Just wait a few days. Shelby Automobiles is introducing the worst kept secret of the automobile age. I believe on Janaury 18th.

Let's see what you can do with the back end. The front already looks good.

January 18th will be the 45th anniversary of the introduction of the original Shelby GT350. You don't have to be an insider to know that Shelby Automobiles is not going to let that little fact come and go without doing something special.

I was thinking a similar style as the Mustang RTR car for the rear bumper except the top section would be body colo and the rear "splitter" section would be hydrocarboned like I did for the side skirts.

Any long term affordable option, or just another 60k "holy crap you just changed my mind" price tag?

I was thinking this car would be a "tuner delight" buy in opposition to the GT 5.0 option. While I love the 5.0 and every info tidbit is like candy; Im still a firm believer that the stock longblock Ecoboost v6 has more potential performance yield. I can see FRPP jumping on that like Mopar did with the SRT-4; with the aftermarket being even more extreme. While it may have less stock power than a GT, I think that in this age of fuel economy, stepping slowly into different trends, and to enter the game as a light foot model aimed at performance lovers.....this would fit the bill between the GT and Gt500.

I understand the difference in opinion though and where you are coming from. If this was to ever happen, I would believe this issue would be similar to the Camaro SS with a 396 vs. a Z28.....in which is the higher model.
I like to think of my idea of a GT350 concept to be like a modern "1969 Z/28 purpose like" car. If that makes any sense. Im there is someone to explain that concept better than me. lol.

If recent history is any indication, I would assume the latter. Shelby Automobiles does not build cars looking to sell them to average Joe's.

I just don't see a market for the GT350. Why would there be something between the GT and GT500? Isn't there supposed to be a Boss released in 2012 that is between the GT and GT500 as well? Also, not to mention the countless aftermarket companies (Saleen, Roush, etc.) that have cars in between the GT/GT500.
