For an extra $10k you can take home a GT500, but even still these damn cars weigh 4 thousand pounds. Lose a thousand pounds and its worth it. Let's face it, it looks badass, makes tons-o-power, but with that much weight its not really that impressive. ****, you can nearly buy a ZO6 for that much and we all know what they will do. When you bought a Shelby back in the 60's you bought a legit race car, whether it was a cobra or 65gt350. I think today ford is just trying to sell cars and the styling of the new Shelby gets peoples' attention. It's a name brand and it's more or less a marketing gimmick than anything else. Throw some badges on it, exhaust, intake, and sell it for $10k more, give me a break. While the STI is gay in many aspects, the bottom line is that it takes the cake from what is supposed to be an American Muscle car, Shelby should be embarrassed to put his name on this stuff.
