They are working on the 2012 model? I wonder how many of the 2011 GT350's they have sold?

I think in between 200 and 300. They had a tough time getting donor cars and they couldn't sell any supercharged cars until the Whipple blower got OE certified, so I don't think they delivered any cars until August or September.

5 or 6, maybe? Not a wildly popular car.















Okay, maybe a couple hundred?

I don't usually agree with Jalopnik on much but I'm agreeing with this assessment

Although I will say at least they fixed the diaper

Whilst I like the light caps (what would you call them, Doug? ) I think they would have been better if each was one piece, rather than three. Take a look here......there are an awful lot of shutlines going on




I respect what Mr Shelby has achieved in the past, and clearly there's still enough of a (well heeled) following to purchase these GT350s, but for the price they want? Hmm, not exactly excellent value, are they?

My opinion on these cars was changed at the Shelby Bash in Vegas. Those cars on the track were amazing. They were blowing past GT500s and a couple Super Snakes. Of course, the pace car was driven by a Shelby dude who knew the track and the other cars were owners. But the GT350s were darn impressive. They sounded amazing and looked a lot less awkward in person.

If I had the means, I would definitely pick one up.

Motor Trend said the same thing. They tested the 525 hp version and got 0-60 in 3.7, 1/4 mile in 12.0 @ 120mph, and it pulled 1.04g on the skid pad. They said it was the fastest, best handling, best sounding Mustang they have ever tested.

That red vert looks awesome, and I'm not usually a big vert fan.

But, aren't they making a 600+ hp version of the 350? I hate to say it but, it's ugly as sin?

The white and blue striped couple is the best looking car with a Shelby name in a long long time.
