If anything, I would rather buy a tourning/nav 370z and send it off to GTM before buying a Nismo if I wanted a GT500 competitor. What you get from Shelby though is basically that, but it is sold at a Ford dealership.
Shelby has NOTHING to do with the development of the GT500.

This is a common misconception and is one of the reasons Ford should have just kept calling it the SVT Cobra. Ford only licenses the Shelby name. SVT develops the car. There is NO engineering involvement from Shelby.
