They must have been pulling words out of a hat to come up with a name that terrible.

I'm sure people in 1963 thought it was a stupid name too. LOL. Also...that wasn't a street legal car and at only 8 ever built its more of a variant than an actual production car...but historic none the less.

I think it's low effort regardless of when it came out. I understand the desire to pay homage to a name, but to throw some tacky graphics and, imo, ugly wheels on it is a disservice.

Here's where I step in, and agree with you then take it to the point where I know most people don't wanna agree with me...but the truth hurts, I feel the same way about Ford using the iconic GT500 namesake on this new version too. Why? Before you plaster me with hatefilled messages here goes: 1. You could order or have put in any GT500 from 1968 to 2014 versions an auto trans. but IT WAS AN OPTION and stick was the standard, no stick, no iconic name should be used. 2. All GT500's from the past had a PROPER SHIFTER! 3. Please stop telling me you know Carroll Shelby would have loved this new car...I'm pretty damn sure he'd have the exact same criticisms that I do! 4. Flat Rock assembly line workers still cannot line up the front fascia and hood lines so even build quality from what I can see from release videos is essentially the same as a regular ole GT, none of which have I ever seen with perfect fit body panels (unlike every cookie cutter Honda which seems to me all of them line up flawlessly, even on their cheapest models). 5. Childlike graphics appeal to ricers and 14 year old's, unfortunately for you Ford, and Shelby American, not many of us die hard's who've bought your vehicles for the past 50+ years are ricers or 14 year old children.

That rear wing looks way out of place on that car. It's a freaking awning.

Not sure where you get some of your facts but I would certainly like to see a 2007 to 2014 GT500 that came equipped with an automatic transmission?

Where do you get some of this stuff!!

You read what I said too quickly then. I'd say re-read what I said so you can reel yourself back in... "you can order, or have put in" were my exact words. Precise as it gets, especially with all the auto conversion kits available to '07-'14 Shelby owners. Maybe you also did not know this...but Carroll himself had an auto trans conversion done on one of his own personal rides. Or maybe you didn't know that....I dunno. But I stand by every thing I stated, and more as accurate 100%. Now what I cannot do for you is take away any of the butthurt of me stating facts as some of us see it. Doesn't take away from all the great things about this new car either...but to me, Ford BROKE WITH ITS OWN ICONIC HERITAGE and to me, shouldn't have used the iconic namesake either. If you don't like me saying that, then that's the part where everyone isn't alike now are we?

It was an option within the years I specified, not all, but it certainly was an option. 100% accurate unless someone is butthurt over the statement and wants to try and tell me my words state something that can only be implied as me meaning every single year...which also, isn't what I wrote.

I love butthurt....smells like napalm in the morning. Some people need to slow down and read more carefully. I choose my words, very carefully.
