Too late. The lack of a stick and that ugly rotary knob shifter which is also found in an ugly ass base Edge has already done that. I think Carroll would punch someone in the face over that issue alone...please people, quit telling me Carroll would be proud/impressed with the direction Ford is going in... I call BS on that!
Time out......this may not have been a Mustang but in its day was an awesome car. My co-worker had an 87’ and it was blast to drive. Actually saw one earlier this year at Shelby American. It belongs to one of the managers.
That's what I'm thinking. If I were to get an EV, it would be that one.
Carroll Shelby couldn't care less where Ford was going with their consumer products other than Shelby branded products and their race cars. But even so, that relationship was and is no longer in the same context as it was in the 60's. Shelby himself had less and less influence as the years passed on. By the 2013 GT500 it was almost non existent except for him being allowed to see the development process. Zero engineering efforts were made by Shelby American on that car. Roush Yates had way more involvement than Shelby did. But to that end, when Carroll was asked what his favorite Shelby car was his response always was "The next one." His entire philosophy throughout his entire life was going against the grain from the original GT40 to the Dodge Viper to the 2007 GT500. Carroll Shelby's inspiration was always European design with American and domestic attitude so IRS's, dual clutch transmissions, and advanced aero are perfectly fitting for his namesake. You think the GT40 was Ford or Carroll Shelby's fresh out of their heads design? lol, that's funny. Carroll Shelby was not a traditionalist.
