I love part, particularly the hood and the rear light treatment..........but it's not instant love. I think it may be a grower.

This topic needs a poll - love/hate it.

for those commenting on the price....it doesn't matter, they couldn't pay me to drive that thing.

I wonder how much extra they would charge to leave the stock interior in it, tacky stripe delete (gotta love the GT 350 carved out on the hood, lol), rip off the ground effects and throw away the cragars?

Only thing positive is the confirmation of a supercharger on a 5.0! With piston spray jets from the factory, I knew they had more in mind for this block.

Overall, the car is a failure in my mind. I'd buy the GT500.

The car looks fat compared to the original GT350. The original GT350 was thin and lanky. Sure, the S197s always looked more muscular than earlier years, but this looks ... plump.

I always liked the shelby look of things, but this... this just doesn't do anything for me.

Also, it does look like the headlights are blacked out, now that looks good. I just noticed that all the 2011's are. Nice!

They're certainly proud of the fact that it's a Shelby GT350, as made evident by the gobs and gobs of badging/labeling... Really, do we need to be told TWICE per fender what the car is? Or for that matter twice whenever looking at the hood?

no mention that it's either the 3.4 or 4.0L blower that was "slapped on"

Still not great but some minor changes. This car started out with a whole lot of potential and ended with a whole lot of fail.

Better but that is a lot of white plastic and really looks like a diaper.
