Shelby American put some pictures up on their social media the other day. Beautiful car

That thing is gorgeous but for that price tag it better have some amazing specs. Or come with your very own Melania…

I love these cars. Would really like to drive one some day. What a great vehicle.
The side profile reminds me of my viper. Part availability must be a pain for these though.

I’d go the 427 or Godzilla route if I bought one. That thing would be wild. I would imagine those that buy them are mothballing them though.

Am I missing something in the Godzilla? Article said the specs aren’t that impressive, I’d think it weighs nearly twice what a coyote does…?

It’s a lot easier to package being a pushrod engine and not DOHC.

That’s the standard crate specs. I wonder if SA would juice it at all. Also if you pick the CF body option that car will be super light so 430hp and 470 ft/lb of torque would be pretty wild.

Yeah but you could do all that with say, a coyote that weighs even less with better hp and nearly as good torque… then put a blower on it and the car would be insane. All for the low low price of nearly have a million.

I also wonder if fitment is an issue. The coyote is a big motor, the Godzilla doesn’t take up as much space. Good comparison of specs here. The weight difference isn’t as much as you would think

Yeah, you’re prolly right, the spec 2 looks (relatively) small so the coyote might not fit width-wise…

Very cool car! I almost bought a series 1 several years ago but we just couldn’t come up with a price we were both happy with. It was a very cool car to drive and definitely an investment car, but I would have driven it, 100% for sure. I can’t stand cars that are put away for future value. If you’re going to buy one, you should drive it!!
I’m going to look into what the chance is that I can get one of these ten cars, my guess is they are already all sold??
