I respect your opinion. I'm not saying I'm right or Tob* is right either. It's all just opinion and now you know how we feel. Though I don't speak for him.
I like the performance of the car and I don't give a flying **** whose name is on it.

Wow, I swear, I think the hardcore SVT guys on this forum need a shrine where they can vent. Maybe burn some effigies of Carroll Shelby and leave an 'offering' (choose your preferred form of produce) for Coletti to swoop in and grab during the night or something. Then they can cruise all night and heckle owners of early 80's turbocharged Dodge models to work off some of that frustration.

I don't get it either Shelby was a real American hero in sports car racing. The only American company to every win the World Championship of Sports cars period end of story and he did it with Daytona Cobras built by Shelby powered by Ford. The GT40 did not win the WCS, Ford never won the WCS. Ferrari quite racing WCS after the humiliation of being beaten by Shelby. If Shelby had been Italian he would have been another Ferrari an institution and national treasure to the Italian public. Here we are on Ford Mustang Shelby board and people are ripping on Shelby...makes no sense.

I don't hate Shelby. If anybody is hating here it's jsaylor hating SVT.
You've got to understand this Joe. I simply don't care if his name is on there or not. That's it. It's that simple. It doesn't make the car for me. If that's hate I don't know what else to tell you. I'm at a loss.

When I don't care about something I ignore it. All the arguing against having the Shelby name is an indicator of hate not from someone who doesn't care. I won't buy a Shelby mostly because I can build a car that suits me better for a lot less money. If you don't care build your own version of the Mustang and leave the Shelby version for those that do appreciate what Shelby brought to Ford. There are about a half dozen alternative Mustang modifiers you can choose one of those but save your breath bashing Shelby it pathetic.
