The old Shelby names are meaningless. Unlike the Datsun/Nissan Z or most Bimmers,where the names call out the engine size,the GT350 got it's 350 from the distance in feet from one Shelby building to another as the story goes. So,500 sounds better than 350 so that's your big block name. The name didn't match the power(not that it's supposed to)until the '07. Shelby said if a car is good,a name won't matter and if the car stinks,a name won't save it.
