I am sure back in 65 when the GT350 was made, many said "what ? for that overprice mustang ?" Heh. I challenge anyone who would not want that "overprice mustang" now.

Yeah it is out of range for the common guy....to bad really. But as the video said: "we make cars that Ford cannot turn a profit on" So with that, I do not think they are worried about who will and who will not buy this car.

It will be for the Shelby purist, plain and simple. Also for a few that want a high performance mustang with Shelby's name on it. Either way the car will do well. I just hope I get a chance to see one in person.....and living in the MIA, I think those chances are high.

The only high performance car Shelby has that is worth the money is the GT500, and that really isn't a Shelby. Of course that truck they're releasing may be the exception, cause at least it looks good.

Here's a quick chop of what I would have done with the rear of the car:

Seems like Shelby's solution to the reverse lights was the same as the Camaro teams...minus some points in the style category. Where would you put them?

I think the back end looks good. I wish the standard mustang was like that instead of the half black unpainted crap it has now. I wish they would have kept the rear from the 2005 to 2009 and just restyled the front. Then they would of had something.

hmmmmmm.


I'm undecided on that one.


I like the back of the current mustang (in black) with darkened tail lights. One neighbor of mine has a black camaro with blacked out tails, and another has a black Stang with blacked out tails. Both look good.

I would put them in part of the far inside set of lights.

I was thinking more like in the small rectangle center of the far insides, but that would do in a pinch.

how about C5 vette style. In the center, on the sides of the license plate.

That's a idea. I actually like the back though. I think were the reverse lights are is fine. Sort of like were my reverse lights are on my 65, as I have a Shelby valance rear. I also like where they put the Shelby at. Putting higher up basically makes it look like the GT500 lettering.

vertically alongside the license plate. Kinda hide them there. Otehrwise, I like garagelogics version of what the Shelby should look like.

Wow... I would rather have the standard 2011 GT's back end rather than that one.
