Thank you for clearing that up. It really goes back to my point of about our cars being a Shelby and not a Mustang.

Ford did not use Mustang in its official name when it called it a Ford Shelby GT350. And that says a lot because branding is important.

the original Shelby Cobra was built with a AC body and Shelby added a ford V8 and transmission. This Shelby is built with a Mustang body, but Ford added a different V8 and transmission.

So when entire car lines share major components and systems and different companies share entire cars with different badges, how many changes need to be made before it is a different car?

I've been reading these comment and to be fair, the car is a Shelby GT350, not a Mustang. It's a Mustang platform, yes, but it is called a Shelby GT350.

A Pontiac GTO was never called a Tempest...it was a . . .GTO.

To be fair, anyone call it whatever they like, I call my GT350 just that - a Shelby GT350. As we know, there are no Mustang logos or identification on the car for a reason. It was not an oversight by Ford.

GT500, GT350, GT390...not Cobras. A Mustang Cobra is a Mustang Cobra. A Mustang Shelby GT350 is a Mustang Shelby GT350. 1993 had a Cobra. 1999 - 2004 had Cobras. GT500 is not "Cobra" despite the Shelby badge. Cobras aren't Shelby moniker cars either.

I had a 98 cobra. Just saying.

You came over from the Mustang GT forum to bump a 3 year old thread here just to say it should be called a Mustang? Slow morning at the office?

My point is even Ford calls it a Mustang. For all those who say it is not a Mustang. Cant just drop Mustang from the name because you want it to be something else. If thats the case then I own a Ford GT. Not a Mustang GT.

Who the hell says it isn’t a Mustang over here? We all know it’s a damn Mustang. Are you making all of this up for a reason? What’s your point?

Look I said I was sorry for bringing up an old thread I didnt notice date. But to address you, did you read it? The thread? The entire thread is about people upset someone called their car a Mustang. Several even said Ford doesn't call it a mustang so they dont.... I was simply pointing out yes Ford does call it a Mustang.

But again lets just leave it be. I really didnt see was a old thread just chimed in cause thought was an interesting debate.

Lately, after asking how much hp, what it revs to, what it'll do in the quarter and/or top speed, I'll get something along the lines of, "the GT500 will blow it away!". Uh, okay. Thanks. Enjoy the ride home in your (insert name of less enjoyable vehicle than the GT350 here)

When I had both my 16 and 17 more people than not just assumed it was just a Mustang. I'd say ya but this is a Shelby high performance car. And every kid that had a Charger in town was always wanting me to take it out on a side road and run quarter mile against them. They had no clue what power and what this car is really for.

I was at a gas station last week and a guy walks by my Shelby and says “Mustangs, they are a dime a dozen”,
I said “Ignorance is bliss” Then he got in his Honda Civic and left!
