I honestly think this is a grower...........and it sounds fabulous

 

crap cant watch youtube at work

 

The exhaust note is one thing they don't have to change.

 

nvm

here's the M/T link

Yeah and the article filled in some blanks. More tweaks coming...

 

Hmm..it looks better in the flesh. Sounds interesting though, doesn't sound like a "Mustang" anymore...

 

Sounds like crap to me.

 

The video does make the car look better to me, however, I still think there are so many ways the design can be improved. At least all the F&F body kit stuff is functional

 

I just think this is the beginning of the end for Shelby automobiles!

 

I still think it looks like a JC Whitney Catalog on wheels, and how ridiculous is it that they Blank Out the Quarter windows on a GT-350, which one of the biggest things that distinguished an original GT-350 from a factory Mustang. It was the Plexiglass Quarter windows that replaced the louvers on a Mustang for improved visibility that people liked... Just Ridiculous, they only changed it to add crap that isn't necessary...As for the Center Exhaust paying homage to the 69-70 GT-350's Ummmm Not even close, they were much better designed and integrated back then. And if they were going to change the tail lights, why didn't they at least try to pay homage to the 69-70's tail lights like the 05 concept?





Instead they gave us THIS MESS......

 

Im pretty sure the car comes equipped with a 3.4L Whipple instead of the 2.3L that Whipple has out for the 05-10 GT's..

 

Am I the only one who likes it?? Sheesh

 

I didn't at first look. But it quickly grew on me. I dig it!

I hope its power & handling performance will earn its stripes...

 

Yay I'm not alone. I think it is very cool the way it's not just a badge and stripe job

 

Center exhaust is just :gay:

 

I don't get why they didn't use.............SHELBY wheels. Do they not have their own line of wheels???

 

Well it looks OK...but you pay out the BUTT for it!! $33,000+ the cost of a new Stang.

Lets break it down:

Body Kit $3000
Brakes $5000
Supercharger $5000
Wheels/Tires $4000
Badges/Stripes
screwed on
gauge pods/etc. $3000
total $20,000

$13000 PROFIT (and I thought our government was greedy)

 

Wha?? That's just a standard 40% retail mark-up.

 

Remember you have to also include the labor and other operating costs. Along with dividing out the cost of development to each car.

 

I hated it at first but it is growing on me!
