What kind of idiot do you think is going to see this decal gimmick and think it's got a 427 under the hood? EVENTS RELATED package,it's not Roush slapping a 428 sticker on his for no reason,it's a LAME MARKETING EVENT PROMOTION......duh,get a life. A real enthusiast wouldn't just see a 427 sticker and get excited and especially a Shelby enthusiast,we would know what it is,another Shelby moneymaking scheme.
Only somebody like a ignorant Impreza owner would just see a 427 sticker and get excited. Do you think that '93 Indy 500 Camaro has 500HP or 500ci?

I don't have nearly as strong a bias as you do. 427 is a famous displacement. 500 is not a famous displacement. The name of the car is clearly Shelby 427, which suggests performance since Shelby is a performance brand. It suggests that Shelby shoehorned a 427 into a Mustang. This could not be further from the truth. If this was anything more than a publicity stunt to draw attention to the Mustang, it would say NASCAR 427-mile Shelby or something else denoting the race, not the car. The focus of the title is on the car, not the race, so it is clear that the race is just an excuse to make another excessively publicized, underperforming, and vastly overpriced Mustang. Ford has effectively sold out.
