I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Shelby line is just a designer brand of mustang. The cost is all in the name and the supposed collectability, and not so much the performance.
My Mustang GT will run high 12s on a track tire at a DA of over 2000ft, for much much less than the cost of Shelby GT (I'm not good enough to pull that on a street tire yet).
Needless to say I will blow the doors off of Shelby GTs.
Again....it is just the name and the appearance.
Hood pins on the new Mustangs are for looks mostly, they don't replace the factory latch for weight savings. Also many people use them to limit hood shake. Some of the cars hoods will shake at high speeds due to generally flat nose of the new Mustang, and because it has an aluminum hood. So hood pins solve that problem for folks.
