Very Tempting - 2011 Shelby Mustang GT350

2011 Shelby Gt350 — Autoblog

This car looks sweet! I might get to learn to like that ugly backend that Ford came up with on their 2010 model.

And a note to you 3rd-party spoiler "wing" manufacturers: You see that small spoiler on the GT350? Now that is about the max size of a spoiler needed to get the job done instead of those stupid looking monstrous POS you 3rd-party manufacturers keeping putting out for the "Z" that add about 15+ pounds to the car, cause a ton of parastic drag and look absolutely rediculous. Why don't you 3rd-party manufacturing so-called engineers

take a lesson from old man Shelby a true racing legend (instead of you rice-paddy design wannabees) as Shelby has been there and been doing it for the last 45 years....

I think the price out of Shelby's garage will be around $47K. If it goes to 60K or more it will be because of the dealers tacking on their $20K surcharge like they did with the Shelby GT500. And that has nothing to do with Shelby or Ford.

Go read the article. It states that you buy a Mustang and then deliver it to Shelby afterwards. I'd say a custom Shelby build would be worth every bit of $60K.

2011 Shelby GT350: One Pudgy New Mustang - shelby gt350 - Jalopnik

At $33,995 for the upgrade, the GT350
Base price of a GT is 30k, add on the upgrade and you are at 60k.

That was the only thing I thought Ford got wrong with the design of the 2010 Mustang. It looks like some dumb design engineer said to himself...."Well it's a new model year so I guess I have to change something for the sake of changing something". That is sheer stupidity....

Yeap, the lights are still way too high, and everything is too round.

Seriously...I heard a woman was responsible for that 2010 backend design. Just like the woman that fouled up the 1995-1998 design with the 3 horizontal rear-light slats and goofy looking front-end that had absolutely no tie-back resemblence to the 60's and very early 70's Mustangs.

A woman designed the latest BMW Z4, and did one helluva job especially considering the previous model (male-designed) was hideous.

Must be the car model that either hits her design g-spot or not! I guess that draws into question how much "muscle" a Mustang really has...

why does it have a hood scoop? yet nothing really using it? i would expect for 60k to at least get some function, not the 'well its for cooling down the blower'
