I started another thread with similar questions but it got into the shelby vs SVT discussion so i will try again here with a more focused title.

Fact: the SN197 was launched in 04 as an 05 model year car but the shelby did not show up until 2007.

Question: Will we have to wait another 2 years after the 2014 for the next shelby model or will we get it right away? thoughts?

 

Very likely that it will not be out the exact same day as the Base+GT. But it's also very likely it will not take that long to show up. If you want a prediction, I'd say since it could come out a couple to a few months later, but waaaay too early to say for sure.

 

Will there even be a Next Gen Shelby?
Shelby and Ford started in 2004 with the
Ford Shelby Cobra Concept


Then the
2005 Ford Shelby GR1 Concept


I think it was a 10 year contract that is costing Ford a boatload on every car sold...

I think Shelby will become like it was in the early to mid sixties. Building cars out of their
Vegas Factory on a limited yearly prooduction run. Ford,IMHO, should build great factory cars
like Mach 1, Boss 302/351/429, Cobra, GT/CS, etc

 

Y'know, I was thinking exactly that. It'd only be history repeating itself, after all
