speed bj...he said reaction was positive and that dealers that wanted wouldn't all get...guess meaning sold out?

he seemed pretty good shape for 87 and guy who 20 years ago had new heart...could talk up a storm...was pretty cool listening to him

 

Love or hate the car you have to understand that Carroll Shelby is just a figure head for this company.

 

Don't forget, Shelby is first and foremost a salesman -- what is he going to say--according to some web polls, only 17% of enthusiasts like it?

Generally, when I hear "reaction has been positive" I understand that to mean "reaction has been lower than we expected." When people generally like something, the reaction becomes "overwhelming" in PR-speak.

Also, they have only sold 100 according to Amy (last I heard), and I expect even that number is a bit higher than actuality (after all, she said it was going to be 3300#). Besides, I don't think this is sold through Ford dealers -- you pay SAI, and send them the car, and they do it. Dealers are not involved at all (other than buying the base car to ship to Shelby).

He is just trying to spur up demand by implying supply is low.

 

looks better in thiese pictures.

 

Better than what?
