I noticed that too, "Kenneth don't spill mocha on the leather!"Yeah, fat old dudes.
While we're on the subject on target audiences and marketing, did anyone notice that every reveal image of the 18 Mustang featured some trendy hipster millenials in almost every shot, strutting their new world fashion and tight man pants? I doubt any of those models would be buying a $40,000 car, let alone a Mustang.
"GOD DAMMIT BECKY. GET YOUR UGGS OFF MY SEAT" or "THIS INTERIOR IS TERRIBLE. IT NEVER MATCHES MY FLANNEL SHIRTS AND I CAN'T SEE MY BEARD FROM THE MIRROR" OR "THE ROOFLINE IS TOO LOW, I CAN'T USE MY SELFIE STICK".I noticed that too, "Kenneth don't spill mocha on the leather!"
They will bust on that attempt. That group is using their parents' money or a trust fund, and currently barristas at an enthusiast coffee joint next to an all day bar/slam poetry lounge. And the image they want to associate themself with is not a Ford, but a Tesla or equivalent EV to compliment their chique double wide (tiny house). None of my succesful friends fit into the hipster genre. That's probably only a bubble that exists in places like California, Portland, and Austin, Texas.That's the market Ford is targeting however..trendy, techno savvy and image conscious young adults with money.
In a not so shocking revelation..that's the market they targeted with the original Mustang..young professionals that were image focused.
Same sentiments, if $ was not an object I would be on this in a heart beat!If I had the $$$$ there would be no hesitation
10.9 seconds...........?Boring.
So? It's a 5.0 just like the GT. Slap a supercharger on your GT and some suspension bits/FRRP half shafts and you're right there performance wise for $20k or more less. That 10.9 is the upgraded supercharger, so even more $.10.9 seconds...........?

The issue is Shelby used to mean something. The old Super Snake was a huge 5.8 liter supercharged engine and then modded further by Shelby to 850hp. It wasn't just a GT with a blower slapped on and badged as a Shelby. It was the big badass of the bunch that you could not replicate in your garage.
if only. sadly though there are people they keep using them to make these shelby cars...(it's a stupid gt vin) and somehow they are staying in business. is what it is. someones buying it...but very few and i mean very few super snake or gte owners on this forum and facebook group if at all so I guess it's older crowd who keeps them in business.So?
