2007 Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 by SVT

[COPIUM]

yea they got a chevelle and camaro comin out to

 

[NASA]

I love Chevelles!!

 

[Cranky]

I'd love to have a '03/'04 Cobra, but I think the Shelby GT500 will be the ultimate Mustang. Just imagine swapping the blower pulley, and doing full exhaust on that fuckin' thang. Major HP easily......

 

[GHP]

that shit looks way tough, whats the price tag on something like that??

 

[Cranky]

They are speculating that it will be less than $40,000.....the '04 Cobras were around $35,000 I believe.....

Here is the legend Carroll Shelby standing with it.....

 

[Cranky]

I read today that the new Camaro project got the axe and isn't going to happen......

 

[VanD]

i think the new mustangs are plain ugly- the back especially looks like its 5 feet off the ground. this GT looks better though- have to see in real life to decide (is this a concept still or ready?).

Kinda tired of all this retro shit too- FORD doesn't have a single sports car that's not just taking from its past does it? T-bird (gay), Mustang (ehh...) and the GT40 (sick).

new Corvette Z06 is gonna be amazing.
