    :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:

    That's exactly what I thought. I think putting the Shelby name on a FWD hatchback is a sin especially looking back at what incredible projects Carol Shelby was involved with. The ST is a great car, but not in the same league as prior Shelby cars.

    jimini- There is a cost a bunch of money option for the Shelby ST over & above the price of the regular ST. All you get are go fast decals & Shelby badges. :confused5:

    It's a boy racer entry car to get kids into Ford and Shelby. In the future if the kid stop skateboarding and pulls their pants up maybe he can buy a Shelby Mustang.

    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.
