    :cornut: $38,700 okay but how about a smaller lightened Shelby Cobra Mustang with better suspension/brakes/HP turbo charged engine and a more traditional Mustang shape. DREAM ON Jason.:Thumbsup:

    I drove a regular ST and it was fast. I would have traded my MCS in for it but they dealer insulted me with a lowball trade in.

    No power mods? I sat in a ST, I like it. The seats are bad azz! But $15k for suspension, brakes and exterior, naa. But, I do like the car.

    I read an interesting interview with Pete Brock. I may be paraphrasing a bit here. He said Shelby's talent came from surrounding himself with the best people. The talent was theirs not Shelby's.

    :cornut: That's sacrilage of a Yankee trying to put down one of our Texas boys.:wink::biggrin5: Had he not put the team together then there would have been no Shelby Cobra. The President has his cabinet and Carrol Shelby had his 'team.':Thumbsup:

    No doubt. After just coming out with the SHelby Mustang 1000 HP car then this. I like the look but dang that is pricey for no more performance over stock...
    Wonder what that future "tune" is going to cost.. and I'm a BIG Shelby fan but this doesn't follow in his usual visions..
