nobody with any kind of common sense would think that you can actually lift the front wheels off the ground with the kind of traction provided by a stock suspension and street tires no matter what kind of power you have. I bet those pics were created by some idiot that doesnt know much about cars.

Just typical Shelby making a Joke of himself and his company.

I don't need all that. I just gotta find the photographer Shelby used!

I hadn't seen it.

Kinda pisses me off though, regardless of whether the photgrapher edited it or not, Shelby probably just ruined that guys career by blaming it on him.



Oh well, I won't be owning a Shelby any time soon.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it a bit ironic that this guy is whining about people who are supposedly whining? LOL. I mean, c'mon, this isn't really just whining. Ford is clearly fraudulent in this case and yes, it is significant. This significantly doctored photo represents the vehicle to be something and capable of something that it is not. The result of their intent would have influence, if not found and checked like it was. I'm glad someone caught it. Pretty $hitty, imo. Doesn't mean the car isn't bad a$$, but that's going a little far.

Ha ha!
All the STOCK ZR1 needs to pull the stock wheels is some sticky tires!

I can't believe that people could look at those photos and think that they are real. Any person, with any knowledge of racing, could clearly see that they are phony.

LOL What morons! Those photos are so obviously fake I can't believe they'd even try to pass them off as real. If a car's front tires lift off the ground, I don't think the front suspension would be loaded down so much that the wheels still angle in towards the car. Pathetic move on their part to try and make the car look badder than it is.

PS - Can't believe how many people in the beginning of the thread are brushing it off -- bunch of closet Mustang fans apparently.
