SVT designed the car and Ford builds it. The Shelby name is used for marketing purposes only - there is nothing Shelby about the GT500.
And just in case you don't believe me...

You know, before you start accusing others of not knowing what they're talking about, you might want to buy a clue first.
Shelby had a bit of input, but that's as far as it went. The car was ultimately designed in house by SVT(Ford) and it is built in Flat Rock, Michigam. It's ultimately a marketing scheme used by Ford to license Shelby's name to sell cars. That's really all there is to it. |
I am not saying shelby designed the car. All I'm saying is people who say all he did was put his name on it are wrong. Which they are. Shelby drove the car and as the video states if he didn't like something he told them and they fixed it. Granted 95 percent of the credit should go to Jamaal and the rest of the team. But shelby played an active part as well as Jamaal has stated and thanked him for as well.
