The hood is from Shelby http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/sgt043pc.htm

Side rocker panel from Shelby http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/rockerh.htm

Spoiler from Shelby... http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/spoilerh.htm (or CDC Outlaw basically. Which came first though? o_O)

That one is running the California Special splitter though. http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/gr3z-17626-aa.htm Find at cheaper places..

Grills are Shelby as well but you can't get the upper. http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/ltergrill.htm

Silver Shelby Venom for wheels http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/venomwheel.htm

Pretty much could build your own for pretty cheap honestly lol
And Ford Racing Track Handling suspension package. $1,300
https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-FR3A-M8

Is tbe GTE based on the ecoboost while the Shelby GT is based on the GT?
No, GTE is a a GT with all the fancy body kit parts, ford racing suspension package, new wheels and a BUNCH of Shelby logos all over it. You can get it with ($$$$) or with out a supercharger.

It's been 5 years, so I assume the cheapening of the Shelby name is in full swing? slap on a bunch of aftermarket parts, nothing unique, add Shelby stickers. Up charge. I think the Shelby Charger had more merit than this mustang.

Apparently everyone has forgotten that the original Shelby Mustangs were just modded V8 fastbacks, done post-factory, at Shelby American.

Sounds familiar. :ninja:

Obsolutely Right ...

But you should rent "A Faster Horse"
When Shelby started out he was not charging a small fortune for their modded cars.
Today you can built a faster horse on your own without the Shelby
Name and be a whole lot cheaper. ;)

Not really melodrama. by cheapen, I didn't mean "cheap knock off" cheapen but cashing in on the name as means to up charge and offering nothing unique or special. Thus devaluing what "Shelby" means.

the original Shelby's may have been post factory but most owners couldn't just open up an accessories catalog (no online ordering back then), order all the same parts and easily piece it together and have the same car in their garage for way less. It may have been parts-bin engineering but it was a combination of manifolds, rear ends, etc you couldn't easily get after market, put together in a car at a reasonable price and exceptional performance.

Even the Shelby Charger/GLH/GLH-S was parts bin engineering during a dark era of automotive history. But he took what little he had to work with and made a fun light car that, for that time went fast. It had about 170 hp in 83. the 83 mustang GT had 175.

Not melodrama.
