Only 825hp?

Why not 1,025HP....

The seating upholstery is how a top tier automobile should look... they did a great job with that design and perspective.

I do like the rear spoiler, it’s really integrated nicely with the rear of the car - not broken out of proportion or “riced”.

I also like the add-on front and rear black ABS rocker treatments - are those available anywhere?

Like most of the way it looks, but ever since someone in a thread awhile back pointed out the empty bottom grille area, I can't stop noticing it. Why not at least put the honeycombs there too so it looks complete? Wouldn't interrupt airflow much more at all.

It's a great looking car, and the performance sounds great too, but there is one technology I want to know more about. How the hell did they dig up a dead man and get him to sign his name?

Looking great!! Side, rear and interior look great. But not that fussy on the look of the front.

Shelby is the automotive Elvis. He's been spotted roaming the neighborhood and he never died.

The front looks entirely too cluttered. I agree with a previous poster, without a heavily reworked rotating assembly one is getting short-changed. And for the love of all that's holy, the 6MT had better be a Tremec. This is one case where the pinstripes next to the mains are a definite detractor from the look.

the point was "for the price", not that it was a guaranteed grenade with the pin already pulled.

I don't understand why they didn't put in a Tremac manual transmission or give it as an option. If your paying top dollar you want the best.

Another example of trying to correct that god awful front fascia/hood on the 2018-19 model GT's.... I like the design, but I do agree the front end is a bit busy.. Without Carroll Shelby alive and putting his thumb print on it (everything after 14MY) it's really not worth the price.

OUCH...... I like the Shelby front end better, but the '18-'19 is NOT God awful...!!!
I hope you don't need to go find the internet forum approved flame-retardant kevlar suit.

For no real reason, I was thinking it was based on a GT500. You've helped me to see that's incorrect.
Ya me too.... I was crying tears of joy a little on the inside until I realized it wasn't based on the GT500. back down to earth now.

I don't know man, I just can't get excited about these. For the price, it's just not worth it. Considering this is a GT platform they have modded, I just can't help but think how I could build something far superior for the same money if I were to just do it on my own.

This makes absolutely no sense, It's 130k Shelby without any actual Shelby inside? The fu... That's like paying double the price of a GT350 to get a GT oh wait... But hey the seats are nice lol.
